Heretical authors, miracles, World War II 

This is the story of a merchant mariner's travels around the world and his faith in God's promise. Follow the author through the world's oceans during World War II as his ships are beset by everything that nature and enemy navies could throw against him. Included is his journey with the ill-fated convoy PQ-17 to resupply the besieged Soviet Union. Throughout voyages to Egypt, India, Russia and the Philippines in ships loaded with war materiel, God's commitment made to him in May 1942 held true: "You shall never be on a ship sunk by enemy action."

Rodman L. Dickie was born in Braintree, Massachusetts and lived for over 60 years in Arlington, Massachusetts before retiring with his wife Barbara to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire in 1986. While a resident of Arlington, a significant portion of his life was spent at sea as an officer on merchant freighters transporting cargos around the world. His deep faith in God earned him the nickname "Deacon." The miracles he witnessed during World War II and God's promise to him, "You shall never be on a ship sunk by enemy action," prompted him to write Saved by a Series of Miracles.
