This is an excellent for anyone who has ever dreamed on visiting the "not so beaten paths of England. In each nook and cranny, Mr. Smith not only describes the beauty of the surroundings, but also weaves a touching testimony of how God is in all things. Each chapter unfolds another thought provoking revelation of nature and of God.

This book is wonderful! I received it as a gift about a year ago and just rediscovered it. If you've ever been to England or have dreamed of going you should read this book. The author makes some very valid points about faith and living life that I had never thought about before. The chapters are short enough to read one every night before you go to bed (that's what I do). I would strongly encourage you to buy this book. It has been a true blessing to me.

I love this book and am pleased to see there is now an Apple iPhone App available called Meeting God, that can be obtained in the Apps store.

Having visited some of the places near where the author lives while in England, this was very enjoyable to read. His analogies between God's Word and his surroundings in the Cotswolds were spot on. I also feel close to God when I'm in the Cotswolds.

This beautifully written book is perfect for use as a daily devotional. There are 31 wonderful "stories" (parables as the title calls them), one for every day of the month. The author pulls you in to the Cotswolds (an area in England that is breathtaking) with his charming reflections and draws a comparison to many of life's journeys -- your life, my life, everyone's.

If you are going to visit the English countryside, you must read. This book conveys the essence of how to enjoy all the Cotswolds have to offer. The spiritual truths the author talks about will bare witness with the spirit in your heart when you experience what a peaceful place the Cotswolds are.
