Review:

"This book is a combination of an enjoyable novel and a believable biography—like an excerpt from a Bible character's life. But above all, it's a testimony. And, like every testimony that glorifies Jesus Christ, there is an overcoming power in it."
-- JACK W. HAYFORD, President, International Church of the Foursquare Gospel

"Marilee's heartbreakingly beautiful, honest account of the ministry and marriage of her parents is a definite must for Christians at all stages of pilgrimage."
-- DALE EVANS ROGERS

"We are used to frank biographies, especially of film stars and entertainers, but this book sets a new record for the evangelical world. The daughter who chronicles this heartbreaking story clearly loves—yes adores—her father. It is a great literary coup."
-- RUSSELL T. HITT, Author of Jungle Pilo
