Take your glory, Lord

A review of this book was compiled by:

Matthew Smith-Belton

A summary of this book:

It is a biography of William Duma's life, a South African reverend through about the 30's through to late 70's. A testimony account of his faith and journey with the Lord and how he lead his church and how the Lord used him to impact South Africa during apartheid, and even globally.

What did you like about the book?

I like how the writer was a close friend to William Duma. So the writer is basically taking Duma through his life again and narrating the stories and testimonies as they are being told, with outside accounts too.

What did you not like about this book?

Super high grade English. Overly descriptive English.

Who would benefit most from reading this book?

Any South African that understands SA's past, because I was really encouraged by how God calls His "Enoch" kind of men to obey and serve Him, that there may always be light overcoming the dark... You want to serve God, read this and be stirred and challenged.

Do you recommend this book?

Yes, without hesitation

If someone reads this book, they should be aware of the following...

Its old, so the English is hard, read carefully
