Every journey takes us somewhere and we’re never quite the person that we were at the beginning of that journey. His Eye Is On The Sparrow is a turning, twisting road towards the Journey Maker. It’s a journey we are invited on by Joong Ki as he walks us through his early days of isolation, toughness, and stigma. It’s a quest as Joong Ki becomes David Pearman and continues to take us toward a destination known by Him from the very beginning.

This story is strong, not only in the stark differences between the beginning and the end, but in the nuanced ways that changes come about and how “random” is really connected when we look back with David and see the dots joined together. His Eye is on the Sparrow is an invitation into David’s life that also opens a window of reflection into our own lives. At the end of this memoir, you won’t be the same person that you were beforehand, but you will know, in new and surprising ways, how His eye is on you too.
