Challenges of life: God’s rescue through prayer is not only a semi autobiographical and captivating story that reveals bishop Peter Bol Arok’s very humble background and service to the church in south Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya, but most importantly, focuses on the day challenges of Christian and the power of prayers in his/her life. It shows through several biblical examples as well as interesting observations from a selection of Christian writers that despites the many trials and temptations that a Christian faces, he/she should stand firm and strong by turning to God in prayer.

I believe this book that read like the bishop’s testimony, will appeal to all Christians who are facing hardships, temptations and feel like they want to give up as they serve the lord all over the world.

The writer and the bishop has not only dual much in his inspirations in Christianity and his struggles that comprises of many things he went through, but also touches on the first struggle for freedom in the autonomous then southern Sudan. He is able to mention some leaders who brand the several phases of the Anyanya’s wars.

The book is also affordable to reading since it removes the stresses of bulkiness as portrayed by it pages which are convenience to both low and habit readers and I believe it is in God’s hidden work of inspiration that we are able to access his salvation in multiple ways. And I encourage the willing to share with bishop in his written testimonies.
