King Here: Never Too Old, Too Rich or Too Anything to Meet Jesus (Paperback)

One of the things I liked the most about the book was the author's ability to share her father in a loving way. I loved that her father was so involved in his children's and grandchildren's lives and made lasting memories for each of them. He was a driven but fair man who never flaunted his wealth. The touching tribute to her father is very transparent and at times emotional. Her relationship with her father was both joyful and hard at times. Mr. King is very charming and I bet he had a personality that drew people to him. He is someone you want to be around because he had confidence and encouraged others. The Chuckism throughout the book was so fun to read and had much wisdom in those phrases. I loved the pictures the author shared in the book which gives readers a glimpse of a man who was smart, unique and loved his family. The later chapters in the book are hard to read as the author shares how her father changed when his wealth started to diminish. I can't image losing ninety-seven percent of your wealth. This one point in his life was to become his greatest challenge. Reading about his drug addiction made me tear up. A vital strong man reduced to sleeping all day devastated his family. Along side him was his wife who had also become addicted. As I read the book I kept thinking it doesn't matter how rich you are and how immune you think you are from the enemy. The enemy found a way into this man's life and continued to weaken him with drugs and lies. This story is sad at times but the miracle that happens overshadows everything. This is a story that illustrates that it is never to late to give your life to Christ and to never give up hope. I loved this statement the author shares, " Who are we to judge whether someone who has professed Christ is saved or not? Only God knows." Such a powerful statement that we all need to remember. I will always believe before my brother passed away last March that as he said the sinners prayer with me, that he was saved. I know he is in heaven and I'm thankful that I never gave up witnessing to him. I loved the ending of the book where the author shares how to lead someone to Christ. This would be an excellent book to use in a bible study or to share with someone who doesn't know Jesus. Thank you for writing a passionate book that gives hope to everyone who struggles with life The definition of character : "Doing what is right when no one is looking." I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
