By asking, “Are you willing to be open to God’s will for your life?” Richard took me out of my comfort zone just as he was taken out of his. And for this, it is well worth the read.
The book shines the most through his personal experiences and the stories he tells of the real people he encountered in the poorest countries of the world. The book, however, slows down in the middle because, although at times astounding, he’s a little too heavy on the statistics for my liking. He also had a tendency to be a little repetitive.
Apart from that the book is well worth reading and covers some important issues in today’s world.
I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

“Are you willing to be open to God’s will for your life?”
Great topic.

Sounds like the book is well worth the read. Our personal relationship with the Lord is all that matters in the end. Thanks for the review.
I read this too...I loved his testimony!
I love reading about real people and how they overcome stuff...will have to check this book out.
Rita, welcome to my blog. Our personal relationship with our Lord matters so much, but the author of this book challenges us to also care for the "orphans and widows" as a sign of that relationship. It's very well done.
Missie, welcome. Yes, his personal experience is the best part of the whole book.
Sarah, it's worth it :) The book also won an award as well.
Lynda,
Thanks for sharing about this book. I almost bought it the other day, but I wasn't sure.
I'll check it out a little further!
Blessings to you,
Melanie
