A "story of redemption, faith, love, and total submission to the will of God" is definitely a great one. I like it that the author has maintained praiseworthy dialogue and a good sense of humor. I'm a fan of book touching on Christian-life aspects, and I'm adding this book in my to-read list. Congrats on the BOTD!

George is really taking a hard road through. Those who walked on that path hardly return. I hope there will be a plot twist.

George's double standard feature is what many young adults manifest in their lives today. I hope Beta will help him choose a better path that will impact his life positively. Looking forward to find out what happens next. I'm adding the book to my want to read shelf. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

I hope George makes this life-transforming decision to follow Christ and turn from his lifestyle. I'm very eager to read this book because of it's Christian content.

Not a book that interests me. Those who are religious and enjoy a fictional tale about submitting to God will love it. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

The message this book brings sounds inspiring. However, the book doesn't sound like my type of read so I'll pass on it.

No father will be happy to see any of his children wayward. Children should be closely observed to ascertain when they start defaulting. Am so inquisitive to know the book's outcome. Congrats on being the book of the day.

This story sounds like one of hope and redemption. George leads a terrible lifestyle before he eventually sees one of his closest friends turn his life around. I'm curious to see if George would really follow suit.

A fictitious story inspired by the true story of George Müller, a Christian evangelist. This is an interesting book because it emphasizes the faith in God and the importance of prayers.
Reading is a journey to the world.

:) The protagonist seems to be quite appealing. Through the background story and the history of George, it's certain that the book is a must-read. I look forward to reading it at the earliest.
