5.0 out of 5 stars A great non-fiction book that reads like a novel., May 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountain of the Lion: The Great Revival in Sierra Leone, West Africa (Paperback)

This book provides more information and insight on the daily life and culture of the people of Sierra Leone than anything else in print. Its descriptions of the terrain, climate, economy, and politics give such a life to the narrative that the reader is absorbed to the degree that it is hard to put the book down until the last page has been read. I was left wishing that the author had written more. It reads like a historical novel. It is both entertaining and educational. It is exciting and it is tragic, but most of all it is inspirational. It speaks of sacrifice and faith that result in an amazing story in which thousands of lives are changed for the better as they come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sierra Leone:The worlds poorest nation in a great revival., April 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mountain of the Lion: The Great Revival in Sierra Leone, West Africa (Paperback)

God sent the O'keefes into the poorest nation in the world, torn with strife and political corruption. In spite of all the adversity, they established 53 churches. A moving, touching true story of how God used these unselfish missionaries for twenty-four years in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
