Customer Reviews

One of the best books I have read.

I bought this book about 2 years ago and just recently got around to reading it. I must say, the book was very hard for me to put down. I found Larry's story to be extremely convicting and some of his experiences at various churches he attended seemed to parallel my own. This book was well written and flowed very smooth. It's amazing how God transformed Larry's life and how he eventually left the movie industry. Yes, his convictions meant more to him then MONEY. My only sadness was when I finished the book. It was so good I wish it would have been 500 pages. I was convicted in my own life from while reading this book. I will definitely read this book again and pass it on to family members.

A convicting book.

I found this man's autobiography entertaining, encouraging, and convicting. Mr. Vaughn goes through many events in his life that in hindsight show the providence of God in bringing a man to Christ and shaping that man into an image of his Savior. Mr. Vaughn's own struggle with staying in the movie industry reminded me of 2 Tim. 3:12 as he faced much ridicule for the decisions he made regarding his career. His story also made me re-evaluate my own habits regarding movies. I strongly recommend this book to anyone.

An encouraging Real-Life story!

This book is an amazing story of a man's quest for happiness in his life. From chain-smoker, hard gambler, and film buyer to a Christian man struggling to go two directions at once - toward solid Christian growth and toward worldly living. I've personally seen Larry Vaughn and his family - a sweet Christian family willing to sacrifice all worldly goods for true happiness, found only in Jesus Christ. This book is a must-read for Christians looking for encouragement, or non-Christians who are searching as Larry Vaughn was, for "a pearl of great price."
