Customer Reviews

A First Draft Sorely in Need of Editing1
This is not nearly the quality of "The Boy Who Cried Abba" or of Manning's non-fiction work. The story has promise but appears to be a first draft in sorely need of editing. The story jumps from event to event with little connection or character development. Situations pop-up full-grown with no warning. The protagonist grows up in a couple paragraphs, becomes a famous artists in a sentence or two, falls in love and loses her in a few pages, goes blind in a couple sentences yet can read a telegram. Where "The Boy Who Cried Abba" was a fantasy well told, this just doesn't make much sense.

What I've been hungry for!5
A beautiful story! Brennan gives us a tale of a young man who grows up close to Jesus, drifts away into the hell only this world can provide, and the joyful coming back to faith. Awesome book!
