Summary: Great Book
Review: Terry Johnson struggled through grade school because of a dyslexia problem that wasn't diagnosed untill later. Staright out of High School he was taken by the Air Force. His plan was to become a chaplian but at the end of basic training he was thrust into the police acadamey. Now normally that wouldn't be a big problem but Johnson is a Seventh-Day Adventist and believed that he should not kill another human. He went through weapons qualifying anyways and missed the target every time no matter the range. He was held bac for a second round of qualifying. During that time a friend was trying out for the Presidential Honor Gaurd. He asked Johnson to come along as moral support. To make a long story short Johnson was forced to try out. He didn't think he stood a chance becuase he couldn't even march properly. He ended up making it, becoming the first handicapped (dyslexic) person to serve in the Honor Gaurd. Also he was the first black from Oregon to and the first Adventist to serve in the Honor Gaurd. This is his inspiring story of his time in the Honor Gaurd, interspersed with stories from his child-hood. If you like this book try "The Unlikeliest Hero" also from Pacific Press.

Summary: Eye-opening, heartwarming, & spiritual
Review: This was one of the first, definetly the best, testimonial that I have ever read. I loved that the author let you get away a little and then pulled you right back in. I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling in or wants to strengthen their religion!
