Lisa and John Bentley went to China to build an orphanage in a village near Beijing. Soon after their arrival, a 6-week-old baby boy, with burns on over 70% of his body, was found in a field and brought to them. This is just the beginning of Levi's story. Saving Levi brings together the stories of believers and non-believers alike whom God used to save the life of this little boy and help him heal. Levi's story has already united people around the world through E-mail, prayer, and word of mouth. This is a book about the value of life and a loving God who uses whomever He pleases to accomplish His will.

Review
"I read Saving Levi in one sitting on an airplane flight between California and New York. The book was so compelling, I couldn't put it down. Lisa Bentley's gritty determination and maternal love will be inspiring to all readers. To call her story a 'good' one is a vast understatement. It's nothing short of remarkable." --Hope Edelman, Motherless Daughters, New York Times best-selling author "An extraordinary tale of compassion and hope, and of God's love at work amid the tumultuous change of modern China." --Rob Gifford, former Beijing correspondent, NPR -- Book Review
About the Author
Lisa Misraje Bentley is an author and speaker. She was born in Los Angeles to a Sephardic Jewish father and a Scandinavian Lutheran mother. Her parents' marriage didn't last long, and Lisa grew up trying to balance life between her mother's world in West Los Angeles and her father's world in the Hollywood Hills. Growing up, she would say that she was half Jewish and half Christian. One day she realized that she could no longer be "half" of either and at the age of fourteen gave her heart to Jesus. But Lisa never lost her love for the Jewish people.
She lives outside Beijing, China, with her husband, John, their six children (two of whom are adopted from China), and their pets-a cowardly dog named Wilson and an albino frog, Gary.

A Beautiful and Inspiring Story,
By
This review is from: Saving Levi: Left to Die . . . Destined to Live (Focus on the Family) (Paperback)
I think I held my breath the entire time I was reading this book. I couldn't put it down. It is beautifully written with glimpes into the daily life of China. To me, this book is less about one religion than the multi-faith compassion of many people that connected with Lisa Misraje-Bentley and Levi during this journey. You will find this woman an inspiration and a heroine. The next time you think of reasons why something can't be done...think about the obstacles she tackled without focusing on the possibility of failure.
