Nice, cute little stories. The author, a pastor, relates stories about the action of God in his life.

[Doris Powell]

I really liked this book as well as his first one. I liked his down- to- earth examples of what he is talking about. Too often religious writers reached way over the layman's and laywoman's head. The author's examples are ones I could easily connect with. For example, I especially liked his section about stories of God's absence. Sandy could never forgive God for her mother's cancer and hers also. She laid on her death bed with a priest holding her hand and simply died, still unforgiving. Muir Woods was another example, a spooky place especially when a person is lost. God appears to be nowhere. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Good stories about faith in God.

A Catholic pastor in Chicago relates his experiences that reaffirm his belief in God. Enjoyable reading but it felt a little self-centered to me.
