Interesting read. Had to skip past all the Christianity bs, so that's at least 1/3 of the book I just skimmed. Didn't really dig the whole Boy Scout portrayal. Can't tell if I like him more or less after reading this.
A fantastic read about who Rich Froning is, and why Rich Froning is who he is. Even though it is full of biblical references, the book does in such a way that it is not disturbing - and for the non-believer, it actually sparked an interest.
This being amongst my first 10 full reads, I loved it
