We were blessed today at Cross Pointe with the ministry of Mike Adkins ("A Man Called Norman"). He came for the Men's Conference on Friday - Saturday, and stayed for our Sunday services. My six year old missed children's church to hear him and listened to the entire presentation attentively. He shared with us at lunch some things that he gleaned from the stories. Mike has the ability to hold your attention with a combination of humor, life-stories, love, humility, and compassion. It was an awesome day.

YES!

I read the book for the first time a year ago and was suprised that it was by "that guy that used to be on PTL all the time"

I think that's a simple must read book for every Christian.

How Cool! I first heard "A Man Called Norman" on Focus on the
Family while commuting to college. I later bought the video.
I consider that one of those timeless classics that every believer
should hear at least once. He so vividly describes his story that
even with the audio only version - you can picture exactly what
he's saying.

I've used it numerous times in youth classes, etc. The bathroom
make-over always grosses me out! If that's not a humbling
experience, I don't know what is!
