"Well done! The most fundamental theological argument is healing and wholeness is not something that is magically/miraculously provided by God's hand without our involvement, but that it is what can happen when we involve ourselves with God—through prayer, through our pursuit of faith, through connecting our stories to the biblical stories...I resonate deeply with this conviction." -- Gil Rendle, Author and Ordained Minister with the United Methodist Church

"I'm especially grateful for Bruce's approach for those of us who are always searching for accessible and honest resources and practical guidance in growing our faith. Bruce uses a wonderful variety of contemporary and biblical stories to help us understand how God can work in extraordinary was through ordinary people who are willing to work with God." -- Tom Locke, President of the Texas Methodist Foundation

"For the first time in my life, I read a book from start to finish in a single seating. I found this book easy to read and impossible to put down. A compliment! I can easily relate to the characters and the wonderful stories told throughout the book."  -- Emmitt Gibson, Retired 2-star General, Army

"The chapters on Prayer and Grieving were the ones that resonated with me the most. I was glad to see just how personal our prayers can be and how much God wants us to communicate with Him. I pray that people reading the book will be encouraged to try the ways the book suggested, in order to lead them to a more intimate prayer life. The book will be therapeutic to readers!" -- Nancy Duttry, Advance Reader

"A solid and extraordinarily well written book. Theologically the book is well constructed and accurate. I appreciated the stories and connection to Gospels. A Jesus-centric book that reminds us of that Christ is the central and guiding force in our lives. Hope precedes faith, which in turn precedes trust in God. This book elegantly ties this concept together."  -- Ken Mann, Senior Pastor, Baptist Church
