Comment:

Bought the book a couple weeks ago. It's OK. It's nice that they've made a biography of sorts. As a fan, it's nice to have a reference point to help fill in some of those gaps in his story. It's hagiography. It essentially posits that Norman was flawed and misguided, but generally trying to do what he felt was right. I think people will get more out of the book if they treat it as a devotional more than a biography, per se.. Thornbury assumes certain Christian truths in his narrative that no journalistic biographer would assume. However, since it was published under Penguin/Random House's Christian imprint, it fits. It's just worthwhile to consider its publication status, lest one be disappointed by the book's hagiographic tone.
