Keith Green was a ministry icon, he gave selflessly of himself and many looked up to him and came to Christ because of him. This book is a look behind the ministry, into his head and heart. His struggles and growth are outlined in these pages and it was wonderful to see the reality that even the most devoted followers of Christ wax and wane at times. I was truly blessed to read this.

excerpts from keith green's diary, where you can see his spiritual struggle for so many years. scarily relatable.....also a bit deja vu considering how he was thinking just before he was killed in a plane crash. interesting read....if you're a keith green fan.

[Calum Mackenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic, provoking, teaching and reminding. The first 100 pages of journal entries are ok and intriguing but the remaining 185 pages of ‘talks’ from his concerts, that each start with a Bible verse, are brilliant.

KG implores us to obey God, look to Jesus, tell others and stay rooted in God.

This could be used as a devotional but I read it in a day.

Great read.

I read his diary entrances but skimmed through his devotions in the back of the book. Loved his transparency and heart! Ups and downs in his emotions, can so relate! Really vulnerable! Really inspired to pick up journaling myself again! 🖊

I loved the concert talks. His diary was a tad boring!
