Realizing that we have erred greatly against God, yet He chooses to forgive and extend mercy is a lofty example of how we should be doing the same.

works through his life, from schooling to conversion. It presents some of the questions he asked along the way, and by telling the story in this way Cooper attempts to illustrate the motives and thoughts of a man who was incredibly passionate about God.
