Description

Crushed by an alcoholic father, there wasn't an area of life in which Phillip Cohen didn't search for meaning.

For decades, nothing worked.

His journey is an amazing adventure one has to read to believe. All the places where God (or godlike substitutes) was supposed to be, God was not. Where Cohen never expected God is precisely where He appeared.

As a youth, Phillip Cohen took to thieving, running away . . . anything to escape a father who brutalized his mother and oldest son. Visits to Mexico and rural New Mexico showed Cohen a simple, happy life through families who lived in near poverty, and this seemed most attractive. But it wasn't long before he ran headlong into the hippie culture, drugs, rock festivals, and communes.

All that left only a rage building inside that he could not contain.

It seemed a simple country Bible community had provided the way out for Cohen and his young bride, Gina--but they soon found out she wasn't even permitted to go by her given name. The spartan, country lifestyle seemed to meet their needs--until the man-made rules placed on Cohen and Gina ("Mary") became so suffocating they could not be endured.

The searching continued.

Join an amazing memoir in which God proved his love in the most unusual of places. It also led to Cohen finding his life's vocation through an amazing talent of using his hands that grew to a multi-million-dollar woodworking business. Even this finding of purpose brought Phillip back to
. . . the God who shines through.
