Over a decade ago, I travelled with my wife and kids to churches around the country for around 100,000 miles. So, it was somewhat interesting to read Arnold Pent's account of their travels. His writing style is matter-of-fact with quite a bit of dry humor thrown in. For me, the book was interesting for the first several chapters, and then after that, not so much. The context this family ministered in is worlds away from where we live today in America. Also, even during the time they did minister, they were so much different than most American families. I wonder if the people who would be most interested in this book are those who knew the family or who have never travelled like that before.
The standout benefit of the book is reading how well they knew the Bible. I think it would encourage most of us that there is more we can do in this way.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
