The novel teaches us to accept the changes of life. Whenever we feel like drowning, we should think about the people around us we have. We have to always stay strong and do good to others

The story seems interesting. I am curious to know what will George do. Thanks for your brilliant review!This sounds like a very classic plot line in the Christian fiction genre. It sounds like the author did an excellent job of presenting a fresh story of a unique character though.

Books revolving around religion and God aren't my type, but this one looks interesting. Want to know more about the main protagonist's life.
Good review. And congrats to the author on BOTD.

Latest Review: Lullaby of Love: Selected Poems by Rebecca Winning

Post by Rebecca De Figueiredo »

This book is predominantly about faith and George Muller’s acceptance of it. It is also about how he was a rebellious teen, whose mother died, and whose father tried his best to guide him. Although he lived in the nineteenth century, the author, Tom Fay, hope that the message in the book will help guide us in the 21st century.

What a great story of redemption from darkness to light. Though a fiction based on reality. We all need to be redeemed for good before death comes knocking. Kudos to the author!

I find christian literature intriguing. I'm curious as to what will happen to George as he grows old, will he main his newly found faith or go back to his unruly ways? Great review by the way

Another aspect of this novel that I appreciated is the author's sense of humor. The tragedies in the book make the bits of humor in it very welcome.
-I agree. Anything can be digested with a bit of humor. I also like how it was George's friend, Beta, who was the wayward one who turned his life around first. An Intrigueing review. Thank you.

Thank you for a very well-written review.
I appreciate the information presented.
George Muller reminds me of a mischievous young version of me. However, I believe sometimes losing ourselves is how we find ourselves. I sampled a few pages and enjoyed the author's style of communication, it was difficult for me to stop reading. Perhaps I will pick this up again soon, I am curious to know what became of George and those part of his journey.
Congratulations to the author!

Thanks for this informative review 📝

The review highlights George Müller's tumultuous journey from waywardness to faith, exploring themes of redemption and the challenges of transformation. Tom Fay's seamless narration and lifelike dialogues enhance the reader's experience, though some may find the depiction of death unsettling. Overall, it is a compelling portrayal of spiritual awakening.

Congratulations on BOTD :clap:

Historically, people who had first lived their lives waywardly before they met Christ seemed to end up fulfilling great destiny and leaving an unforgettable ministry behind, Paul the Apostle is an example.
The books seems interesting. I have read some books like this and so, I am curious to know what George's life turned out to be. Thank you for the review.

This book is about someone finding their self and changing for their personal good. George seemed like he wouldn’t be able to change but once God came into his life that’s when he knew that it was a better way to walk in this life then when he was doing it “alone.”

A nice historical fiction book "Let The Children Come" by Tom Fay, which follows George, who wanted in his life was to party, smoke, and drink, but his father was not happy with it.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
