Brother Lawrence entered the monastic order in 1642 believing that he was giving up this world's happiness to become a monk, but there discovered a much deeper happiness than he had ever imagined. One day when he was praying and reflecting on the dramatic turn of events in his life, he shouted out, "God, You have outwitted me!"This simple phrase has become both banner and battle cry for Maxie Dunnam, as well. It's his testimony; God has outwitted him over and over again. In this memoir, Dunnam considers his life, not as a detailed rehearsal of people, places, and events, but rather as a reflection on the events and circumstances that have shaped him into the teacher and preacher he has become.
