This little book took me by surprise! When I first read it, my conscience was pricked on more than several pages. Not only are these stories penetrating, but they take you to situations that we all experience, and so often fail to see how all of life is a test of our character. Rich in practical truths, this collection of short stories reminds us that God does not always work as we expect, and He will overrule all for the best. |

Far from home, he finds himself in Africa, wasted and hopeless, until...well, of course you will have to read the book. But the main beauty of the story is that it is based on Psalm 32. Each chapter teaches and important spiritual and moral principle. |
