"You get a new feeling for the person of Joshua. I have read most of Joesph Girzone's books. They are all a great joy, after reading some of the other stuff that is out there." — Donald (5 out of 5 stars)

" Not anyway as good as the first ones. Characters were too perfect as people. All bad things were made "good" so it was too unbelievable. "
" I loved finding out about Joshua as a child. "
" It seemed like this book had the potential to be incredibly inspiring, but it feel flat. The story and characters seems one-dimensional and anti-climatic. And at times trite. I liked that it was an overall uplifting book. "
