Just as the Lord tested the Israelites in the wilderness to prove them to see if they would obey Him, He tests each one of us. My Mates and I is the story of one lad's testing in the wilderness of his life. He learns the great difference between reformation and repentance. He learns that good resolutions are useless unless one learns to depend on Jesus for strength and grace. The book is loaded with good advice and spiritual admonitions which will encourage any reader to stay on the straight and true path. KOF Old Reprint.
