I love reading missionary stories, because they are generally so encouraging and inspiring. The Life Story of Lester Sumrall is not exception to the rule. I also love a good redemption story, and Lester Sumrall certainly had one of those.

This book is easy to read. It does mention demon possession, prostitution (sex), and homosexuality. All are important things to discuss with one's children, but you could easily skip these parts if your kids are younger.

Overall, I think this book points to the nature of our sovereign and faithful God, which makes it a keeper in my opinion.

I've received this e-book for free in an exchange for my honest opinion.

What an absolutely amazing story it is! It is not only encouraging, but also very beneficial because it teaches about not only the ministry of Lester Sumrall, but also about character, power and providence of God. I would say it even teaches discernment not to gobble up all the teachings, but discern and test the heart and words of the preachers as Lester himself described how he started to preach without any compassion for the people at first.

It also provides a great encouragement and guidance to rely on God, and not on people alone for His providence and direction and to be obedient to His calling.

I've started reading it as a read-aloud to my family, and we all enjoy it! We enjoy hearing about God's power, work and His heart. It fired up the desire in our hearts for God to do His work in and through our lives.

This book is written so easy to read and in a very engaging way, that it's hard to put it down. Beautiful, honest and real!

The life story of Lester Sumrall

This is a great encouragement book to read. It is writing in the format easy to read and very spiritual. Lester Sumrall chooses to put God first above all and everything that he does. He puts all his trust into him. He obeys him. This in my opinion is better than reading just a testimonial, it challenged me as a reader to find a bond with him. This would be a great book to read if you are seeking God.
