This book has been a longtime favorite of mine. i have read this book multiple times. the ending is everything that a book should have and it fits the nature of the story. billy is a character that most of us guys can identify with, but rolf is also someone that men can identify with as well. the book makes you think that no matter what is going on in the world, when you rely on God and his wisdom and allow him control, then things always work out for the betterment of the kingdom.
