	Disappointing (2/5)	Mar 19, 2009	bthompsonrn	Longview WA US
	Up until now, everything that I have read from Scroll Publishing has been very refreshing and faith-building, but this book was a disappointment. I found that overall, the stories of the believers in the book lacked even the most basic understanding of the Bible and the gospel. Their faith seemed to be based on feeling rather than knowledge, and many had glaring doctrinal errors. I found this book to be mediocre at best.
	Early Christian Life (5/5)	Nov 10, 2011	David Valderrama	Tulsa Ok US
	A life changing book! Teaches about Blessed are the poor in spirit and blessed be ye poor, through testimonies, not mere words. Amazing stories of sacrifice, suffering love, and endurance that will challenge any who read it!
	Inspiring but flawed (5/5)	Feb 26, 2009	Another Pilgrim
	Mostly very inspiring accounts of Spirit-inspired Kingdom movements in Russia over the last few centuries. My only problem with it is that the authors appear to treat Leo Tolstoy as a true Christian. He loved Jesus' teachings and faithfully passed them on, but he denied the supernatural facts of the Bible and his version of the Kingdom of God was not a peculiar people called out of the world but the world itself transformed by Jesus' teachings. Fallen humanity is not capable of this transformation and efforts to bring it about can only be a tragic failure. This is the Social Gospel, not the gospel of Christ. To treat Tolstoy as a believer is also to blur the standard for recognizing a believer. However, there are many inspiring stories of true Christianity in the book otherwise.
