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

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful and Inspiring Story, January 22, 2007

By	Sue Schmitt (Topanga, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
