A Man Called Norman

Rating:
Summary: I love this book
Review: If there's anyone who's ever heard Mike Adkins tell this story, live or via tape, you've gotta have this book. I heard him talk about his times with Norman from a tape that was able to listen to in 6th grade which was about 10 years ago. What this book does is it takes the story of Norman and tells it more in-depth and it's more personal as far as explaining Norman's spiritual growth, and also Mike's spiritual growth as he helped Norman accept the gift God had fore him. For anyone who's ever heard Mike speak, and for anyone who's ever heard of Mike's story in general, get this book.

Rating:
Summary: a wonderful story of compassion (a true story)
Review: Norman was the neighborhood "weirdo" - a bachelor old man whose personal hygiene and interactions with others left something to be desired!! The author moved into the house across the street, not realizing Norman lived across the way! Horrified at first, he eventually decides to reach out to Norman and befriend him. The result is the "unforgettable story of an uncommon friendship"! A touching and inspiring true story about loving your neighbor - even if they are different in some way! More people should know about this book.
