The luckiest man alive by John Paine

This book really is something else to read, what an amazing living testimony John Paine is. Here is someone who had it all in the worlds eyes and now after a 17 year battle with ALS would seem to be an object of pity or someone who is very unlucky and yet he says he is the luckiest man in the world! Reading of his struggles since getting ALS one quickly realizes that he has battled pain and loss of so many things that we take for granted and yet instead of becoming bitter over it, he has a grateful heart for the things the Lord has done for him.
I love how candid John is, even before his battle with ALS many would think he had it all together and that he knew God,but he shows how he knew about God but his struggles have really made him know God in a much deeper way. Such a powerful testimony and one that I needed to read as here is someone who has lost so much and yet can say "It is well" and that is so powerful.
Utterly engaging this book weaves together the life of John Paine from his time his tough childhood to his wild success to modern time. I could hardly put this book down and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
