Describing the wonder of
friendship, Solomon said “two are better than one.” This factual coming –of-age
story begins with a twosome—David Asscherick and Nathan Renner—before their
paths crossed. As children the rugged West invigorates and toughens them,
instilling an awe of nature and a love of conquest. Adolescence sees them foray
into skateboarding, rock climbing, and straightedge punk rock music. Finally,
what appears to be fate connects them, tumbling them together in the same 20th
century youth culture and spitting them out as ardent followers of a new faith.
Jennifer Jill Schwirzer has done a marvelous job of writing
biographies of these two who when they found God continued their love of nature
including rock climbing and then they started a school of Evangelism which they
call ARISE.
It is really two amazing stories that comes together as the
same story. Reading this book shows how God uses many different people and
circumstances to guide one to the place where he wants them to be.
