God in the Shadows

Walking from East to West

Todd Luallen

A wonderful little book that chronicles the life and ministry of Ravi Zacharias, from his humble beginnings in India to speaking all over the world and heading up his RZIM. His story isn't laced with the sort of miracles and events that are typical in Missionary biographies, although there are a few. Yet the supernatural is clearly evident in all of his speaking engagements. God clearly works through this man, and it's abundantly visible in the transformed hearts that walk from his talks and sermons. 

A couple of surprises struck me as I read this book. First, I was unaware that Ravi had volunteered to go into Vietnam at the height of the war in order to preach. A great testimony of his dedication, and the dedication of those that served over there much longer - some of whom gave their lives for the Lord. I was also unaware that Ravi had attempted to commit suicide as a teenager during a time when he was in the depths of despair and confusion. He thought he had nothing to offer the world or his family, and yet God had other plans. Thank you Lord for using this man to further your Kingdom.
