What "early readers" say about The Last Great Adventure

During the blog phase of The Last Great Adventure project, I got a lot of positive comments, both written and verbal about the content. But the problem was that in the blog format, it was hard to read THE WHOLE STORY. So during the publishing process, I sent galley edit copies to several of my friends to see what they thought. Here's a few of the endorsements they gave:

"The common thread that runs through the healing process is God's grace; and “The Last Great Adventure” is an expression of that grace as it brings healing to a broken heart."
Pastor Mike Callis, Liberty Church

“This is not a book about death, but quite the contrary. This book is about the blessed hope that we all have in Jesus Christ. I laughed, I cried and I longed for the day when we who are called His children can join in on this adventure.”

Shane Forbis- Lead Pastor, Ignition Church

“(The author) takes literal "to do above all we could ask or imagine" to a whole new level. Phil allows you to read his heart. Thrilling! An enjoyable read.”   

Rick Graves, Senior Pastor, Lewisburg First Church of the Nazarene 

“Nearly all parents have dreams for their children’s lives.  The death of a child can shatter those dreams…or maybe just change them.  In “The Last Great Adventure,” Phil gives you the insight of the new dream he has for his child—one of wonder and amazement—a dream that can inspire us all.”

Craig Gleerup, Author, The Type of Marriage That Endures

There are others...and we'll put them up here, but the only other thing I would say about one of these endorsements is that when one of these gentlemen was reading his copy, he called me up one morning and said, "I'm so excited I feel like running through a wall right now!" I assume that meant he liked it.

Heaven has that effect on people.
