It is often noted that people come closest to God when faced with their own mortality. No one has more experience with this than members of the military during active duty.
While he was serving in Vietnam, author Joel Russell decided there was little or no chance he would make it out of the country alive. He made a deal with God: let him survive Vietnam, and Russell would devote his life to him. In his 2000 book 'The Book of Joel: Book II' (published by iUniverse) Russell fulfills that vow.
