A Pleasurable and Profitable Read!

At fourteen years old, Alex Patillo is an imaginative young author with amazing spiritual depth. John Benson's story, beginning as a high school student and continuing to his Pastorate in a large metropolitan church, is an exciting testimony to one man's committment and struggle to "grow" his church by offering God's love rather than popular, secular "come-ons", while dealing with a critical medical problem and his daughter's determination to go her way. An exciting and beneficial read for teens and a spiritual affirmation for adults.

Refreshing

Alex Pattillo's book takes the reader into a place that today's fiction seldom visits -- the church. Without slamming organized religion, Alex uses an engaging story to raise serious questions about practices and attitudes that have become commonplace. What happens when a modern prophet refuses to compromise? For American evangelicals, who often send missionaries to areas where syncretism has destroyed the authentic witness of the gospel, Steep Cliffs is a wake up call. A revealing look behind the scenes of a mega church and into the struggles of a family of believers, Pattillo's book will challenge you to look into your own heart to see whether your faith is the real thing.
