Book review — Life Stories

Book: Life StoriesAuthor: DJ CarswellPublisher: 10PublishingRetail Price: £5.99 (buy now)
Review by Sheila Stephen1 minute readJuly/August 2020, page 28

Life Stories

This is a well-written book containing short testimonies of people from many different backgrounds. Some of them are well known and some unknown, but all have a story to tell of God’s saving power in their lives. I found this book a bit more gritty than its predecessor Real Lives and just right for today’s culture when so much is exposed in the media about people’s lives and backgrounds. The chapter at the end is a straightforward presentation of the gospel message.
