Review:
Poor as he was, little Davie was rich in spirit. With broom in hand, he loved to sing as he swept the muddy crossings. One day, the sweet music from the Abbey’s pipe organ drew him near, and the words he heard from the preacher that day forever changed his life. But what did it all mean, that he could be a king unto God?
Mesmerized by the sparkling gems on the hilt of a sword as the carriage passed by, Davie was suddenly jolted from his reverie. In a moment there was a wild shriek- a piercing cry… -From the preface
How God used Davie’s amazing voice, and works a complete miracle, makes a great read!
In a nutshell: Great read, this book is great for the boy singer in your family! (And for everyone else!)
