Brian McLaren - Author, Speaker, Pastor, Networker "When I read The Porpoise Diving Life, I loved it. But I've been listening to the audio book version lately, and I love it even more. "Bill Dahl is such a natural storyteller - the audio book taps into the part of us that comes alive when we hear, "Once upon a time..." As the title suggests, the book takes you to deeper levels than a lot of folks normally go, but in true porpoise fashion, it also takes some delightful leaps into the sunlight, so you're misting up one minute with a profound or poignant insight and then laughing out loud the next with an unexpected twist or delightful surprise. You couldn't have a better companion on your next long drive or jog or restful evening."
Tony Jones is the author of The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier and the National Coordinator of Emergent Village "I'm a huge fan of Bill Dahl! He's a great man, and a wonderful disciple of Jesus. Plus, he's got lots to say to the rest of us who are trying to follow Jesus. So, when it comes to the Porpoise Diving Life, I say: Dive In!" By Jim Henderson - co-founder and Executive Director of Off The Map and the author of a.k.a. lost – connecting with the people Jesus misses most, and Jim & Casper Go To Church – Frank conversation about faith, churches, and well-meaning Christians. Jim is an innovative thinker and passionately committed to normalizing evangelism for ordinary Christians.
"Bill Dahl - God’s Screenwriter!" By Charlie Wear - Publisher - Next-Wave: Church & Culture "I love to meet and connect with Jesus-followers, and Bill Dahl is the genuine article. With The Porpoise Diving Life Bill has connected with the real, everyday life of people just like you and me. He teaches us by his own story what it means to live life in Christ, naturally!" Jeff Jacobson - founder and president of The Reclamation Project, and the author of So I Go Now: Following after the Jesus of our Day. "As Seinfeld lovers may remember, George's father became disillusioned with Christmas, so he invented his own holiday -- Festivus. And with it, he created his proud slogan: "Festivus, for the rest of us!" So, following that same theme, what about us? What about the disillusioned masses who wonder if there really is a Jesus and a simpler faith for the rest of us? It's a relevant question that begs an answer, and in The Porpoise Diving Life, Bill Dahl tackles the subject with the finesse and authority of a cultural bellwether. Through the power and applicability of his marvelous stories, you'll find that Bill is living life and his faith in a beautiful way -- he actually speaks of what he knows, not just what he imagines. And yes, it's true -- you're really not alone in those thoughts you've been having. There is another way! The audio version of his book is just one more way we can enjoy the power of this unique and creative message. Bill, thank you for letting us in on your little secret: The Porpoise Diving Life. Indeed, there is reality for the rest of us." Jim Palmer Author of Divine Nobodies and Wide Open Spaces "There are times on my journey with God when I quietly wonder, "Am I the only one thinking and experiencing this?" And then a book like The Porpoise Diving Life comes around and renews my courage to keep putting one foot in front of the other. If you feel like you have all the answers and the formulas are working for you, you may not be interested in what Bill has to say. But if you are someone who understands we are all a little messed up but desire to fully know God in the midst of the muddle of real life, then please listen to The Porpoise Diving Life.
