Congrats on BOTD!
The touching and inspirational tale of a man who changed his life by putting his faith in God may be found in "Let the Children Come" by Tom Fay. I would like to learn more about George Müller and his incredible work with orphans.

Memoirs, autobiographies, and books like them are not my favorite. I am glad that George was shaken up by what his friend was doing, though. Books like this seem to imply that a transition to being a Christ-follower is easy, and it is not. Congratulations on BOTD!

I like how the characters' conversations show their empathy, confusion, embarrassment, and other qualities that make them lifelike. This is a good review that explains the book well.

Thanks for the great review. I like the plot of this story. Some teenagers have a hard time transitioning into young adulthood, where so many changes are taking place. Muller's story aptly captures this period in most young adult's life. I'd definitely make it a point to read the book and find out whether Muller changed his wayward ways after coming across faith.
