[Mandy Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was actually written by his son. Very old, highly accurate, and just jaw dropping tales of the hysteria, mutinies and bad behavior he had to manage. I love that he felt God was pushing him, and it was His work. I imagine him frustrated to have pure desires and watch the people around him consumed with selfishness, sometimes to their death.
