Life changing book

I have read this book twice, once by myself, then with my husband. Then we lent it to friends, and we recommend it to everyone, along with the Hohnberger's book "Come to the Quiet." This is the life most of us long for...simple, down to earth, a connected family, connected with our Maker. I appreciate so much Jim's heart and his love for God and his family. I have met and talked with Jim and Sally in person, and they are lovely people who take the time to speak with you and you can clearly see their heart for God. Amazing family who did what most of us only dream and talk of. Thank You, God, for this family.

Awesome guide to a better living

Mr. Hohnberger found what all of us are still looking for. We believe that God is present all times to support us, however we hardly feel His presence among us. Our lifes are so busy that we forget the precious things. Learning how to stop and get off the train is the most interesting lesson from this book. You should take a break of your really busy schedule and read this master piece. GREAT BOOK. INSPIRED BY GOD.

Personal relationship and Forever Friend...

This book wonderfully presents God's personal interest in every part of our lives. For whatever reason, the book may not speak the same to every individual. I found myself excited to see such a profound book written to help searchers looking for a more personal relationship with God and to aid in getting beyond several walls that certain practice of religion has built. It further illustrates the true power and freedom found within a continual and personal walk with our Creator and Redeemer that just attending church or schooling at a seminary cannot provide. I can personally testify, with many stories in my life, to the fact that God does care about the minute details of our lives.

Life as God created it to be

This book has completely changed my view on knowing and following God's will for my life. At first it is easy to think that one needs to escape the life they currently lead and head for a remote location. But read on to find the real secret to "hearing God's voice".

Inspirating book!

I have known and met the author, Jim Hohnberger for a few years. It speaks about how God worked through his daily life. He shared about his life experience with his family. How to submit our self to God. Are we really ready to listen for God's voice? What powerful words from God! How he explained to people how they could live better lives. Why did he leave the city? Because God impressed him that in the city he was be so occupied with other things that he wasn't working for God and didn't have time to work with his family. When he was in the country he had time to be with and help his family and he experienced how to live the way God wanted him to live. How God worked through Jim's heart. I have heard that many of people was changed through by God's grace. I recommended this book.
