God must have had His hand on him even before he ever acknowledged who God was. After becoming a believer, he has turned down many parts that he felt like would compromise the witness that he's tried to maintain, including ever kissing anyone besides his wife. At the end of "Facing the Giants", there is a kiss scene with his screen wife, but they brought in his real wife in a wig and filmed it in the shadows so it appeared to be the actress from the movie. He will not budge on the things he feels are convictions!
I would recommend this book to anyone who grew up watching "Growing Pains" - you will definitely enjoy it and will be thrilled at what God has done in his life.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
