From North Sound Radio April 2008

Six stories about six men - all very different with different life - experiences but with one thing in common. They all lived their lives without reference to God. Fortunately that didn't affect the fact that God knew each one of them (just as he knows you) and was preparing to intervene in their lives - as he may intervene in your life, especially if you dare to read the book. The one thing these men had in common was that they all met God for themselves - in a variety of situations. Lincoln's writing is crisp and contemporary, and every story is unique showing how each individual man learned to face up to his own failings and weakness and trust in God. The consequences make compelling reading.
