Developed soon after World War II, the de Havilland Beaver has become one of the most successful and long-lived designs in aviation history. The Beaver was conceived as a “half-ton flying pickup truck” capable of setting down on land, water, and snow. Since its conception the Beaver has been adopted worldwide, becoming the floatplane of choice for island-hopping along the Pacific Northwest, flying into the Arctic, transporting missionaries and doctors into remote spots in Africa, and serving as a support aircraft in Antarctic expeditions. The Beaver also became “the generals’ Jeep” during the Korean War — and the generals’ favorite transport to fishing spots in peacetime.

Elizabeth Abbott Green has written a compelling narrative of the life of a family, lived well but not without struggle...a life that spans the last half of the 20th Century and into the Millenium, a life of equal parts of joy, heartache...and faith. Even though the rigors of a military life impose unique requirements on the family...the added pressures of a foreign war, extended absence from the family unit by the military member, unexpected and frequent family moves and changes of schools...our family seemed to adapt well, and, for a time, to thrive. The catalyst for the book, "Seeds of Destruction," was a major incident that almost took the life of our second son Greg. The book should be interesting to many audiences: young military families trying to cope with the almost constant overseas demands placed on them in today’s military; people of all ages who love travel and are willing and able to accept the challenge; and Christians everywhere who are interested in Bible prophecy. Seeds of Destruction is the work of a lifetime, not only of the entire family who lived it, but especially a work of total commitment for over 30 years by the author, and the focused study of Christianity and the signs of our times. Elizabeth Abbott Green’s analysis of the true path to God’s will for us is exemplary, and I believe it should be read by all who feel that much of today’s world is taking us in the opposite direction.
