A Good Read: Is There Anybody Out There?

Is There Anybody Out There? tells the story of Mez McConnell's "journey from despair to hope." As a child, he endured almost unbelieved abuse in his home. This led to drug abuse, violence, and prison time. His life was (slowly) changed by the Gospel and given purpose.

A quick read, Mez tells his story with a helpful combination of humor and candor. His recollections of his first impressions of Christians are convicting. His honesty about his slow 'progress' in the Christian faith is refreshing.

This book would be an encouraging read for anyone who needs to be reminded and assured of the Gospel's power to change lives in the worst of situations.
