“Jim Downing’s story of courage, resilience, and faith is a must-read. He was already an original member of The Navigators ministry when he was caught up in the middle of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Jim ran into danger knowing his eternal destiny was secure- and his whole life has been devoted to sharing that hope with others.”

“Lieutenant James Downing didn’t just survive Pearl Harbor- he fought there. On the deck of his battleship, with Japanese planes raining down, he faced the flames of a man-made hell. And now he takes us back, to the day when evil failed to destroy faith and to the birth of a new American spirit, one that reigns to this day. The Other Side of Infamy is a priceless story by the rarest of authors: a battleship man at Pearl Harbor. There is no higher title.”

“The Other Side of Infamy is the compelling and beautiful story of an ordinary man experiencing extraordinary, world-changing events while abiding in Christ, meditating on his Word, and following Jesus in everything. It had been my great privilege to count Jim Downing as my friend and mentor for several decades. I can assure you that this remarkable story is not mere fiction.“
