great book

This is an amazing book that will improve anyone's relationship with God and give them a more godly perspective on life.

True believer

These stories are so inspiring for believers as well as non-believers. They show that the Lord is working in the lives of those that are listening to Him and desiring a relationship with Him. These stories by a simple man, will teach you how to have a daily walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

It reads like the man talks

I might be considered to have a bias because I know the author, but hear me out. When reading the book, I know the words are heartfelt and sincere because it reads just how John would talk, if he was standing there relating the stories in person. It's billed as a Christian book, but I think it's more a book about how to live a full life, properly and with grace. For those who are turned off by the "Christian" moniker, be aware that there is much more to this book than that. It's not preachy or condescending. It is more of a man's search for how to live his life within the arms of his God. You don't need to be a Christian to appreciate this. A sincere and devout agnostic, Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim would find much in here that is thoughtful and inspiring. For those who are Christians, it has a more personal level. It asks questions about your personal faith and acknowledges the need to spend time in prayer and contemplation. It doesn't take long to read, and once you begin it, it's hard to put down. Some of these stories will bring a tear to your eye. Don't be embarassed by that. It means John has done his job well.

The Lord and The Landscaper

This book shows that you don't have to be someone who is full-time in the ministry to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, His Son. It's exciting to be able to recognize God's hand at work in things that we would consider to be routine--our day-to-day affairs. To know that the God who created the universe wants to be close to us and cares about our lives is amazing. John Gordon gives example after example in this easy-to-read yet profound book. I recommend it for everyone.The Lord and the Landscaper: Stories to Challenge Your Walk with God
