Awesome book

This book was amazing. It made me grow in the Lord by helping me realize that i don't witness enough. We have opportunities every day and we don't use them. I would recommend this book to anyone, even if they don't believe in the Lord. This is a truely amazing novel, by a truely amazing author.

A great Christian teen read

I found this book very inspirational to my Christian walk. The teenage boy in this story becomes a powerful witness for God, rising above criticism from friends and fear of rejection. It left a lasting impression on me about not judging others by the way they look or act, because they may be hurting and need help, but can't or won't ask for it. This book gave me the desire to be that sort of Christian who witnesses to others. Everyone who reads this will enjoy the writing, characters and plot, and want to pass it along to all the Christian teenagers and young adults that they know.

Must-Read

I really like this book. It's interesting and causes you to think. It helps motivate other teens to witness to people. And it's a great read, too. In a way, it's like a short story. Bye.

The BEST book!

This book was incredible! It is really interesting and great for all teenage christians. It shows what really happens, how people treat eachother and hide their religion. It also shows how much better things are when you share your faith and help others. A great book!!!!!

Stirring and challenging Christian novella

This book is an excellent evangelistic tool, as it challenges you to witness to others about your faith. What if you could hear the actual heart-cry of someone and could know exactly what their deepest need was? How would you use it? How would you react? Would you use it for your own selfish gain, or would you use it to bring others to the real answer of Jesus? These questions are dealt with, and the challenge is made to reach others. It will be incredibly hard to walk away from this book without it having impacted you in some way. This is also available in an adult (or more mature) version as simply "The Heart Reader". The message is the same, but there are a few story differences.
