Ken Harrison, an ex-policeman in one of LAs worst areas, uses his
experiences to illustrate and make real his relationship to God. Ken
tells stories of encounters that affected him deeply and relates them
to his experience of God.
The encounter I
found most moving was Ken’s story of holding a dying girl in his
arms. She was on her way to her brother who had suffered a motorcycle
accident and was dying in the hospital. She was a passenger another
motorcycle that was crushed under a car. She was thrown off and
killed. This is a sad, but beautiful story and leads Ken to a
discussion of death and evil.
The stories make
this an easy book to read. It is also filled with discussions
designed to give men an understanding of what it means to be the kind
of man God intended you to be. In this day when men are being put
down for being men, I think this is an excellent book. The stories
and discussions illustrate how men can come closer to expressing the
ideals of the Christian men living as God would like them to live.
I received this book
from Penguin Random House for this review.
