what others say
"Dr. Maffin uses experiences from her own life journey both to discern the leading hand of God and to stimulate others to do the same. I know that many will find this style engaging and accessible as they seek to deepen their awareness of the immediate presence of God."
"I am a 30 year old mother of two (a preschooler and a toddler). I found your son's web page, Anglicans Online! I found his reference to your book this morning, and just read the first chapter. I am intrigued, and will get a copy as soon as I can. Your writing is clear, unpretentious, and spirit filled. The words leapt out at me, and I felt like crying. I also felt like flying. The mix of emotions in me was incredible, as your words spoke to my own heart and journey. Thank you for writing a book about the way God can get under your skin. I look forward to sharing it with my friends who also need confirmation that their hopes and strivings are real."
"This powerful book will help many to recognize and reflect on the ways in which God is active in our daily lives -- through the good and ordinary times as well as the painful and difficult ones. Disturbed by God is a story not only of joy but of trauma. It describes losing a marriage and a home, and dealing as a single parent. I am sure it will encourage many not to give up hope but to go on in faith, responding to the God who calls us. The Reflection Starters at the end of each chapter help us to look for and become aware of the signs of God, and to take the next step on our journey."
"What impresses me most about Disturbed by God is the Reflection Starters at the end of each chapter. The book is not simply to be read and enjoyed; it can also be used as a study book. For example, it would be useful for parish groups. In this way, people could be helped tremendously on their spiritaul journey. It is a good resource, and I commend it to many readers."
"I read the first chapter and am anxious to get the book. Will suggest to our clergy they might want to consider a short class on it -- perhaps a Lenten program. The brief excerpt of your book was very comforting -- knowing I am not the only one who has struggled repeatedly with faith and trusting in God."
