A Bit Disappointing, but okay.,
By Kat Porcher "Kat" (Columbus, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Working Miracles: The Incredible Story of Aimee Semple McPherson (Amazing Stories) (Amazing Stories) (Paperback)
The book seemed to dismiss the incredible way God used this woman's gift of healing, majoring mostly on her failures as a human being. We are ALL flawed, but few are willing to give their entire life to God. Yes, she was human, but a true blessing to thousands and thousands of people in need. After reading the book I felt sad rather than inspired or uplifted.
