Since I read Calvary Road almost every year, it was fascinating to get to know the story behind it through Roy Hession's autobiography. I felt like I was encountering friends along the way as a number of his peers are other writers who have been deeply formative in my journey of faith (Major Ian Thomas, Norman Grubb). Furthermore, I discovered that Calvary Road, while still his most well-known book, was only the first of his writings. I'm keen to get my hands on some of his later ones as his own faith and understanding continued to develop. It is always so encouraging to read about a faithful servant, especially when they are honest about their struggles and personal growth.

Blessed to have read this

The book The Calvary road by this author changed my life years ago. It was a blessing to read this book about the author.

I ordered this book by accident while attempting to order a copy of The Calvary Road for someone. But I soon realized that this very well may not have been a mistake from God's perspective, as it turned out to be a very helpful book! There is so much of Roy's story that I found relevant - especially in light of all the lessons God has been teaching me in all the others books I've read this year - that I'm glad I accidentally ended up with it. Many of the lessons of The Calvary Road are reinforced in this autobiography, but they felt more accessible in a way by learning how Roy Hession initially learned those lessons. His life inspired me by the way he showed me how he walked the Calvary Road.

I read it because of the impact a couple of his books made on my life. The others were stronger.
