I found this a very engaging book, written with humour and with faith. It interweaves some of the characters and stories, but each story can be read on its own and there is a short reflection at the end of each one. I think this would make a lovely gift for those who have recently come to Christianity or for who is a longstanding committed Christian. What I enjoyed most was Mike's way of fleshing out the lives of the characters, flaws and all, bringing a humanity to historical doctrine.
