I found this book both deeply inspiring and deeply disturbing. The problem with writing biographies of men who have done great things for Christ is that it's easy to slip into almost a cult mindset, praising all the great and grand and wonderful things the person has done, and it begins to read almost like an ideology or leader-worship. There were several moments in this book where I felt it fell too deep into the rut of flattery.
And yet! Those moments aside, it was an inspiring book. That Dawson Trotman did great things for God, nobody can deny, especially not somebody like me, who has been blessed many times by the Navigator materials and mindset. And his single-minded commitment to Christ and to His kingdom both encourages and shames me. If there is one thing I want to grow and develop in my own life this year, it is the same loving dedication to evangelism that he had.

Dawson's devotion and commitment to spreading the Gospel and making disciples is inspiring.
