The best gift you can give yourself is to read this book out loud to children. Not only are they great stories to read, but like poetry they come alive and take on a new dimension when you hear them being read aloud. I suddenly found another layer to each tale as I read them to my 13 and my 16 year old son. We have given several of them to friends as Christmas gifts. When you read the book, you will know why. The author has a great folksy style, rich with symbolism.

This is not your typical Christian book. It didn't feel or sound religious, but still hit hard. Stunning word pictures. Unique settings. Esau definitely strays outside the lines...I like that. This book is certainly worth your time and $s.

I've read the book and have heard the author read the stories. Every time I read the stories I see more examples of incredible writing and how incredible God's work is in my life. Esau grabs your attention and then reveals surprise endings with potent meanings. Great for everyone in your life. I gave it to my parents for their 35th wedding anniversary.

These stories are incredible. I got chills while reading them. They are the type that, after reading, make you want to phone your best friend and tell it again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I'm giving this as a gift to dozens of friends this Christmas.

The first time I ever heard of Terry Esau (author) was when at the book release for Blue Collar God/ White Collar God at a bookstore (I think somewhere near?). I was moved by his stories and insight - and knew I wanted to read the book. I now recommend it to anyone interested in finding God because it gives fun short stories that touch the soul and challenge the mind in who we think God might be. After reading this book, I found myself looking at those around me with a more compassionate love.

This book was much harder for me to get into and enjoy, though I loved his 'Surprise Me' book.

Terry Esau did a great interview on Coast2Coast radio Saturday night. I think he believes everything he writes; it's all good.
Terry should read Running Out Of Road. I think he would relate to it in a spiritual way. Keep up the great work, Terry! RMA:-)

In "Blue Collar God" Esau airdrops God into our world, and the splash is significant. It soaked me, anyhow, in a good way. I loved this book!

The book is unimpressive. And me and church friends were disappointed in his whining with the host. EMBARRASSING. He criticized the show's content as 'funky'. His tone throughout his appearance was like he was too good to appear on the show. Simply disappointing. What a disgrace.
