Having given his life to Christ at a young age and flourishing incredibly in business, Gerry was always a practicing Christian doing all he could for the Lord. Or so he thought till he was called to work for Christ. His service to the lord would require him to abandon a well-paying job to work as the national director in Youth For Christ Jamaica with no salary guarantee. Quite a heavy sacrifice and choice to be made. A choice to come with financial challenges in the future. But trusting the Lord, he took a leap of faith. He has been living with such faith ever since, faith in God’s sustenance.

Living By Faith is a narration of the testimonies Gerry Gallimore has experienced in his personal life and as a Christian leader. Gerry narrates his life as a Christian who has committed to a life of faith, service, and evangelism. His book is an outpouring from a thankful heart and mouth of the testimonies of God’s grace, mercy, and providence in a man's life full of faith. And like the Psalmist David and the first non-white President of Youth For Christ International, Gerry, would say, “come and listen all ye who fear God” to the wondrous miracles made possible by faith!

There were a lot of positive aspects to this book. The book was exceptionally edited, as I could find no errors in the book. This was quite impressive. I deem it distinctive and uncommon that the narrator decided to share mostly testaments of God’s works in his life. I appreciate the fact he did not ramble on and on, imploring readers to trust in God’s miraculous workings. He, instead, shares moving, tear-jerking testimonies of God's awesomeness in his life.

His stories of God’s miracles he experiences renew our faith in God and remind us of God’s power without many teachings. There is no doubt he chose the best way to convey spiritual lessons to his readers. Amongst these spiritual lessons, I must particularly point out the author’s recognizance of changing times and the need for evangelists to take note of this and adapt. He admonishes evangelists on this in his speech delivered in Amsterdam.

The repetition of specific biblical phrases and passages not only sticks them to listeners’ memories but creates a pattern in his writings. In each chapter, I unconsciously looked forward to reading the much-repeated Psalm 66 verse 60. The chapters were of moderate length except for the last two chapters. Excitedly, I can say that there are no negative aspects to this book. The book is soul-enriching and encouraging, especially to the Christian faithful.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for the above reasons. I recommend this book to Christians seeking to strengthen their faith in God, workers in the Lord’s vineyard, and all who fear God.

The dealings of God on a man can be so difficult and only the strong can survive. I appreciate the writer for sharing his personal experience with readers. This will go a long way to increase my faith in God

[Patty Allread]

This man's testimonies sound like excellent communication many can receive and learn from.

A book about the author's experience with Christ and the sacrifices that sufficed is a lesson to be learned from. thanks for the review

[Stephanie Kanu]

Thank you for this brilliant review. In today's day and age, Christians have lost a deep understanding of many spiritual virtues. One of them and perhaps the most misunderstood is faith. What better way to teach and explain faith than through one's experiences and encounters? This was touching and as you said, soul enriching. I can't wait to read this soon.
