"...indeed, From Despair to Victory is a MUST READ BOOK! With our lives being so busy today, we read very little in this life that is truly worth reading. I assure you that you will find within the pages of this intriguing book, someone who has gone from the brink of a wasted life, to a transformed life filled with victorious living; with a moving message you will never forget. Having known Ben since I was a samll child, many years ago, I am aware of how God transformed his life into a true instrument of the Lord Jesus Christ, to lead thousands to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus. I strongly challenge you to get a copy of this powerful and wonderful book. Again I say: From Despair to Victory is a MUST READ BOOK!"

"Dr. Ben, reading your marvelous book was like pulling a chapter out of my own life and a review of the exciting events of those days; especially our days in evangelism together.

You write well and I could see and "remember" many of those incidents clearly. I was impressed especially with your recounting the episodes regarding the orphaned six children you became the guardian of and took them to England to grand parents. That was a perfect example of you "being" the gospel...showing your faith, not only in word , but in deed. I believe your book will reach many people. Your honesty is important. I am honored to be a part of the story; a story that will still be read long after we are gone.

I think of your book as an "adventure". It reads that way. I remember all the wonderful times we spent together in ministry. I am placing you book on a very special shelf in my library, where it is in "good" company with some very important writers who have presented me with signed copies of their books. My prayer that others may be enriched by your book as I was. It is an important piece of literature. Thank you!
