I did it his wayHugh Hill's storyPage turnerI DID IT HIS WAY This is a book to stir your faith. It will encourage you to trust in a God who is mighty in working to change lives. And that is surely something we all need to know more of. It is about Hugh Hill and how God saved him, moulded him and used him. In our world of indifference I found it so stirring to read of God coming and converting a 42-year-old successful businessman with a drink problem. In the opening parts of the book I wondered if everything was going almost too well for Hugh. But then we read of the collapse of the business and how God used this to open up another phase in Hugh’s life. The book then is a real page-turner as God’s grace is so demonstrably seen. The testimonies of those connected with Hugh in different phases of his experience add colour and insight into how God worked in Hugh’s life. One minor criticism would be that I felt the book petered out somewhat. It was almost as if it did not know where to stop. Drawing a line at the point when Hugh first served as a pastor and picking the story about his pastoral ministry up in a further book might have been more effective. I, for one, would love to read such a book about God working with Hugh in pastoral service. Nevertheless, here is a book to read. Please get it, read it and be encouraged. God is alive and can do for many others what he has done for Hugh. Praise the LORD! Philip Venables,
