This review is from: Escape to God: How Our Family Left the Rat Race Behind to Search for Genuine Spirituality and the Simple Life (Paperback)

This book has completely changed my view on knowing and following God's will for my life. At first it is easy to think that one needs to escape the life they currently lead and head for a remote location. But read on to find the real secret to "hearing God's voice".

This review is from: Escape to God: How Our Family Left the Rat Race Behind to Search for Genuine Spirituality and the Simple Life (Paperback)

Mr. Hohnberger found what all of us are still looking for. We believe that God is present all times to support us, however we hardly feel His presence among us. Our lifes are so busy that we forget the precious things. Learning how to stop and get off the train is the most interesting lesson from this book. You should take a break of your really busy schedule and read this master piece. GREAT BOOK. INSPIRED BY GOD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal relationship and Forever Friend..., January 31, 2004

This review is from: Escape to God: How Our Family Left the Rat Race Behind to Search for Genuine Spirituality and the Simple Life (Paperback)

This book wonderfully presents God's personal interest in every part of our lives. For whatever reason, the book may not speak the same to every individual. I found myself excited to see such a profound book written to help searchers looking for a more personal relationship with God and to aid in getting beyond several walls that certain practice of religion has built. It further illustrates the true power and freedom found within a continual and personal walk with our Creator and Redeemer that just attending church or schooling at a seminary cannot provide. I can personally testify, with many stories in my life, to the fact that God does care about the minute details of our lives.
