With a troubled childhood behind him and an overweening urge to succeed driving him forward, James ODonnell forged a seemingly successful marriage and career and enjoyed flaunting all the good things hed planned for himself, only to find that it was all hay, straw and stubble. Then, along came Arthur: erudite, successful, and following his Lord no matter where He might lead. And where it led was to brash, spiritually-hungry-without-knowing-it James. Arthur talked, James listened, argued, got interested and strode forward into a new, vastly different life.
Professor, former business man, writer James ODonnells motivational autobiography presents an intriguing, teaching portrait of a humble Christian mentor (Arthur) seeking to live out a purposeful life, a man who said Jesus without even cursing. Breezy, straight-from-the-shoulder, ODonnell relates his journey from a self-centered winner to a man who met God, found out He was love, and set out on a journey to become a more loving, forgiving human being. ODonnell doesnt wow with theology, or overwhelm with Christian language, but he does include Bible passages and Christian experience. The epilogue, A Word From Arthur, provides just the right finish. A small book, easily read, Walking With Arthur entertains, encourages and challenges. Donna Eggett, Christian Book Previews.com
