Book Reviews by Readers

Dan Britton, ‘Fellowship of Christian Athletes’, Chief Field Officer, USA says of ‘The Calvary Road’: ‘In 2008 we got invited to Operation Mobilization all staff meeting in Germany. At that meeting, I had a chance to see George Verwer, founder of OM, and actually a 40-year-friend of our family. As I spent time with George during a break, he leaned over and said, “Hey, have you gotten any books off the book ministry? And there were many tables that were set up. We walked over and I said, “George, what’s the one book that I should read?” And he picked up ‘The Calvary Road’ and he said, “This book will transform your life. We make every staff person read it when they come on staff with Operation Mobilization.” On the way home from Germany, I read the book. I think I underlined every sentence. I think I “doggy- eared” every single page. And I said, “We’re going to make every FCA staff person, before they come on staff, read ‘The Calvary Road’ because we wanted to increase their spiritual leadership and understand the concepts and the principles that were laid out in ‘The Calvary Road’. It has been a game-changer’

Messiology – C. writes, ‘I think that it is the BEST book on Christian ministry that I have ever read. It is your masterpiece. I couldn’t put it down. It was the spirit of the book that impressed me: humility, kindness, forgiveness, and above all, a lack of criticism. Criticism crushes the spirit; praise uplifts the spirit. God works in mysterious ways His wonders to behold’.
