5.0 out of 5 stars God.com rocks!, June 30, 2000

By	stu (Bend, Oregon) - See all my reviews

Just read James Langteaux's excellent, excellent book, God.com. One of the best books I have ever read! It rocks! It's frank, honest, very witty, humorous, a bit irreverant and it speaks to the very generation we're ALL living in. (O.K. and I also got more than a little teary eyed reading it). God.com engages so well the disenfranchised, the disaffected, to those that maybe have grown up in a Christian home but never made the leap to their own faith. It also speaks to the millions who have grown up as products of divorce, who have longed to have a Father they could trust unflinchingly with their very lives. James Langteaux gets high marks for his very innovative style, prose, and layout of the book. He has done a bold thing with the release of God.com. I'm sure some won't get it and maybe others it will offend, but that's O.K. It's not intended for those who have arrived on their spiritual journey, or I should say who think they have arrived, but in reality have never left the station. James Langteaux has really broken some barriers with this call to a revolution to believe beyond what we can see; a call to extreme intimacy with a highly interactive God. It's clear from this book that God rocks James Langteaux and God.com will rock the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dialogue with GOD, July 15, 2000

By	Laurie (Dana Point, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I loved this because it is a sincere attempt at portraying an intimate relationship with GOD. James is honest and transparent in telling us about his constant contact with GOD. He reveals so much about himself and his life and his sins. He also talks about GOD's grace and how he has been forgiven and he today is a willing instrument for GOD's purpose. His journey of surrender is inspiring. I love that he makes it clear that we all have the ability to pray and to listen and hear GOD's will for us. He shows us how to be in relationship with GOD. He teaches us how to pray! This book is a Post-modern blessing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Supernatural Father!, July 14, 2000

By	Ginger (California) - See all my reviews

First I want to address the gentleman's review from Boston. I,too, had never had God "speak" to me as James relates in God.com. But, on Dec. 8, l999, He spoke most clearly and supernaturally through His Word, and others to my mind and heart.

In the months prior, I had been privileged to read a draft of God.com. I did not know the author at the time. As I read its pages, I was deeply touched at the transparency of the writer, his poetical phrasing, and more than that, the supernatural relationship he opened himself up to with our Heavenly Father. I wanted that, thinking it was only reserved for the "sacrifical Christian", the missionary, etc. I asked God for that relationship with Him for the first time in my 26 years as a believer.

Little did I know He would answer so quickly, for on that Dec. 8, l999, my 27 year old son was diagnosed with brain cancer. God was there...in my face, His love overwhelmingly evident. He spoke to me in my mind and in my heart. He showed me who He was way before "what He was going to do." For six days He continued to unfold for me His supernatural life He wanted me to have from then on with Him.

You see, Our Father, wants that for all His children, but we put Him in our box and see Him through our eyes. God.com challenges us to see, to believe, to hunger for that supernatural walk He so willingly wants to give us and anyone who seeks after Him. But, first we must let down the masks, lay our heart and soul bare before a Mighty God, before He can begin that supernatural work in us.

Is God.com our Bible? No. But, it clearly calls us to live a more radical life, sold out to Him, through the Living Word of a Holy God!

To the searcher, God.com makes a Holy God more real, more relational, without relinquishing who He is. He is just there calling you to a transformed life in Him; asking you to "believe" and He will take you from there with no looking back.

I thank God daily for using James to write His words through James' life. It is ongoing for him. It is ongoing for us. Please join me and others as we walk with James and Our God through the pages of the supernatural walk He has planned for us. It is an absolute joy in spite of the circumstances!

By the way, my son is fine...no secondary treatment, no cancer. And you know what----God also likes us to dance with Him. I'm learning that, too. The twirls and dips are amazing as He leads the way.

Please buy God.com and encourage your friends to also. God will change your heart where only He can through it. God Bless.
