This book, ya'll. So where's the 5 billion star button again?
I don't think I have ever been so impacted by a single mortal man. I don't know in what way yet, but this book, and this man changed me.
From a reading perspective, it was very well written, and very accurate, as it is written by Peter
I loved this book! I would highly recommend it to all people! It blessed and encouraged me in a way I cannot explain, as it and the life of Peter Marshall have done to many people. A must read!

Marshall's wife. It was almost autobiographical, which I liked. All the stories were so amazing and inspiring, and many of them I was either wiping tears, or clutching my side laughing.
