Interview with God [Hardcover]

Reata Strickland (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 29, 2002

A MESSAGE OF HOPE FOR EVERYONE

On May 29, 2001, Reata Strickland posted a version of Interview with God on a local church Web site in Alabama, with no announcements or advertising. Within a week 500,000 people had heard about it and taken a look. Soon, the numbers reached well into the millions, and they have been growing steadily ever since. God's message, which gently points out our failings while reminding us of what really matters in life, has become an astonishing success, reaching out and touching people around the world.

Now, in this beautiful full-color edition enhanced by many new photographs and a Foreword by Reata Strickland, Interview with God can be treasured and shared, time and again.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

On May 29 of last year, Alabama Web designer Reata Strickland discovered an anonymously written "Interview with God" and posted it on her local congregation's Web site. There was no advertising or promotion, but within a week half a million people had visited the site, and by July it had 13 million hits. In Interview with God, a small gift book from the Free Press, Strickland offers the original posting's simple text with rather predictable nature photography (obligatory shots of sunsets, mountains, fall foliage, etc.). Strickland is listed here as the designer and editor of the book; its authorship is still in question. Will the real author of the "Interview with God" please stand up?

5.0 out of 5 stars soul moving, January 20, 2002

This review is from: Interview with God (Hardcover)

My daughter just lost a very special young man to suicide, she is heart broken and deeply saddened, this made us move to tears, but in a wonderful way. I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one or just needs some spiritual guidance or simply to look at as a lover of life. Thank You Reata and to Suzy the woman who sent it to us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Pictures - Powerful Messages, February 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Interview with God (Hardcover)

This little book is brief, with only a sentence or two on a page. But, the message is powerful. As a parent, I especially liked the back third of the book that asks the question, "God, as a parent, what is it you think my kids need to know?" The photography in the book is quite awe inspiring. Would be a great gift book for anyone who you love or are close to...
