God's Phone Number [Paperback]

Bob Trask (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1987

GOD'S PHONE NUMBER tells us who God really is how God's relationship to us is one of assistance and love. The Author begins the story as a sea captain in the midst of a hurricane with boats sinking and people dying all around. In the heart of the storm he feels a presence that miraculously guides him to bring his ship and passengers through the storm undamaged. The incident changed his life and awakened in him an understanding of how we can reach the mind of God and access the great power of love available for us there. The ideas of this book have been put to use by tens of thousands of the author's students. And the uplift in their lives is a testamony to the fact that the books truths really work for us.

It was from this book and Bob Trask's work that Neale Walsche found the inspiration for his book Conversations With God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transformative book exploring who god really is, March 23, 1999

This review is from: God's Phone Number (Paperback)

In an age of an endless supply of mushy "spirituality" books, this reading is a must. On the high sea with hurricane force winds, faced with certain doom, Trask finds himself with no logical resource for escape. He knows too well as captain his crew and passengers, as well as himself, will soon be lost to the sea. In the height of his desperation and despair, Trask's concept of who god is forever shattered. It is here that Trask has a spiritual awakening and experiences God firsthand enabling him to save his ship and crew. With this dramatic start, Bob then examines mankind's relationship with God and how this relationship may be accessed on a daily basis. In a fresh perspective, Trask examines the teachings and wisdom of Jesus and it's application to daily life without pulling any punches.

5.0 out of 5 stars A direct line to my heart and spirit....., November 6, 2002

This review is from: God's Phone Number (Paperback)

Trask has an amazing way of getting inside complex issues and unwinding them for me.

With crises like the war in Afghanistan, or between Israel and Palestine, or at home with 911 it has become easy to get lost in the negativity. God's Phone Number is about tapping into the internal guidance system, given to us all. It is about finding the power within to go after ones dreams.

I found it easy to read, the whole time I felt like he had his hand on my shoulder and was speaking directly to me. I have read a number of Trask's works and each has helped me to understand myself better and get excited about `tomorrow'. He writes in the language of the everyday person always honest and factual, and filled with a love of life.

In times like these where it is easy to get lost or feel alone, I recommend you pick up a copy of this book. Treat yourself for the next week to something that will change your life forever.....It has mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars God's Phone Number, January 6, 2002

By 

Eleanor Clark (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: God's Phone Number (Paperback)

Truth, as Bob Trask defines it, has no cracks in it. That's what makes this book refreshing, this spiritual master says that religious beliefs that don't make sense, are usually nonsense. He tells the story of being nearly killed in a hurricane and watching all his old beliefs blow away, a perfect storm that transformed him from a sea captain to an internationally known spiritual leader. This book is so simple and yet so profound, just truth, told with great humor and adventurous stories. After I read this book, I found that a lot of my problems just went away. I'm giving this book to everyone I know.
