As a Christian and a minister, I appreciate his commitment to this historical work and look forward to the release of this next book in the series.-Kim Clement, Author, Call Me Crazy, but I?m Hearing God's VoiceIn this volume, Roberts again gives honor where it is due, yet remains true to history to include their failures and shortcomings. I appreciate that he never does so in a dishonorable way, but instead uses the opportunity to instruct us now not to repeat the same mistakes. That is the way of the kingdom.

Their stories, woven together, paint an awesome picture of the truth that the Holy Spirit has done a mighty work, and is still working today, to reach a lost and dying world with the Good News of the Gospel. The message is the same-the vessel and the method may be different-but it is the same Holy Spirit. May you be challenged and stirred to look forward with expectatio
