This book reminds me of anticipating a s’more at a campfire. There’s prep work there’s thought there’s planing that goes into the fire. There’s smells and sounds and sights an effort. And then you can do the fire and you can smell it and you can feel it. That’s the kind of emotions that this book makes you feel. It’s very sensory. It’s like a four hour s’more‘s eating dessert.

If you have lived in Akron (especially South Akron/Summit Lake area) and have experienced a "calling" to do good, this is a must-read! Brilliantly written!
