Customer Reviews

A God that cares about the little things!

As a mother of 4 boys, I often feel overworked and stressed as the duties of daily life DEMAND my attention. I often make mistakes and I have often felt like it is impossible to lead the life that Christianity alludes to but always seems just out of reach. Reading Escape to God gave me renewed courage and insight into how to really have a personal walk with Jesus as a best friend. Any mother feels a need for insights into how to be a better person as life presses in upon her. I would declare that any person who wants to not be led by circumstances but be renewed into a closer walk with God must read this book. It has changed my life.

ABC's of a genuie Christian experience

I found this book very inspiring. Mr. Hohnberger has a way of cutting through the rhetoric and jargon of Christianity and revealing the very practical principles of how to know God in the 21st century. I would recommend this book to any person who feels their life experience unfulfilling and to any Christian that wants to go deeper with God.

Life Changing Story

This book is a MUST-READ! I'm a "Show Me" type, not much impressed with words, but actions? Action catches my attention! This book is crammed full of stories of Jim's personal experiences, his "action". He doesn't talk theory, he shares his life and how his walk with God happens. The read is easy. The stories are ones I can identify with. It's almost like being there with Jim, walking that walk. This book inspires and delivers hope. I CAN have this kind of experience! If Jim can, I can. THANK GOD!!!! And YES! It works! Onward and UPWARD!!

Practical direction for your walk with God

If there is one book to read this year to strengthen your relationship with God this is it. A walk with God is a gift for anyone who makes that connection the most important decision of each day. It is just a matter of choices. Escape to God is a practical and honest narrative of one man's successful attempt to find God's purpose for his life, his marriage and family. I believe it will change your view of what is valuable in your journey through life as you find God speaking to you. Be prepared for a change. It is a book to keep and read again. It is a book to share. Buy two.
