Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me

This book is hands-down one of the best books I've read this year. Ian Cron's style is reminiscent of Frank McCourt's - another favorite of mine. He tells a story so fraught with disappointment and sadness, yet proves God's hand throughout. He has taken his potentially depressing life story and turned it into something amazing, uplifting, and absolutely enjoyable.

The book crackles with energy and wit. Every page is filled with clever metaphors and amusing allusions to the Bible. Cron pokes fun at established "religion," yet writes with the deepest respect and devotion to a living God.

I don't often give a five-star rating, but that's what Ian Cron's memoir deserves. It's a beautiful story with a beautiful message, and I highly recommend it.
