LOST BOY is extremely well made. It captures the viewers and makes us laugh and cry.

Greg Laurie’s mother was a lost soul. She went through four divorces before she was 25 and continued to run out of one marriage after another. Her son, Greg, now an evangelist, grew up looking for love in all the wrong places. He used his cartooning talent to put psychedelic messages into the high school newspaper at Corona Del Mar, Calif. However, after transferring to another high school, against his better judgment, he got roped into a high school Bible study and came to Christ. As a result, he threw away his drugs, started attending church and eventually became a powerful evangelist and a significant pastor.
