“I loved reading this book by my friend and neighbor, Gene! It is very evident that Gene had investigated the scriptures thoroughly! A Closer Walk with God was written by a man who truly loves our Lord and God and wants to share with as many people as possible! I enjoyed the fact that he incorporated different hymns with the characters of each chapter! This book is so down to earth and very understandable!”   (Carol-Amazon)

This is a good reminder that we all need to walk closer to God, not just on Sundays or any other day, BUT all the time.   (Cristella - Amazon)

“I’m sometimes a slow reader but I couldn’t put this book down. There is so much here to meditate along with God’s Word. Gene does an incredible job at filling and backing his insights with the Bible. It is definitely a book to read again and buy extras to share with friends”   (Jason-Amazon)

It's been a "few" years since Gene and I were roommates at Nebraska Christian College. Even back then he was the studious one, I was the "let's have fun" guy. Genesis is my favorite book of the Bible, a discovery made at NCC as well as a love for Creation studies. When I saw Gene had written a book based on the characters in Genesis, I had to get it.
As I read it, my thoughts were "a good, basic book" that would be great for new Christians and a good study book for a small group, and even for teenager classes in a church.
But it is also a good "refresher course" for us "older" Christians, a reminder that we are not alone and that God is with us, if only we decide on a closer walk with Him. Which is a great title, as well!   (Bird whisperer - Amazon)

Deepen your walk with God by learning how He used ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Great book! Gene, the author, is deeply committed.  (Susan D. Free - Amazon)

"A Closer Walk" is a good, refreshing, and encouraging book, thus far. I'm beginning ch. 4 and don't want to put it down but it's my bed time. Thanks for writing a book that is practical, not pompous, and it's easy to grasp. I appreciate your work!

Gene is a gifted writer. This new book will help and encourage anyone in their walk with God. Gene's love for God shines throughout each chapter as he gives amazing Biblical examples to help guide our lives. I really enjoyed how he comes across as serious but light hearted. This would be a great book for those who have a strong faith and especially those who are new believers or those just seeking truth.  (TK - Amazon)
