" This book really made me think about my devotion to my faith and what I should be doing to be a member missionary. This man risks his life to take Bibles to people behind the Iron Curtain and I feel like I can't even risk getting out of my comfort zone. It is a great inspiring book. "

" i've often wondered about autobiography vs biography... what makes a person decide to let someone write their life story, or what makes them decide to take the time to write it themselves. this is one case in which i which the author had let someone else do the writing. the story is full of amazing faith situations and answered prayers and excitement. but it is not written that way. a good story, but poorly told. "
