This book gave me a whole new appreciation for my country. I didn't know about "the killing fields" although the phrase alone is enough to give you the chills. The things that Sophal had to learn and do at such a young age just to survive is terrifying. It's extraordinary that her entire family was able to escape. Her story about coming to the USA, finding God, and (somehow) being able to let go of the past in order to save her future deserves a place on your bookshelf. There's a lot of wisdom in this book. Gratitude, grace, personal growth, and overcoming challenges are a few of the topics that Sophal touches on.

A Lot of Wisdom in a Little Book!

- Lindsey 

From Hell to Heaven is such an inspiring story written by an amazingly real woman!!! To learn about all of Sophal’s struggles and how she found God and learned to lean on Him to survive and grow, provides a
priceless roadmap for the rest of us who may be going through tough times. It is obvious that Sophal writes this book from her heart and out of her deep love for God and all He has done for her. This book is a must read, and a fantastic resource in helping one to grow in their faith walk.

Inspirational and Real

- Mark B.

I found this book from a comment from the author on a David Goggins YouTube video. It's one of my fav books of this year. For 99c and 100 pages it's a perfect length and price. It really made me appreciate things in the US, and opened my eyes to what some places are like elsewhere. It will put things in perspective, especially with everything that has happened in 2020.

A Must Read

- Anthony Bowen

Looking at Sophal, I see a beautiful, strong and intelligent woman of God. She does not look like what she has been through. Her story is a story that has real emotions of going through the fire and coming out on the other side and not looking like what she has been through... This book was so good, it is truly a must read! Sophal talks about her struggles, overcoming obstacles and how it all lead to her journey to Faith and her relationship with God. She is an inspiration to many people from all walks of life who have a story of struggle and obstacles, not allowing your past to define your future but let it fuel you to a journey of faith. Sophal's story is a message of hope and journey to faith.
