Kee always tells the best stories!
Having been a member of St.Thomas Church, this was especially interesting! Seeing if I could recognize the characters who were disguised with different names! Yes to some, no to others. Kee shows and shares his heart and faith, and reminds us all of the blessing that is the love of Jesus Christ!

More stories from an Episcopalian priest. While I have some theological differences, I was encouraged by the focus of Jesus’s love motivating us to love God and love others. This should be our core tenet as Christ followers and it was good to be reminded of that. I also enjoyed the diving board analogy of faith.
JoJo is probably one of the most Christlike people I’ve encountered in a memoir. I was glad this sequel told me more about his story. I enjoyed this one as much as Jabbok. ❤️
