I found your ministry in a round-about way -- that's when I found the book Lost Boy. This story has been a blessing to me and has offered much hope and direction for my prayers. It is so like the LORD to a troubled life, turn it completely around, and use it to encourage parents to stay in the battle against the enemy.

I would like to let you know how blessed I am to be reading your book Lost Boy again. My brother loaned it to me and I have truly enjoyed reading and being encouraged to continue praying for my daughters. They were raised in the church but have stopped serving the Lord they tell me they know He is there when they need him, I pray they would recommit their lives and serve him wholeheartedly and realize that He is always there, not only in the trying times but through everyday and moment of their lives.

Once again thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord.

Lost Boy will touch your heart in a profound way. (Posted on 2008-12-22 22:55:50)

I love Greg Laurie’s story so much. His own personal story is a stunning reminder of why our savior came.

I have never heard about you until our family took a trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico. My husband's aunt invited us to go to church with her to hear you speak. Your story of the lost boy and how you found God really had me in tears. It was no coincidence that you were there exactly the same weekend that we took the drive all the way from Sherman, Texas to Albuquerqe, New Mexico. I read your book "Lost Boy" and finished it. Thank you for being a part of teaching me about God.

I am reading your autobiography and I’m almost finished—your story is almost identical to mine. Thank you for speaking the truth without watering it down, I need it, oh so badly.

Thank you so much for all you do. In February I rededicated my life to Christ. Previously, I spent my whole life staring at an apple tree without picking the apples and taking a bite. Since my rededication I feel the presence of God almost every night to such a degree that I almost come to tears.

Pastor Greg, your book, Lost Boy, was amazing; I read it in two days! It made me want to get up and do everything the correct way. Thank you so much for helping me realize that my only hero is my Lord Jesus Christ!

Pastor Greg, It was through your radio show that I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior, and quickly found a good church home. I lost my son when he was 33 years old. He did not live long enough to know that I am saved too. I bought your great book Lost Boy. I pray that many, many young boys and men will purchase, or at least read, Lost Boy. Do not forget that God is faithful; our God is GOOD. (Posted on 2008-10-02 22:25:37)

I just finished reading your book Lost Boy. It really touched me. I appreciate the candor with which you spoke of your past. Although I’ve listened to you for years, your transparency within the book and through the passing of your son has really modeled what it means to put on humility. Thank you for your openness, I’m sure it is bearing much fruit. I plan to get a copy of Lost Boy to my prodigal daughter in hope that God would get through to her by it.

I’m in Christian radio in Indianapolis. I was in my office when Focus on the Family came on. It was the two-day broadcast of your testimony and it was absolutely riveting. I just had to see the webcast on Daystar TV in early July. Then I just had to order my own copy! I’m looking forward to presenting it to the youth Bible Fellowship class I teach at church. I believe it will really speak to them in a powerful way. Some come from very difficult backgrounds. I’d imagine it’s somewhat painful for you to revisit the past (especially in writing the book), so I really appreciate your transparency to achieve the purpose of God, using your story to speak to so many for His glory! The documentary inspired me to pick up my old copy of the book Harvest by Pastor Chuck Smith and Tal Brooke. I was riveted all over again! May God continue to bless your ministry, Greg, as you pastor and speak at Harvest Crusades. Warmly, in His grace,

There are so many “lost boys” in this world that need to know that they are not alone and that there is hope for them.
Thank you for your ministry and for sharing your story.
Shalom,

Very touching! This life story shows how the Lord works all things together for good to those who love God and called according to his purpose! Perfect for sharing with those of all walks of life.

We got this book in the mail a few days ago. I picked it up and began to read it right away. It is an absolute page-turner! It isn’t really about Greg Laurie. It’s about what the Lord has done for Greg Laurie.

Lost Boy will reach many, many people. It would make an excellent gift for anyone you know, especially if they don’t yet have a personal relationship with Jesus.

The book is written in a conversational and very readable tone. It’s so personal that it feels like Greg is telling the story to you as you’re sitting down together in your living room.

I believe the Lord is going to use Lost Boy to reach people in a very powerful, special way. All glory to the Lord! God bless, keep and continue to use you, Greg!

Pastor Greg, this is the best book you’ve ever written. You put your heart and soul into it, and it really shows. My dad was an alcoholic who grew up in your generation (the Baby Boomers). Unfortunately, he never turned from his addictions to a relationship with Christ. I could relate to your experiences in many ways. I’ll be buying copies for many family members this Christmas. Thanks for all your hard work and for letting the Lord use you to impact so many lives for good… including mine!

I bought this book a couple of weeks ago intending to give it as a gift to my ex-husband, who I feel is a “lost boy” himself. I decided to read it myself first, and what a great decision that was! I am not a “reader” by any stretch of the imagination, so I was surprised to find myself looking forward to reading every night before bed in order to continue on Greg’s journey. I finished the book within a weeks time. I am planning to purchase more of Pastor Greg’s books. I loved Lost Boy.

Having had the pleasure of actually knowing Greg Laurie as a friend and mentor, I can say that Lost Boy truly allows you to see who he really is. It’s not just a diligent chronicling of his history so much as a rollercoaster ride that enables you to see and feel who he really is as his story races by. It’s kind of like a biography on Red Bull!

One thing’s for sure, this book will show you that the singular passion in Greg’s life is to know God and make Him known. In Lost Boy, Greg expresses his deep respect for Billy Graham and how highly he esteems him. Greg has been someone that I have looked up to in that way. As a pastor and as an evangelist and as a person, he is someone whose footsteps I want to follow, and I know I that I am not alone.

For the thousands who have been impacted by Greg’s ministry, Lost Boy will be an opportunity to see “behind the scenes” in his life and get to know the man behind the pulpit.
