Product Description
How would you feel if you thought God wrote a personal note to you…on His website…and it was about some of the stuff that makes you wonder if He really exists at all? This book does make you feel…while it makes you think. Maybe God isn’t who we thought He was. Maybe His thoughts aren’t what we have been taught. God’s Blogs contains some insightful, fresh thoughts that help us see more of God’s character, His love, and His grace as He reflects on marriage, death, laughter, dads, and questions like “Why are we here?” and, “What about tsunamis and poverty?” A fascinating read that will make you laugh and cry and search your own thoughts about who He is.
What Might God Say on His Blogsite?
Basically I’m entering into your blogdom because somehow the rumor got started that I was kind of boring. For those of you who bought into that craziness, you should know that I’m the one who created all the stuff you love…all the stuff that makes life exciting.
I invented funny and laughter.
I created adventure and romance…
I laugh a lot.

Fresh, Insightful, Quick-ReadReview by Laurence T. Baxter, 2010-04-30
The title of this small book caught my attention recently and I sat down to read it. I wasn't sure what to expect, a social-media like paraphrase from the Bible, or a semi-random set of short entries from the perspective of "What if God blogged?" It's the latter, as Donoho shares some fresh and insightful perspectives on how God views the world, revealing his character and love. He considers marriage, laughter, death, poverty, why we're here, blowing bubbles, and a lot more.
One of my favorite entries was on prayer. "I love human beings. Today I listened to millions of them talk to Me. They use the word 'pray.' Today 212 people in Keokuk, Iowa, prayed that it would rain, while almost at the same time 124 people in the same town saw clouds and prayed that it wouldn't rain." He then described how the prayers sounded. Pretty fun, or pretty sad, in several ways convicting. He continues "But I never meant for prayer to be like a vending machine, or Santa Claus. You put in your time in asking, and you ask just right and hold your moth the right way... and you wait for Me to come through for you. - That isn't prayer! Prayer is relationship. It's an ongoing conversation between you and Me - two people who want to get to know each other better. Sure, I don't mind you asking for things. Daddies like that. They just don't want to be all about responding to requests." It's insights like these and fresh perspectives that make the book a very useful read (as well as very funny at times).
highly recommend!

This was a great read and a wonderful interpretation of God and what God has to say to us. I loved every minute of it and gave it to our graduating seniors as well.
