5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any Christian or those interested in spirituality, 1 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: God of Surprises (Paperback)
This is not a book you can rush. You have to take time over it. So often Eastern religions, as seen by Westerners, seem to have the monopoly on meditation and spirituality - when you think of Christians it is usually a different view that springs to mind! Nevertheless, this book is your reminder that there has always been a tradition in the Christian church of meditation, thought, questioning and acceptance and that it's not all about judgementalism, rules, giddy grins, oppression and superiority!

Gerard Hughes will not tell you what to do, so some may not like this because of that. He will, however, show you a way that you can find yourself, your position in life and your relationship with God. He shows that the relationship with God is a mystical experience as well as a Father-Child relationship.

So much modern Christian teaching seems to emphasise the child-like relationship with God. This book acknowledges that relationship, but starts you on the path through your Christian adolescence and into adulthood! It fills a great void and is a must for all Christians and should be read by all humans!

5.0 out of 5 stars An awe inspiring read for all denominations, 20 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: God of Surprises (Paperback)
A friend suggested I read this book as it changed her outlook on faith. Well it took my breath away too, with its insights into how to find God in your day to day life during both the highs and lows.

For anyone searching or expressing doubts or looking to re-affirm their faith then in my opinion there is no better book.

A wonderful practical exposition of faith, this book will be a modern classic. If you haven't read it, I urge you to do so now!

Have heard Gerard Hughes speak at a local Church and he was superb. His insight, wisdom and the way he challenges your faith is like a breath of fresh air blowing throughout the whole Christian church.

This book is for ALL denominations and one that I have found myself returning to. .... and if you get the chance to hear him speak on Church unity, do not pass it up!...... Tremendous!

5.0 out of 5 stars God does not have a long beard and a short temper., 19 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: God of Surprises (Paperback)
This book changed me. It cuts through all the religious clap-trap and goes to the heart of the gospel. Gerry dispenses with the God who is ready to punish us for our faults and failings and portrays a God who welcomes all of us. If your faith is in any way tinged by fear, read this. You will leave behind childish, non-thinking Christianity and enter the world of faith. I am a priest and have given this book to many, many people who have been seeking spiritual growth. Everyone loved it. 5 star.
