A powerful story of a life reborn

I came across this book while searching for George Barna. The fact that there was only one very negative review was intriguing - George Barna's stuff is so solid and foundational, he wouldn't put his name with rubbish. The preview sounded good, so I bought it... and listened to it all before writing this.

The Reader is easy to listen to.
The story is well told and hooked me in from the start.
the Format is Good, with a Transformation Principle at the end of each chapter.
The Content is Strong, and Applicable.
This is an illustration of the resurrection power of Jesus to bring a broken, selfish man back to 'Life in abundance'. Chapter 14 alone is worth buying the book for.

Well done Bill Dallas, thanks for sharing your scars, I have some Youth including my son who I'm going to offer this book to. And I'm going to preach portions of this story this coming year.
And George Barna, when are we going to see some of your books on Audible?

Well worth the listen

A straightforward true story of the power of the Gospel to transform someone's life and give them what they are really seeking. Bill Dallas has a great blunt no nonsense fast moving story telling method that is very enjoyable to listen to.
