Description
Rejecting his family and Christian upbringing, Andy Robinson wanted everything life had to offer to satisfy his every pleasure. God seemed so limiting. His family held him back. The devil offered so much. He made a choice, and made a deal with the devil, rejecting God.
Life was on the up. He wanted drink, drugs, women and the freedom to do whatever he wanted. Every indulgence was satisfied. Andy’s world was a model for youthful pleasure and his freedom to choose. Until one day his world came crashing down around him.
With broken relationships, Andy found himself homeless, desperate and living in fear on the streets. He was out of control and in a downward spiral of destruction. Prison became his only safe place, and when out, was at the mercy of the dark and terrifying world he unwittingly made a pact with. Despite the rebellion, God still had hold of Andy.
This story traces the series of disastrous decisions Andy made that almost destroyed his life. It also reveals the extraordinary love of God to rescue those who are utterly lost. If your life seems out of control, this book offers you the same hope that transformed Andy’s life.

“The Choice” is a fast-moving and gripping read about the life of the author, who got himself into a dark, downward spiral of self-destruction before an encounter with God. I enjoyed reading the honest account of a man who openly hated God, and the surprise he felt upon meeting Him only to find that God was not who he had expected. Perhaps the best aspect about “The Choice” compared with some similar Christian biographies is the lack of a ‘happily ever after’. Andy’s story doesn’t stop at conversion, but continues to outline the huge struggles that followed him up to the present day. By being so open about his difficulties, Andy realistically shows that while meeting God is a life-changing event, it doesn’t mean that life’s ups and downs simply disappear.

I love the format of this book which makes it very easy to read and it is so moving and kept me hooked. I read it in 2 days and it’s now doing the rounds with my family which usually happens when we get our hands on a page turner. I love to hear of how Christ has changed people’s lives!

This is a book about one man’s search for meaning in life. It is totally honest in its description of Andy’s attempt to make sense of what happened to him. Most of all it describes his coming to faith and his ongoing walk with God in brutally frank terms – none of the all-too-common “come to Jesus and everything will be all right!” I thoroughly recommend this book both to those who are seeking and to those who, having started, are tempted to give up. It is a gripping read!

This excellent book tells Andy’s own story. Not always a comfortable read, particularly for a parent, but the it leaves you with the knowledge that however low life may take someone there is a hope which God can still provide. Compelling reading for anyone who feels there may be no way out of their current problems and for those who see a family member caught up in what seems like an endless downward spiral.

Read this from cover to cover on Boxing Day. Fantastic read, loved it! Honest and real, it illustrates the terrible reality and very real dangers of Satan and the destructive power he brings to humanity for those who are not living under the safety of God’s covering and protection through Jesus Christ. The moment where God met with Andy one night brought me to tears. Our Heavenly Father’s overwhelming love for His children – even those who have rejected Him as Andy did, is so evident in this book. For those who think the devil doesn’t exist or has no power in this world … read this.

A humbling account of a transformed life. A well told story with some gripping accounts of a seemingly wasted young life.
