5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Counterbalance, February 9, 2009

By	Paul Sanders (Santa Cruz, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In a time of war, terrorism, and economic disarray, "Thrill Ride" is a wonderful counterbalance to stress and worry. This friendly, easy read kept a smile on my face throughout. Neither dogmatic nor preachy, the author uses humor and personal examples of everyday heroes to speak to the presence of a gracious and loving God. If you sometimes feel caught up in the roller coaster of life, you will appreciate this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life is a ride, February 5, 2009

By	Ernest Laubacher (Pacific Grove, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author is a great storyteller and with a good sense of humor. He spoke to me in many of his illustrations about the ups and downs in life.
I believe people who read this book will relate to these in their own life. I was blessed and it didn't take six hundred pages to tell it!

3.0 out of 5 stars An Easy Read to help get thru Life, May 16, 2009

By	Linda Gravis (Soquel, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a small book that is easy to read. It is written by a Pastor and uses Biblical references, but I think many would find it helpful, even if they aren't extremely religious. It has humor and is down-to-earth in lessons to help us get thru the tough times, and help with our attitude.
