• Exactly what I was looking for
  This was my favorite book as a child and I was very happy to purchase it to read for myself and also for my children.

• Wonderful story for adults and children of all ages
  I have just finished this book.
  Wilson Rawls has written a timeless classic that will entertain and delight readers of all ages. I wish I had read this story earlier.
  Wilson Rawls could have been the second coming of Homer.
  The religious theme was quite interesting.
