This book is a testimony of Randy Clark and his journey with God, the lessons that he had learnt along the way, and how God used him in the Toronto Blessing. I am greatly encouraged in reading this because it shows the reality of the journey that God takes us through, the sacrifices that we have to make, the surrender of our lives to God, and how God uses us to forward His purposes and plans. As Randy mentioned that he is a nobody, and why would God want to use him? But the very fact that he is a nobody, but is willing to give up what he has to be an instrument in God's hands, that God works through him. Randy also talks about the difficult times when he divorced his first wife, the difficulty he had to go through with the churches he was at, but also showed the grace of God coming through for him. It is often not easy to serve God because of what we need to give up in our lives and obey God. It is also a sacrifice of our free will so that we take God's will upon us, and that was what Randy did as he shared through this book. Read it and be inspired that you too can be used of God... if only...

Many preachers write books these days. Some of them contain biographical data like this book. There are very few that are willing to share the hard things in life they went through to get to the place they are today. Randy Clark could have just written about the great things that God has been doing through his life as so many others have. However Clark shares the tough times that he went through not just the amazing stories of what it was like to see God move through him in such a mighty way. I am grateful for this because it gives hope to those of us that have been through similar difficulties. Because of Clark's humility and willingness to share the "dark night" of his soul, we get one of the most beautiful pictures of God's goodness and redemptive power in revival that I have ever read.
