"I am trying to figure out how to tell you how your book made me feel, in a letter that can be mailed in a normal-sized envelope. I don't think I can.... I smiled. I cried. I laughed. My head shut up for awhile and listened. My hart stood on its tiptoes and reaches up to the sky and thanked God for the gift of today.... I am going to keep it in my purse so that when I lose my perspective or panic or feel ready to throw in the towel, I can read it again and be certain, once more, that I am loved by a God who is good."

Sandy S., Cherokee IA

"Throughout the past three years I've been on a spiritual quest. I've been reading the Bible, spiritual books written by Yogis, New Age books written by people who received messages from Mother Mary (mother of Jesus), listening to American gurus like Dr. Wayne Dyer, teachings of the Buddha, Tao Te Ching, etc. Putting it simply, your little wonderful and beautiful book bottom lined EVERYTHING I learned (and am still learning)."

Jose C, Austin, TX

"About one month ago my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Since that time he has had surgery to remove it. Although we pray the doctors had removed it all, there is still that chance they did not. I was feeling very discouraged, angry, and sad. My father does not smoke, drinks alcohol rarely, eats a low fat diet and exercises. To top it off he is the most angelic person I have ever known. I was at the bookstore looking for a Tofu cookbook when I came across your book at the checkout. To say the least it was all I needed. Although I'm still very scared, your book was very inspirational and I continue to read it several times a day. I want to thank you for making God so simple."

Aimee K, La Mirada, CA

"I sat down and read your book in fifteen minutes. As I finished it, I felt like shouting, 'Yes, yes!-Finally a creed I believe in!' This book must truly have been inspired by God!"

Art B, Nicholasville, KY

"I just finished your brilliant book. You captured how I feel with easy reading and fun phrases. You nailed it! It's no coincidence that your book was sent to me. You must get it out to the world. The world cannot have peace until we get out of 'religion' and into 'God.' Religion is the vehicle, and God is the destination."

Jane C, Troy, MI

"I think your book is the most simple and complete way to explain God. There is no doubt that what you say is coming from your heart. I found in your book exactly what I have come to believe through my life experience and through reading great books of essence. What I've found changed my life, and now I'm a happy man living in God and in peace."

Vladimir S, New York, NY

"I am in prison today, and when I get out I do not want to go back to my old friends or my old way of life. To me, your book is like a beginner version of the Bible. That is what I need because I am willing to put 110% into turning my life over if I can just find someone who will help me see the light... someone like you."

Keith B, Brent, AL

"I felt I really should write you to let you know the overwhelming extent of your work. I am a college student who for a long time has wrestled to eloquently explain my relationship with God to others. Your book seemed to take the words right out of my mouth. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated your thoughts!"

Jessica E, Williamsburg, VA

"I m 17, and I don't know what to believe. When I read your book, I liked it because it didn't have all these weird things in it trying to make me believe. It had things that I already believe in and have thought about. This book has helped me to open up a little, and I thank you very much for your insights and beliefs."

Brianna H, Rickreall, OR

"My AA sponsor knew of my plight with the difference between religion and spiritual beliefs. He came across your book and had me read it. I fell in love with the insight and format right off. 'Easy,' as your title states. It's as though you've read my mind, with so many of your thoughts... which would explain the simplicity of your book. I hate complications. I think your book should be shared with all newcomers in AA. I know it would help a lot of lost souls with the development of a higher power and the beliefs that come with it."

Sebastian, FL

"I want to thank you for such a wonderful little book. It has been a helping hand to my spiritual awakening. I know God is on my side, and knowing that is very wonderful. Your book will help people get to know the one God with many different names."

Francisco F, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

"Thank you for your time and your wonderful little book that helps this one person manage her confusions and problems."

Amber G, Burnt Ranch, CA

"I'm writing in appreciation of your book. God Made Easy has made a positive effect on several of the residents here in the recovering community. Some guys have a difficult time with the 'God' concept when first entering the program, and your book has been a successful tool in helping to achieve the willingness to accept a Higher Power that recovery requires. I think you are a special person, and I know that it would mean a lot to you to know that you have made a difference! Thanks for sharing!"

Jody B, AL

"What a wonderful divine surprise your book was today. I grew so happy my eyes watered. It said everything I think about."

Joseph R, Woburn, MA

"Your book made me stop and think about the little things in life that God is present in, such as babies, flowers, nature, etc. I never really thought of these things as heavenly things before. You also helped me realize that maybe other religions like Buddhist are not sacrilegious but another form of the 'Almighty.' After reading this simple little book, I felt relaxed and closer to the Almighty. I intend to share this book with others. Thank you so much for your precious gift."

