“I couldn’t put this book down! I read it straight through with my heart pounding all the way. It caused me to recall the numerous times when God has shown up in my life. Sometimes after fervent prayer; other times, totally unexpected. And, so many times, beyond my wildest dreams. I highly recommend this book to you.”
—Joe Kempston, author of A Boy Named Joey
“Lance Brown has taken the questions that many Christians ask, especially in difficult times, and explained it in a way that touches every heart. God is with us all the time. He appears through people we meet and interact with, sometimes we notice and others we do not, but the fact is that God never leaves us alone. The book made me cry, smile, and have hope. It is worth reading and using as a tool to inspire families to have hope too.”
—Tanas Alqassis, regional manager, Church Missionary Society
“This survival story is laced with one fork in the road after another. Should we stop, slow down, go forward, go backward—all the questions we ask ourselves when confronted with danger. Yet, in the midst of all this tension there is hope and the realization that there is a God who cares. Enjoy reading a book that captures our human condition with a God who is committed to walk with us.”
—Foster Walsh, retired professor, Gonzaga University
“This book is a sincerely relatable tale told through powerful images. Lance Brown’s readers go to places he has deeply explored, geographically and spiritually. Everyone will understand the boys’ path of discovery as they uncover their relationship to each other, their shared faith, and their relationship to God.”
—Nancy Linn Goodman, secondary English teacher
“The use of story is central to God’s story of salvation throughout Scripture. It has been used repeatedly throughout Christian history to help us understand the depths of God’s loving activity in our lives. So, this tradition continues in the fresh narrative contained in the pages of this book. In my view, Lance Brown has given us a great story that takes place in one of the most beautiful places in America, and opens our minds and hearts to our Real, Big, Good God (RBG God).”
—Dan McDonald, retired pastor
“I know of few other people who robustly love life and God like Lance Brown. No wonder his story-telling ability shines when he speaks and writes. In a world of broken relationships and hunger for meaning, this book will lift your spirits as it reflects a picture of God from a vantage point you will fall in love with. Brown takes the Lord from some nebulous ‘spirit in the sky’ or a stern taskmaster to a delightful, caring, and tangible person you’ll find irresistible.”
—Linda J. MacDonald, licensed marriage and family therapist
