Will you take a trip with me, a long miraculous journey? IF starts with God choosing a normal guy from normal beginnings, and enabling that guy to make lots of hit records; star in major movies; host highly rated TV shows and specials; hobnob with kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers; father four beautiful daughters with his beautiful wife, Shirley, and share sixty-five years of marriage, resulting in sixteen grandkids and eleven greats (and counting); have exciting business successes like owning a professional basketball team and a TV station; starting worldwide humanitarian organizations; and more, lots more. But wait! Along the way, God taught this “normal guy” some supernatural facts and lessons that can be of supernatural benefit to you! IF you’re wondering—I was that guy, of course, and while you may or not know my “celebrity” and public achievements, hardly anybody but my closest friends and family know of the hardships, disappointments, and tragedies we’ve experienced. But God has proved Himself real to us and helped us survive—and thrive—through it all! He has showed us simple, basic truths we all desperately need. And they can make an eternal, equally miraculous difference in your journey. IF… IF… IF… Interested? I hope you are. I want to share my journey with you.
This book is so worth reading! It is a biography that is about Pat Boone, but most of all, it's a book about God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit. It's apologetics, theology, and a compassionate heart. Whether you are a Christian or not, I hope you do read this. As a Christian, it challenged me mightily, especially toward the end. It went right along with what the Lord has been speaking to me about lately.
A very creative mix of Biography and Theology. A personal letter from a 50's era "heartthrob" written from the heart! ...and right to the reader. I've never experienced a book quite like this one - and I think that's exactly what Pat intended. It felt like a one to one conversation. This is way outside-the-box of your normal 'religious' works.
This is pretty straightforward. Pat Boone writes about God; it is as simple as that. You either believe or you don't believe or you have questions. Or, you wonder. If gets you thinking and wanting to ask questions. After finishing the book, I will let the book sit so that i can think about the subject and then reread it again.
Pat Boone has written a Christian book dealing with Jesus & His love for us. He has included personal stories of his experiences with Jesus & faith. Very inspiring.
