BookReview: Saved By Sago:A Pastor's Perspective.

I just finished the book Saved By Sago:A Pastor's Perspective. I had heard about it from a friend, who knew I was from the same place as the Sago tragedy. My first thought was that I didn't want to read the book. I mean who would want to relive a traumatic experience? The memories I had of the Sago mine experience where that of tears and shock. The first major tragedy on the local news since September 11th. Why would I want to read something like that? As I just randomly opened to the Foreward, which lead to the introduction, which eventually lead to back of the cover. I read it in one setting, and afterward felt an uplifted feeling. It had some very possitive messages, and offers a great perspective on the apalachian perspective of life. It seriously brought tears to my eyes in some places, and it wasn't due to the fact that it was reliving the chaos or media fiasco. It also was truly enlightening to me at a time when I've been having the denominational debate, it reminded me that when all is said and done there are those who believe and those who don't not the confetti of denominations. Finally, I have met the author personally, and think that he is an awesome guy. He is inspirational to christians in the community, and has served it well in his time here. I think this book is a great read, and I will be passing it along, and buying it for friends in Savannah. I think its a story that needs to be told, and passed along.
