review 1: I bought this book after hearing the author reviewed on a radio show, and it was well worth it. He has a fascinating story, from the escape from Iran, his struggles to fit in here in America, and his life after he found Jesus. What I liked best about the book was his openness about mistakes he made: after becoming a Christian he still had a lot of rough edges: and not just the cliche ones of cursing and smoking or whatever. He is open about the kinds of rough edges we Christians are often blind to: legalism, impatience, intolerance, ungraciousness. Even when choosing to be baptized, he reflects that the way he did it was very immature. A quick read, but there's a lot to learn from the deep wisdom and inspiring life of this remarkable man.
review 2: After hearin... moreg David Nasser speak before a Glory Revealed/Third Day concert, I decided to buy this book. He talked about his family's escape from Iran, their new life in America, and how he came to be a Christian. The only problem is, the book was the exact same as what he talked about. Obviously the book had more details and fleshed the stories out more, but as I read, I thought, "Man, this sounds so familiar."That said, I really enjoyed this book. It was a really easy read, and David's story is really amazing. less
