The apostle Paul testified that it is not the wise, the mighty, or the noble but rather the foolish and weak who are chosen to manifest the glory of God in the midst of a dark and dying world. Herbert Grings humbly followed his Savior wherever he was called, and he sought to bring God alone the glory through his life and sacrificial service.

I enjoyed this book. It was a very straightforward, but inspiring read. There were not as many references to personal reflections or feelings as I would have expected, but there are many inspiring and thought provoking passages none the less. It is free for Kindle and well worth the read if you like reading biographies on inspiring Christians.
