review 1: I loved the idea of this book and I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't. It was just so poorly written. Books need structure, some semblance of order. This book had none. There was no rhyme or reason to its construction. The author jumped around from story to story and nothing felt connected. My heart went out to him and all he and his family suffered. What happened in Cambodia in the 70s and 80s was a great tragedy, but there are much better memoirs out there (try "When Broken Glass Floats").
review 2: The writing is a little rough, but the story is compelling. Christianity was nearly wiped out in Cambodia during the mid to late 70's, but God reserved a few godly men who would help rebuild the church one day in the future. Do not be mislead though. ... moreThe church still suffers tremendously in Cambodia in 2012. The enemy has stirred up dissension among believers. Most everyone distrusts someone. Culture is allowed to get in the way of the Gospel. Missionaries are ineffective in some parts due to the lack of willingness to turn the church over to the locals quickly. Many have forgotten that it is Christ who builds his church. Jealousy reigns. Much prayer is needed here. less
