Reviews

[Abigail G · Rating 4 out of 5]

This author has the ability to take the complex mysteries of the Christian life and put them into words that even young people can understand and enjoy. The story is the correspondences of an uncle to his young adult nephew who recently became a believer. I would suggest this book to any believer no matter their age, for even those who have experienced most of what this story tells can be encouraged by reading someone's personal experience.

Changed my perspective on suffering in the Christian life.

I liked the way the book was written but I found some of the chapters a bit to follow. It’s a no holds barred look at what to expect as a Christian. A very interesting book.
