I’m in a book club and this book was chosen to read in July one month I had missed - so I had no idea what to expect with this book.
I listened to it and it was just so good. I think it’s an excellent reminder that part of our job as a christian is to pray and be faithful and it is the Lord who works in the heart of mankind.
I didn’t love listening to it because the narrator is kind of monotone but overall, I enjoyed learning what God did has done in the lives of so many teens all because one man said yes.
