I was going through my grandfather’s bookshelf and came across this one. He was involved in the same circles as the author, so this was right up his alley.

This book hits different in 2026 when the world feels much spiritually darker than it was in 1989. It’s good to be reminded of what life can be like when you surrender it to Christ. Each chapter is a lesson and a memory.

I’d love a “where are they now” for the Johnson family.
