What has been said about Surprised by God:

"Life is full of ordinary, mundane, happy, and disappointing moments. Rooted in his own life's journey, Allan Moffat wonderfully opens our eyes and awakens our hearts in the surprising acts of God in these moments and drives home this amazing truth: God loves us, and God loves a good surprise!"

"Rarely does one find a book where all the most important, significant, painful and joyful lessons of one man's life are freely shared in intimate detail. That is the kind of experience you will have as you are immersed into the life of one regular guy. He knew that the lessons he learned were so profound that perhaps others would learn from them as he had, and perhaps too, before enduring the intense pain that birthed these nuggets of insight. Shared in simple terms, the wisdom of the ages is so beautifully unwrapped in the stories that make you surprised by God. You will find yourself wrapped in an adventure that captures your mind and stirs your soul."

"Readers will find this book instructive and inspirational as they read of a good man's responses to the call of Christ. Allan's story will parallel that of many other people. The book interacts with scripture as a life narrative, not a theological treatise and is very accessible to the average reader. Allan plainly sets forth the adventure of his faith life with its ups and downs, crises and joys, and rejoices in the faithfulness of God. I hope Surprised by God will have a wide reading."

Rev. Bruce Robertson

"Surprised by God is an unrestricted story of the author's life to date. It is a down-to-earth example of an everyday life with its beliefs and unbelief that is met with the realization of a God who is, not only willing to touch our lives, but clearly gives direction, support and encouragement on a daily basis. If you think you have troubles that need solutions, this true life story is for you."

Arne Bryan
Founder, Director of Prayer Canada

"Having myself been "surprised" by God, I think of faith and life as a mirror we look into of which our life reflects. Every day it changes and what I expect to see is the "surprise" Allan Moffat speaks of in his book Surprised by God. This is a must read for those looking to explore the mystery, awe and transforming love of a God that knows you better than you know yourself!"

"In Surprised by God, Allan Moffat bares his soul in telling his life story, including the wonderful surprises he experienced from God. In reading this book one may be reminded, or awakened, to the gifts of grace in the circumstances of our lives and thus ultimately experience God's love in new and deeper ways."

Simon Bazett
M. Ed., School Psychologist

"Surprised by God is a fresh and insightful snapshot of how God chooses to make Himself known in the life of a man who is willing to listen and grow in his faith as God's beloved child. What makes the book so pleasurable to read is the manner in which the author illustrates his own encounter with God who brings real and measurable change to his life. It is as if you're sitting down and talking to Allan one-on-one while he shares how God has "surprised" him throughout his life."
