What Other People Are Saying About the Book…

Once I finished a draft of the book, I asked people I knew – some I knew well and some I had only recently met -- to take a look and give me some quick comments. I pointedly did not ask for praise, but for “honest responses,” since only those would be helpful in editing the book. Here are excerpts from their comments.
-----------------------------------------

“This work has the potential to be the most influential book in our time. It exudes spiritual authenticity as it is well-grounded in human experience. It advances a way to embrace spirituality in oneself. As your own experience, the work is anchored in our time, our experience.”
- Celeste Colgan, Ph.D. (English), former Deputy Chairman, National Endowment for the Humanities

-----------------------------------------

“If there is a God, this is what he sounds like.”
- Stephen H. Balch, Founding President, National Association of Scholars

-----------------------------------------

“Thanks for this wonderful gift. This is a remarkable document. I’m only two-thirds though, and I’m anxious to see how things turn out.”
- Wesley Morriston, Ph.D. (Philosophy), Professor of Philosophy, University of Colorado at Boulder; Board Member, Society of Christian Philosophers)

-----------------------------------------

“I am reading your draft slowly as a devotional and am so full of thoughts and feelings about it that it is hard to know where to begin. I think this is very important. Much of it sounds like God to me, sounds like how what I take to be God sounds in those moments when I am in touch (and I am struck by how very in-touch you are, how constantly). The freshness of the talk, so fresh it makes you laugh -- I experience God that way. The wisdom. The love. The reproach when necessary (how God exits when ego enters).”
- Jeanine Diller, Ph.D. (Philosophy), Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of Toledo

-----------------------------------------

“It is one of the most intriguing, unusual, passionate things I have ever read. It is very special.”
- Matthew Foster, Ph.D. (Theology), Associate Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, Molloy College