Sarah M, Louisville, TN

" Late one evening on our way back to Lexington I asked my husband and the Hungarian gentleman we had been entertaining to stop at a bookstore outside of Memphis. I was looking around for something comforting to read when I saw your book. I asked my angels about it and felt it was okay for me to read. And was it ever. It was just the book I needed at the time. I have since shared it with many others and given it as presents. I am writing because I wanted to share that with you.

The reason I was looking for something comforting is that our only child, our precious and beautiful seventeen-year-old Berek has gone home. At the time of Berek's passing I did not know anything about God and doubted His existence. Certainly I never thought about what might happen to us after we pass on, because I guess I thought we would all live to be old and die peacefully in our sleep. Well, life is not like that.

My favorite pages in God Made Easy are the two "So now imagine a place with..." Patrice, I cannot tell you how comforting those pages are to a mother who is worried about what is it like for her son.

I wanted you to know how much your book has meant to me. I hope that you feel good about what you have brought into my life."

Mary, Lexington, TN

" I thoroughly enjoyed your book God Made Easy and thus far have bought and passed on about 15 copies. As a member of a 12-step program for over eleven years, I have found it particularly useful in working with newcomers who have either a) no concept of a higher power or b) have grown up with one or another of the 'scary, punishing, vindictive' kinds of God as many of us unfortunately have. After reading your book, I have had the newcomers come up to me and say 'So that's what you were talking about all this time. I didn't get it before.' Thank you, Ms. Karst, because, at least among the 12-step community, I can attest that your book has played a part, quite literally, in saving lives."

John, Canoga Park, CA

" In June of 1998 I tried to commit suicide. I was tired, sad, mad, angry, frustrated, disappointed, hopeless... desperate. As I was just about to fall asleep, three women found me on the top level of an empty parking structure. There had been no cars up there, nor on the two levels below. I thought for sure no one would find me. I was wrong. It has been several months since my attempt, and I am very angry with God. I am mad at him for all of the struggling I have been through in my life. I am mad at him because he let me get to that point. My father bought your book God Made Easy for my sister a few years ago, and I found it the other day. I brought it to work and read it, and I felt compelled to write to you and tell you my story. I am not sure why; perhaps I felt comfortable with your point of view about God. I really enjoy your book I have a feeling I will be rereading it frequently."

C, Flat Rock, MI

" I was given your book about 2 years ago. For the past few days, I've been going through some hard times I saw your book and decided to pick it up and read it. I read it cover to cover in a matter of minutes and LOVED it! What a great idea! I will keep it by my beside to read to my husband or children and for those times when I need inspiration. You are truly special for listening to God's idea and pulling through with it. I'm truly happy for you and happy I found this book! I pray that God will reveal my gift to me one day and that I will listen and take action like you did. Thank you for your inspiration! God bless!"

Tracy D. H., Bronx, NY

" You have a very unique way of looking at God and this world we live in. Next time I get discouraged or overwhelmed I will be reminded to look at things differently. You reminded me of God's goodness and to look more closely at his creation. The creation he created for us to enjoy. God bless you! And keep writing these books, 'He' will bless you."

Kim M., Woodstock, GA

"On October 14, 1999, a tragic car accident ripped our lives apart: Our only child Miriam was killed. She was an avid reader, and I found God Made Easy among her books. We will never get over her death, but your book has given me some comfort. I found that she had it tucked away by her bedside."

Frank and Marian, Amelia, VA

"I'm 15 years old, and I'm in detention doing time. Your book made me go to God and ever since then, I can do anything. When I get out, I'm getting a job and going back to school to get my diploma, all because of this book. It makes me look at the good side of this life."

Tanner, Brighton, CO

"I feel that the ordinary, petty worries of day-to-day living can be overcome by reading your book. It can serve as a stepping stone to the books like The Gita."

Chandrakant G., Chennai, India

"From the first page of your book, I felt it in my heart. I knew this was the answer I was longing for. You don't even know me, and I don't know you, but God used you to reach me."

Angelica M., Carolina, Puerto Rico

"I think your book is absolutely brilliant. Getting to know God really is that easy! It's funny how many people miss Him in the little things in life, from the colors we see in nature to the taste of all the wonderful fruits. I am starting to appreciate all the smaller things that make living such a joy. I hope your book helps many others to realize this, as it has helped me."

Becky D., England

"The book by Patrice Karst has made not simply my day but many, many days to come. You have introduced me to a gift I want to share with others. These kind of things, I know you will agree, are not to be had for a single private use but to be extended to those around use that we have special feelings for. It doesn't matter what page you open to; it is as if you have read a chapter and it is all summed up in a few words."

