Life Change Events by Philip Richter Young is a non-fiction book that is based on a true-life story and a series of events that happened in the life of Philip Richter Young. The author shares his life story and the spiritual encounters he experienced. The author also exposed us to the reality of God's existence and his faith in Jesus Christ. The author started by telling us about himself and then went on to narrate two unique events that occurred in his life while he was in college. In this book, the author also narrates his experiences with friends, family, God and how he built his relationship with God.

I enjoyed the author's narration of each event that happened in his life. I could easily relate to the events because of the author's style of writing. The author was quite practical in his narration. I learned some lessons from this book. I also loved how the author started by telling us about himself and then went on to narrate his story. This made it easier for me to understand the events and helped me feel the emotions the writer was trying to convey through each narration. I also loved the fact that the author was able to establish that God did exist, as well as Satan. Philip Richter Young also communicated his confidence in God and also encouraged us to stand firm, trusting God in all aspects of our lives. The author further explained that God loves every one of His children and has a special plan and purpose for each one of them.

However, I struggled with comprehending some of the statements and texts in this book. This is because the book contained numerous typographical and grammatical errors. Because of these errors, I did not enjoy reading this book. I often got distracted and had to read some statements repeatedly to make sense of them. This made reading this book very tedious, difficult and confusing. I would suggest that this book be thoroughly edited to avoid its readers being distracted or confused because of these errors. Aside from the typographical and grammatical errors, I do not have any other complaints about this book.

There were lots of lessons I learned from this book. However, I would rate this book 2 out of 4 stars. This is because of the numerous typographical and grammatical errors I observed while reading this book. These errors were many. I had to read some texts repeatedly to understand what the author was trying to communicate. This made me struggle while reading this book. Because of these errors, I often got confused and frustrated in trying to make sense of some of the author's statements.

I would recommend this book to people who would love to know more about God's plan for their lives. Since the book narrates some difficult situations experienced by the author and how he came out of them, I would also recommend this book to people who are going through some difficult situations in their lives. I would also recommend this book to people struggling with their relationship with God.

A book I would love to read as you recommended it for those that would want to know more about God's plan for their lives, my own drawback would be that it contains a lot of errors.
Thank you for this review.

There was a time I was in the author's shoes and doubted the existence of God. But overtime, I have come to be a believer in God. This is a great book.

Books with numerous typographical and grammatical errors can be very distracting and tiresome to read. although this book seems amazing, but I would pass on this one. Good job in your review. It was candid.
