Wonderfully written, a glimpse into faith, self-reliance and friendship, witty and thought provoking. Barnstorming pilot meets a messianic man who has misgivings about his purpose. His scripture is captured in a greasy spiral bound notebook and he changes the lives of all he meets.

A book that has positively marked my teenage years.

I used to read this book on a yearly basis and every time I read it, it related to some new area of my life. It's time I read it again for another illumination. This book is life-changing.

I liked the way this was constructed. It's not my typical type of book but it's nice to get out of my comfort zone every once in a while.