Kreskin

"After twenty minutes reading the book, I was crying. How easy it is for all of us to take on the mantle of specialnes s. It seems to me that the more spiritual work we do and the more we truly acknowledge ourselves the more we become 'simple.'"

Paul W., London, England

"At a time when it is really needed that we realize good and live that realization, along comes God Made Easy' right on time."

James V. E., San Francisco

"I am speechless because your book to me is a masterpiece, so simply told. I reread it, and my heart fills repeatedly. I honor you, or better said Namaste."

Carolyn V., Phoenix, AZ

"I love your light touch (the very best approach) to the eternal truth. Left lying hopefully about on the kitchen table, it reached an unbelieving child of mine' She found it neat and acceptable as her belief also; this after some heartbreaking years-a miracle!"

Ellie B., Cleveland, OH

"I was inspired and felt recognized at last, as if someone could see inside of me and understand. I never wanted to lose my innocent, open way of looking at this life. I know truth was closer when I was a child, but it's hard to remember when you're older."

Ana R., Pacifica, CA

"In many ways, your life parallels my own and, I'm sure, many other people's lives. Thank you so much for being YOU and for being open to receiving God, made easy."

Ann T., South San Francisco, CA

"When I found God Made Easy in April 1999, I read it, loved it, and asked my favorite bookstore to order 20 more copies. I become more and more aware of the things that have limited growth and understanding in so many of us. I live with thoughts of love about everyone and everything, and I consider this God made easy."

Jean W., Little Rock, AK

"Your book has given m so much peace. There are times when I miss my mom so much I almost can't breathe, and I take out that precious blue book. It goes with me wherever I go. Thank you for that little miracle called God Made Easy."

Mildred P., Moonachie, NJ

"Your book blessed me. It's inspirational to see folks who 'do' something about their divinity-You go girl!"

Reverend Dot, Montgomery, AL

"After reading your book, I am thankful to be feeling so good inside. I need someone to tell me 'You're doing great-Do better. Everything is going to be fine. I need a mommy and daddy. Thank you so much for being those people for the past 15 minutes."

Tracy, Los Angeles

"I brought your book back with me to Brussels and started to translate it into German because there are so many friends of all ages I'd like to share your message with. It is fun, adventurous, and a great lesson of humility."

Eva R., Brussels, Belgium

"Thanks for giving me pleasure and comfort through your book and for providing some easy-to-take soul medicine for me and others."

Merlyn, Costa Mesa, CA

"As I read your book, I thought 'Why didn't someone do this before? Now THIS is the way to write a spiritual book!' I have read many religious and spiritual books, but yours is the first that was FUN to read, playful, tongue-in-cheek, and humorous. Yes, you certainly have provided a service to humanity."

Paul O., Ridgeland, MS

"Your book is so wonderfully simple. I just reread it, and it gave me the same thrill it did the first time. I know I'll reread it many more times. That's part of its beauty. It contains so much in so little space and can be read in ten minutes' or ten hours. It is a book for today and forever."

Jerry H., Sherman Oaks, CA

"I am 14 years old. I believe that God is different to everyone. I read your book and was amazed because it is exactly what I think and what I believe."

Ashley, Carlsbad, CA

"I found your book to be inspirational and definitely sent from above. It will touch many souls beyond the infinite number I'm sure it already has. It is blessed in that it touches the soul of one on the beginning of their spiritual journey, as well as renews the strength of one continuing on their spiritual growth."

Kerry C., Long Island, NY

"Your book will help others to see Him for who He really is (easy-going, fun, witty, understanding, Divine, bigger than us, etc.) instead of as some giant authoritarian in the clouds."

Tonia C., Ventura, CA

"Just simple truth, spoken with conviction and passion." "God Made Easy is right on time-for you, for me, and the entire universe."

Reto, Montreal

"You explain things simply, and you made me smile and cry for the first time in years."

James P., Jefferson City, MO

"Your book was shared by members of an Affirmation Group, and the hearts of men were touched, some cried, some laughed with joy. It was as if these men that are labeled 'convicts' were transported to a new vision."

Douglas A., LaGrange, KY

"Encouragement in simple format to converse to and listen for God! Some would call it sacrilegious. I call it reassuring." "Still there are moments of reflection that have me wonder at God's little booklet miracle that opened my eyes."

JC T., Houston, TX

"The simplest, funniest, purest explanation of God I have ever seen... Get on Oprah!"

Jane E. C., Troy, MI

Jackie H., Hoboken, NJ
