A fast read. I was aware of Ray Comforts ministry "The Way of the Master" DVD's, but I knew very little about the man. His story is filled with humor, and also very challenging, as he gives the reader much to ponder!

Great book. They have wonderful gospel tracts, order some and pass them out… if you get the chance to take Way of the Master training, please do so, it is encouraging, scary and fun… www.911Christ.com

Captivating content

Riveting accounts and encounters of the God kind. I'm really impressed at much of the jaw-dropping stories in here. Would gift this to both believers and seekers of Truth (the missing link in many of our lives).

sometimes the writing style was a bit rough but I was amazed and inspired by how the Lord used and continues to use Ray comfort and his ministry. I have several more of his books checked out from the library that I plan to read.

This is a book well worth reading and learning from. He encapsulates what must be done as a follower of Jesus Christ.

A very intriguing and inspiring Christian autobiography. Hard to put down when you start, and you want to read it again.

I started this late at night till three in the morning and then the next morning woke up to finish it. For those of you who know the evangelist Ray Comfort, this autobiography is quite encouraging and will stir the readers to be more zealous to evangelize with the model that Ray Comfort is. He tells about his childhood love for surfing, being "successful" at an early age and finally find Jesus in his native country of New Zealand. His stories of his early days of serving God was enjoyable for me to read, as it reminds that just because someone begin originally serving the LORD in one ministry capacity does not necessarily always mean that person's ministry will still be the same in the future. From drug rehab ministry to being the assistant to a pastor, the Lord eventually moved him to the direction of open air preaching. Eventually he would make his way to Southern California with a greater ministry. The majority of the first half of the book seem to focus on his ministry at MacArthur park back in the wild heydays before LAPD cleaned it up and open a substation there. I did not even know until I was half way through the books that he had some pictures from MacArthur Park and it was so sad reading the tragedy of people's sin with drugs, violence, etc. I've enjoyed reading about Ray Comfort's meeting with Kirk Cameron and all his other adventures. Good biography to read before you go out with your church to evangelize!

If you enjoy autobiographies - especially those that are written by Christians who are living lives that the Bible commands us to live, then you'll enjoy this quick read by Ray Comfort.

It shares his testimony from his days back in New Zealand when he "believed" in God, to the surfing trip he was on when his friend sat up all night answering questions from him. With details of his conversion, first publishing efforts and eventual move to Los Angeles, complete with an account of his time Open Air preaching and witnessing in MacArthur Park.

An encouragement for those who realize the need for more laborers in the "harvest" to "seek and save that which was lost" and "testify to the truth"

This is a great book. Ray Comfort is a trip, in a good way. I was surprised to read of his encounter with a demon-possessed person, and the authority he exercised over it. It's rare to see a great apologist/intellectual handle themselves during a demonic encounter like Ray did. Usually apologists and intellectuals of Ray's caliber are only efficient with expounding doctrine, but not Ray. Yes, he can expound scripture with the best of them, but he also knows how to bind demons too, and send them straight to hell in Jesus name! He's a bold brother. I highly recommend his new DVD too, "EvolutionvsGod". He utterly destroys the faith of atheists in his new dvd.

A solid biography of itinerant evangelist, Ray Comfort, from his conversion in New Zealand to his establishment of Living Waters Ministry in Southern California. Plenty of great stories about preaching on the streets of Los Angeles. Mr. Comfort is a bold witness!

[Tim · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good read. I was a bit bothered by Comfort's reliance on feelings and impressions and emotions to determine God's particular will in any given question, but that aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the book! His humor is quite fun too!

Probably the fastest book I ever read... I couldn't put it down.

Very uplifting testimony of Ray's own life!

[Phil Sessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is Ray's story! I felt like the was Hell's Best Kept Secret with inner city clothes on. A must read for all, especially those in urban ministry.

Ray pulls back the veil of his life to reveal how the Lord led him to begin one of the most impacting ministries of our day.
