Summary: Like finding an oasis in the desert
Review: I find James Langteaux to be a breath of fresh air. It takes a lot of faith to be so honest. God often leads us all through a desert wilderness to help us find the oasis of His rest. James helps us to better realize that if it were not for the desert place, we might not be able to recognize the oasis when we find it.Thanks, James. I look forward to what God will lead you to share with us next.

Summary: Where the heck am I and how did I get here?
Review: I read God.com last year and found it interesting...very
interesting. Naturally, I had to peer into God.net, the
sequel. I found this new foray into the spiritual/poetic
journey an indefatiguable page turner. Sure, it may not
compare to James Langteaux's earlier work on the Taxidermy
Today Program, but none-the-less, it took me on a similar
"preserved for the ages" trek toward a fresh understanding of
what it means to have my synapses fully flexed. For those of us with kids...jobs...hobbies, I found God.net not too big--and not too small...it was JUST RIGHT! It took me but a few weeks to read
this nugget from cover to cover. Actually, once I got past that
hypnotically mezmerizing cover, I was able to breeze through it in just 45-minutes--thanks to the Evelyn Woods speed reading course I completed this summer. Very hip book. Creative insights into a dynamic relationship with God. Again...I must say, "Interesting...very interesting"--Nice job, James! I look forward to your next book...undoubtedly,
"Spirit.org". Keep writing! Keep the faith!

Summary: Prepare yourself . . .this is a journey beyond belief!
Review: Thank you, James, for exposing and sharing your desert experience -- the one that comes after "believe." Previously vague questions of "where did you go, God?" and "why don't I feel free?" were answered through your honesty, and hope stirred anew. Truth after Truth after Truth was brought to Light as the darkness of spiritual blindness was exposed in your "transparen-see." Thank you for inspiring me to continue my own journey believing in God's net-work. You have identified the voice and heartbeat of the tribe, and you have truly been called by God to expose His Bride to the holy dance of His glory.

Summary: god.net
Review: This book picks up where God.com left off. It is brilliant, insightful, but most of all candid. It strips away the superficiality of what a Christian is supposed to look like and instead concentrates, on what a Christian is supposed to be. And "being" is at the heart of this book. Just plain being. It is a freeing look on how God wants us to respond as His children. And that is very much how we would like our own children to respond to us, but with perfect love as the motivator of His relationship with us. Often God.net is startling. James weaves humorous, sometimes melancholy autobiographical sketches, with Biblical insights
and a dose of refreshing, clever prose. God.net is not large but I found it a slow read, at least for me.
So many of the things he addresses are ringing true in my life right now, and I found myself mulling over, page by page, what he had just said rather than bouncing merrily through the chapters. For me that means a good read. From pining away in the desert of the unreal (that we all must experience to get to the real meaning of life) to some cutting insights about what it really means to cut the crap and get fishing, James Langetaux's writing is a fresh wind through the drudgery, pablum, hyperbole, and rules, that dominate most spiritual literature. I hope this book sets back the church 2000 years.

Summary: Where the heck am I and how did I get here?
Review: Too many of us who started the adventure of "Believe" have wound up losing our bearings in the "desert" of life's journey. We hit the struggles and then try to use our own wits to no avail. Inevitably we become as dry as the desert itself; even cynical. "Was this a trick"? "Did God just bring me out here to dump me"? By revealing the intimate struggles of his life and his relationship with the living God, this author shows himself to be an apostle called by God to lead those of us who have wandered in the wilderness back to rediscover the Source. There's no religious spirit here. As a matter of fact Mr. Langteaux's refreshing honesty and humor might just wrankle some who have become pious desert dwellers. Hats off to Multnomah for publishing a voice that speaks for a generation that can smell hipocracy a mile away and won't stand for anything less than the genuine. Let the reader beware, there is truth and life in this book.
