My Father's Captivity

, available only at http://alyoung.com, is the culmination of 30 years of research and writing. The book started out to be the story of his father's experiences as a Japanese POW during World War II, but became the story of captivity itself, of endurance, and of the power to be healed available to all captives. The book's 320 pages feature a spellbinding narrative, 140 illustrations, and the text of 60 original documents that tell the story in the words of those who lived it on the home front as well as the battlefront. Al Young Studios, founded by Al and Nancy Young, also publishes

The Storybook Home Journal

(now in its tenth year) and art prints of original Book of Mormon and Biblical artworks by Al and Elspeth Young.
