Awakening March 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My life in the past year has been an awakening - a series of conversions or events that have brought me closer to God. Reading this book was one of those events, and for this I humbly thank-you, Jim Palmer.
You reintroduced me to the Christ that I rebuked when I could not disassociate doctrine or dogma from the Spirit. I threw it all out, and it nearly killed me. The past year has been both horrible and wonderful for me. Wonderful in that I am awakening from a great sleep and horrible because I'm realizing the most of my life I slept.
As a father of four, I hope and pray that my children can gather similar insights into the precious, loving kindness of God.
I sent both of your books to two of my closest friends. I love it when I find a great gift!
 I enjoyed it very much. March 1, 2008

This is not a Bible study book, for anyone looking for that type of book. It is the refections of a guy who hit the wall and found meaning in surprising places. Think of this book as sitting on a park bench listening to a stranger tell you their life story when you simply ask, "How are you?" If you are like me, you will sit quietly, smile, laugh, and shed an occasional tear as you hear the accounts of the stranger. While I don't agree completely with all of Jim's conclusions, I'd like to believe I'm mature enough to glean from all the good within the book. God used the accounts of the waitress and checkout clerk to affect some needed change in my life.
Another Nobody who is only somebody because of Christ,
Loved it February 18, 2008
I loved this book. It was not cliche or fluff -- it was real and thought provoking. It was not "preachy", but left you to draw your own insights.
Great Follow-up After Reading "The Shack" January 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I read "The Shack" by William P. Young over Christmas vacation. I personally loved it, but I am not a huge fan of fiction. So when I was searching around on Amazon I came across "Divine Nobodies" as a similar type book, although not fiction. So I decided to pick it up. "Divine Nobodies" was the best follow-up to "The Shack" because it is non-fiction/true. I enjoyed each of the chapters and was very encouraged that a walk with God should be so freeing and real. "Divine Nobodies" helped me to see how it can all be carried out in our normal everyday lives. Pick it up you won't be disappointed.
Ever wonder if there is more to faith than religion? December 25, 2007
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Jim Palmer gives us examples of the Jesus he sees in others, giving skin and words to the message of Christ in ways most churches wouldn't dream of. This book is great for people of religious traditions that have a lot of theology and tradition and that seem to claim an exclusive monopoly on Jesus at the expense of other Christian denominations. It will help you branch out and understand that the God whom you are seeking to find is sooooo much bigger than any religious tradition. Many people I have met who come from very "conservative" Christian denominations often do not understand that there is a difference between religion and faith as all that they have been taught is that you need one to have the other. This book helps one shed the shackles of that archaic idea and allows one to breathe the fresh, new air of spiritual freedom, released from well-intentioned yet misguided religious traditions through the experiences Jim has had with various people along the way. It makes a lot of sense to me that we will learn much, much more about Jesus from the sorts of people that He hung out with than from Fathers or Pastors or Priests. Jim allows us to share in his experiences and grow in our knowledge of Christ.
