I've read a lot of faith-based books, but there is something very special about this particular book. It does not have a morally superior tone, which is so often the case with Christian non-fiction writing. Additionally, the author comes across as incredibly humble and simply transmitting a story. It is this person's truth and it is what worked for him; not once did I feel that the author was trying to claim "this" is the way. It is one way. It is a way that worked very well for this person and is indeed interesting and deserving of being more widely known.
Granted, there were some things towards the end of the book that really stretched my belief. I came close to suspending it entirely because they do not, at all, fit in what I personally am able to conceive of from my own experiences. These things felt very distant and were difficult for me to deal with, but I still felt compelled to finish reading the book and to at least acknowledge Kopelson's account of his experiences, even if I struggle to believe such things possible. I think that shows the importance of this book, because although it deals with things that are considered on the "fringes" of our hyper-science-oriented modern society, there is a definite grain of truth to it. This book resonated very deeply for me and the fact I could accept that although some things are beyond my ability to grasp, I am willing to acknowledge the author's experiences as he describes them.
That said, there were many instances of situations mentioned in this book that I recognize both from my own spiritual development and experiences as well as from my work as a transformational life coach. This book offers a lot of food for thought and definitely provides a very different outlook on the idea of putting one's whole self into the work in order for truly amazing things to be able to occur. The book is replete with simple truths and deeply moving anecdotes and I highly recommend this for all Christians as well as those curious about the faith and wishing to gain a greater understanding of what serving the Lord, fully and with one's whole self, can look like.

I was fascinated by this book. I have never had the kind of faith that the author has and, quite frankly, I'm a little envious. I enjoyed reading about how he travelled around Alaska with little or no money and changed lives along the way. Whenever he needed something, it was provided and his story is an interesting read. It is well written which is a bonus as it makes it easier to read. I found myself wondering how the people in the stories functioned after the author had left them. Perhaps that could be a sequel.
