I am thoroughly enjoying this third installment. Just when I think I have got it figured out, another twist!

I'm a bit disappointed as I thought I was going to read and study more about the history of the Mennonite sojourn to Asia in search of religious freedoms. I should have paid attention to the title more. It is clearly a memoir. The memoir provides a lot of what I was hoping to learn, but a lot of personal blather. It is interesting enough and written well so I will finish and look for another historical record.

I am loving this book by Charlie Bird, he does a wonderful job at explaining his emotions, thoughts, and how he deals with his doubts and pains. I am halfway through and he has altered my perceptions of the LGBT community considerably. I began this read expecting to... Well... Pity him but I find myself marveling at his strength and commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and wishing and hoping I can be as Charlie.
