Out of the Blue, March 19, 2003
This review is from: Finding God, Finding Each Other How Our Marriage Was Saved By The Power Of God (Paperback)
I went to school and played high school football with Dr. Ruhl. He sent me this book out of the blue as we had not seen each other for many years. Strangely enough, it arrived at a difficult time for me. I took an afternoon off and read the book. This is not a panagyric or metaphysical homage though the inspiration for "finding each other" was communion with Jesus. Instead, the spiritual messages the author and his wife experienced were simple truths, basic guidelines that have illuminated a path the couple have since taken, an illumination, one suspects, would ever after guide them whenever that path came to a fork and another choice had to be made. The author's honesty, self-examination and acceptance of responsibility in the hardships he and his wife faced, make the book an informative read and one that enables the reader to easily identify with the situations, be they arguements, interaction with kids, job interviews and, even, happiness. Dr. Ruhl (Vinnie to me) was a helluva lineman and saved me from a lot of sacks but he's an even better writer.

Finding God and Finding Each Other, May 4, 2001
This review is from: Finding God, Finding Each Other How Our Marriage Was Saved By The Power Of God (Paperback)
For those who believe that marriages can't be saved after tragedy, this book proves not only that they can be, but that life can be even better through the power of a committed relationship with God. A truly remarkable story and one that the reader will never forget. Awe inspiring. I feel very fortunate to have read this.
