Abandoned by his mother in a St. Petersburg dumpster when he was only three days old, Alex Krutov should not have survived. But God had something else in mind. Raised in the harsh Russian orphanage system, Alex's life was one of hopelessness and despair until the arrival of Christian missionaries from the West when the Soviet Union collapsed. Infinitely More is the inspiring true story of a young man who would not give up, and the God who relentlessly pursued him. Jesus said, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." This is the story of God coming to Alex, and the hope He offers to all of us. Alex Krutov is the co-founder of The Harbor, a ministry to emancipated orphans in Russia. A graduate of Franklin University in Ohio, he divides his time between the United States and Russia.

I read this book in two sessions - flying to and from Colorado Springs. I suspect that even if I had read it at home, it wouldn't have been a book I read a little bit at a time, as it drew me in completely. It blends a very interesting behind-the-scenes look at the Russian orphanage system and culture with an inspiring tale of Christians who actually live out the Gospel of doing for others in the name of Christ. To me, this means that believers and non-believers alike will find the story engaging, informative, and uplifting.
There is a hint of similarity to The Blind Side, although there is never a whiff of any ulterior motive in the actions of the people who are trying to help a young man in desperate need, and Alex was always driven to achieve something better than what life handed him. I thoroughly enjoyed, and highly recommend this book.

Abandonment and abuse can be an excuse or a catalyst. In Infinitely More, Alex openly shares how they were a catalyst for great accomplishments of God's work in his life. The fact that his story is written from his perspective, as opposed to an observer's, is a treasure that should be taken to heart by every reader who has someone in his/her life who has been abandoned and survived. Alex walks the reader through his life, starting with going straight from the hospital crib to the trash all the way through to being a servant leader to others for whom he has a unique understanding. His story of triumph is a shining example of not wasting pain. This book inspires the reader to grasp all that God has planned for him/her, not just in spite of life's circumstances, but because of them. Alex chose Christ, thereby choosing to be abandoned no more.

Simply amazing. I was pulled all the way through it. I was glad I was alone as I finished it, because I was crying. Truth may be stranger than fiction, but it is also more amazing than fiction!
