5.0 out of 5 stars fictionalized version of a how-to book on personal power
Probably one of the best books to describe how to attain personal power and gifts. It was written as a prequel to Magnificent Obsession, which refers often to the journal kept by Dr. Hudson, a journal which dramatically changed the life of Bobby Merrill.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a diary.
What can you expect from a diary -- a plot? I don't care. I've always loved Loyd Douglas because his social approach to the Christian faith intriques me. What if each one of us took one piece of the Sermon on the Mount and tried to live it? His ideas are just that simple and therefore just that more challenging.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a diary., March 2, 2006
What can you expect from a diary -- a plot? I don't care. I've always loved Loyd Douglas because his social approach to the Christian faith intriques me. What if each one of us took one piece of the Sermon on the Mount and tried to live it? His ideas are just that simple and therefore just that more challenging.

There is an interesting entry in the diary where he is discussing the "patriotic" fever before WW 1. It is so appropriate. I could hear the voices that I've heard for three years now about the war in Iraq. Some things never change.

But Douglas was a person with a vision of living the Christian faith.
