Book Review - Running For My Life

I recently finished reading the book "Running For My Life" by Lopez Lomong.  This was one of the best books I have ever read.  It is a great story about a "lost boy" of Sudan who was kidnapped at the age of 6 to become a child soldier.  The book journeys with Lopez as he escapes his captors and lives at a UN camp for 10 years before coming to the United States as a 16 year old in 2001. 

Lopez never lost faith in God and kept on pursuing his dreams.  In 2008 he was the US flag bearer at the Olympics!  This is a must read book for anyone who wants to see the good work God still does in our lives today if we are faithful to him.

I give this book a 5 out of 5 rating!  I am a member of Book Sneeze by Thomas Nelson Publishers.  I received this book in exchange for a review of it.
