That's how the spiritual journey should be!" Brian McLaren Author--A New Kind of Christian, Pastor



	"Terry writes in a fresh voice for people who don't want to just know about God but would like to run into him (or vice versa). Read it and be surprised." John Ortberg Author--Everyone's Normal Till You Get To Know Them, Pastor



	"Terry Esau's voice as he scouts for evidence of the Almighty is casual and generous, sometimes skipping to the deep end of the pool when we least expect it. Surprise Me is a reminder not merely to pray but to watch for (and enjoy) the unpredictable answer." Leif Enger Author--Peace Like a River



	"In this gem of a book, Terry Esau writes with wit, humor, and grace about the little miracles of connection and complication we all encounter daily and hourly.

	"Candor, warm wit, and insight abound as fellow sojourner Terry Esau chronicles his personal epiphanic test drive of present-moment living. Surprise Me invites each of us to discover the heart of what it means to practice the presence of God: Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. Today is here." Karla Yaconelli CEO of Youth Specialties



	"Surprise Me is a simple wake-up-and-live, non-formulaic exercise in spending our days with God. This is a good read, and an even better way to live." Gregg Steinhafel President, Target Corporation



	"The breezy conversation of Surprise Me belies its brave mission: this is the real time recording of one man's quest for his God. The author seeks not the Lord of gilded chariots and fiery glory, but the Creator of the quotidian, the artisan of everyday life. And he discovers that God is the one seeking us: between the frames of the movie; in the sleeping breaths of our spouses, on the holy land that constitutes the street where we live. The Surprise Me surprise is the amazing abundance of God's love for anyone willing to answer the door and let Him in." John Olson CEO/Whiz Kidd--Olson + Company Ad Agency



	"The spiritual life is first about seeing, and seeing well. This book will teach you to do that in most ordinary and exciting ways. Once you learn how to see you will “know” God for yourself and not just "believe." Richard Rohr Author--Everything Belongs



	"Surprise me is an invitation to an open-eyed, optimistic life with God. Terry Esau uses his unique perspective in creating an irresistable invitation to live with God in the here and now. This is a wonderful book." Doug Pagitt Author of BodyPrayer



	"In Terry Esau's Surprise Me we see that the Christian experience is not so much about fancy theological arguments, but about a day-to-day life vibrantly finger-painted by the joyful hand of God." Ian Punnett Radio talk-show guru



	"Do you remember how the TV show, Seinfeld, was a show about nothing? Well...I'm certainly not saying that this book is about "nothing", but it's not what I expected. It's about everyday life and how God meets us there... or maybe we meet him... I don't know. All I do know is that I will never be able to look at another day as simply being "ordinary." This book hit me between the eyes. But then again, knowing Terry, that really doesn't Surprise Me. " Neal Joseph Exec. Pastor, Fellowship Bible, Nashville



	"If you want to read something fresh and new-and enjoy every minute of the journey-you'll want to grab onto Terry Esau's SURPRISE ME! My wife and friends often joke that I write more books than I read, but this book is more than enough reason to leave my computer and turn some great pages!" Steve Gottry Co-Author--The On-Time, On-Target Manager (with Ken Blanchard)
