I love this audio book. I have bought 3 different books for Christmas presents. It is a great example of how God will work through difficult situations.
Oliver Twist has nothing on this guy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Jim Daly's book is not just inspirational. It's important because it is real. It is as real as the chipped linoleum floor of a crummy kitchen in a lousy apartment building. And that's about as good as his future looks. How he overcomes betrayals, heart aches, deaths, and a slew of disappointments is amazing. It is THE amazing grace in the end that sends this story into a realm that couldn't just happen without some divine help. Focus on the Family is lucky to have this guy. He's the real deal. He's the genuine article, not fake, not flattering, not unfamiliar with real struggle. He knows how important a family is because he didn't have it. This would be a great movie; uplifting and meaningful...something movies have not been in a long time....and it's so gritty even Focus on the Family could not handle it. This book took courage and bravery to write. Read it because it will impart these traits to you.
Balancing Faith, Family and the Future

Jim Daly and Bob DeMoss have combined their gifts to produce an excellent book for married couples and parents. Well-written and positive, the book constantly points us to enduring values --- and thus away from the stress and strain that so often sidetrack us. How do you see past the daily grind? The answer is a change of focus: Daly shows us what we ought to be thinking about, looking at, and considering as we raise children, manage a career, and forge a family. A great wedding gift --- helps new couples think about these issues on a pre-need basis. An excellent anniversary present --- shows couples how to unite around common goals and common ground. Well-written, encouraging and always realistic. A hope-filled book that lights your pathway to the family God wants you to be!

A Message of Hope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This was an excellent book. The author shares so much of his own personal life - much of which was heartbreaking. But he also shares how he was able to rise above his past to become the man God wanted him to be. This book will give you hope that you, too, can rise above your own past and have a fulfilling, life of purpose. It was definitely worth reading. I'm putting a copy in my church library to share it with others.
So much more....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is so much more than an autobiography of a man with a troubled childhood who becomes successful. It is instructions on how to uncover and understand God's presence in your life from your first memory of suffering as a child to your present crisis. Never has a book, so easy to read, helped me to discover and see God's grace and redemption play out in my life as a person, husband and father.
