Description

Todd Bentley is the real deal and this book is an account of the first 30 or so years of his life. It seems that this is the definitive testimony of the times we are moving into. Todd shares about the struggles of his early life growing up in a very disfunctional family (divorced parents at 6, mostly absent father, deaf mother) in Canada and the accelerated downward spiral he found himself going down, quickly hitting rock bottom. He shares about his major drug addictions (3 overdoses before he’s 18) and gang involvment. Sexual abuse, criminal activity of various kinds, sex, drugs, rock and roll, jail, satanism, demonic visitaions and everything else you can imagine all before he’s 18. Todd explains that the reason he spends all this time talking about his ugly past “is certainly not to glorify sin.” But to “emphasize the fact that I’m ordinary. God didn’t choose to use me because my mother dedicated me to the Lord and sent me off to live my early life cloistered away in a monastery studying ‘the disciplines’ each day.”
