blessingo's review against another edition
I paused this to finish David Jeremiah's "Agents of Babylon" for, like, the third time.

I had high expectations for this book as I’d been recommended it by a few people.
The story is certainly incredibly inspiring and shows a great move of God’s work.
I felt like I didn’t quite click with the narrator though and the way he did the different voices of characters which detracted a bit for me. There was also a fair amount of anti-gay speech (i.e. homosexuality is the work of the devil) which may have been partly down to the time it was written but was just very uncomfortable for me to read.
But ignoring those things, it was an inspiring read of a man stepping out in faith even when it felt completely impossible and making a huge difference.

Um dos livros mais emocionantes que já li, reflete uma vida de total entrega e confiança em Deus, e me fez querer ter o mesmo relacionamento com Ele e até mais profundo. David Wilkerson também demonstra um amor sem preconceitos ou receios ante jovens que muito sofreram na vida e nunca conheceram o verdadeiro amor de um Pai, e cuja sociedade os marginaliza e discrimina. O livro mostra que é possível fazer a diferença na vida de uma pessoa e mudar a vida dela para melhor.
