I didn't end up reading the whole book. I love the story of Jim and the missionaries with him trying to reach a dangerous people who had no idea who Jesus was. Their faith and determination are inspiring. But there was one sermon I quit because I just couldn't agree with his theological position and then the next sermon it was the same thing. I think I would just rather not dig that deeply and just enjoy their passion for the lost!
