This was one of the most well written autobiographies I have read. Oral Roberts did an excellent job capturing my attention and drawing me into his story. He told about his greatest successes and how God moved through him and he also told of his mistakes with the university and with his family. I, however, am not as interested in learning the many details of the University that fill the last half of the book.

Getting to know one of charismatic most influential men in 20th century. Although I don't agree with all his theology, lifestyle and some of his fund raising methods it's clear that God used him.
He was a big thinker, not scared to dream big and trust God- lessons we can all learn.
Although he was healing evangelist, he still had high regard for medicine, education and engaging with the world. Founding a Christian university was an achievement done against all odds.

It just seems to go with the territory that these charismatic, devoted, inspirational Christians are also involved in harmful scandals. And in the health and wealth gospel that Roberts takes from 3 John 2-4. Maybe, as my friend says, we're all doing our crummy best.
I love autobiographies of people that God used mightily in ministry. Oral Roberts' story is a unique one that emphasizes the wonderful grace and power of Jesus Christ.
