Walking from East to West: God in the Shadows

Walking From East to West is without a doubt the best autobiography I have read in many months.

Ravi Zacharias is a humble, deep and passionate man, who's beginnings could never have fortold the impact he would have on so many people world wide, in the years to come!

The book itself is exceptionaly well written, it's honest, brutaly honest at times, leaving very little to the imagination. Ravi illustrates well the importance of the father figure in our lives and how deep rooted their criticism can run. He also draws on how his family overcame the immigrant status when moving to the West; one of the most difficult situations for any family to be in. In areas where some would shy away, Ravi exposes and makes no bones about the fact that he is not perfect - that it is by God's grace alone, that we can do what He calls us to do.

Walking From East to West is the story about a man's journey to follow the call of God upon His life. The challenges he faces and the victories he celebrates. It's about God's willingness to use anyone who is a willing vessel.The reality of life as an international evangelist, the bright lights and the dark moments.

From the dusty streets of India to the jet-setting lifestyle of the world's foremost Christian apologist, the contrasts are great. If you want to be inspired, read this book. If you want to be entertained, read this book. If you want God to stir something of what's on His heart, in your heart, then read this book.
