I loved this book. What an honest and compelling auto-biography on how his life changed when he came to embrace Christ and live his passion. The way he takes you step by step through coming to believe. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

After reading some "excerpts" in [book: Rapture Ready], I just had to see how badly composed this book really was.
It didn't disappoint. I didn't read the whole thing but I read probably 40 pages here and there. Not only was the writing style atrocious and the commentary rambling and inane, the book also suffered from typos, poor grammar and bad organization. The criticism raised in Daniel Radosh's Rapture Ready that christians are willing to accept sub-par products if the contain enough references to Jesus is certainly right on in regards to this book.
Thats not even to start on Stephen Baldwin's actual craziness. I think the part on "worshiping idols" was particularly egregious. Did you know loving your newborn baby might send you to hell?
right. I think I may destroy my copy of the Usual Suspects on principle. There is only one thing this book could possible leave me thankful for: I didn't actually spend 24 dollars for it--I got my copy from the library and it will be promptly returned.

This book changed the way I looked at a few things, and renewed my excitement for Christ.
