“Susan’s book
will lead the reader on an interesting journey of discovery and
clarification. She is right about life with God being adventurous
and breath-taking. Writing with a vulnerability that allows the
light of God’s grace to shine through real life situations, she
presents God’s way as both beneficial and desirable. Susan led me
through her ideas with anticipation. I believe it will help a lot
of people clarify the real issue of living with God. I read it for
interest and edification and I was not disappointed.”

“Some books
argue that God exists. This book gives us His address. Some books
tell us about Him, this book shows us what He looks like. If
you’ve ever wondered if there’s more to the Christian life, Susan
Hill doesn’t just assure us that there is, she hands us a roadmap,
and show us how to get there.”
-Phil Callaway, popular speaker and bestselling author

“Susan has a
message people need to hear.”

“There’s something
so liberating about what Susan Hill is writing. I’m not sure if
there was a chapter read where my heart wasn’t stirred and I wasn’t
almost brought to tears. As a Christian, my journey with God often
seems more like working for a demanding employer than walking hand
in hand with my first love. Susan Hill’s book was a refreshing
reminder that it is the latter and not the former that the Lord
desires of me. Her stories take you to the feet of the Father of
Love to encounter His incredible kindness for yourself. I hope as
you read this book you too can discover why the ‘nearness of God is
(our) good.’ (Psalm 73:28) I think this is a phenomenally important
book for our generation.”
-Jimmy Needham, recording artist, Inpop Records

“People are crying
out today for REAL. Closer Than Your Skin goes to the heart and does
not let go. It captured me immediately: hook, line and the entire
fishing pole. Susan writes with such a light touch, it feels real,
and not preachy. Her book feels like an opening without bashing
anyone’s doors down, written from a woman’s wisdom and sensitivity.
My wife said, ‘This book is a killer; this is my kind of book.’ "
-Jim Rubart, author and leader in men’s ministries, Woodinville,

“How absolutely
exhilarating! What I find particularly touching about Closer Than
Your Skin is the author’s personal, gentle voice. The reader is
honored with trust when Susan reveals tender moments, like the
orange story, and I think that creates an instant bond with the
reader. A new audience will cherish her images. I poured over this
book, drinking in every word and I can’t tell you how filled with
love I was after reading it. Incredibly healing…full of
understanding and insight…like the author knew exactly what I was
missing and exactly what I needed.”
--Patti Sharpe, freelance illustrator, Columbus, Ohio

“Susan’s voice is
calm, clear and contemplative, supporting her claim that God
communicates with us in intensely personal ways. Such an orderly
braid, not constrained or compelled.”
-Linda Carson, author, Glendive, Montana

“It is wonderful
-- I cannot imagine that, in some way, it would not speak to anyone
who picks it up. It is very engaging because it is from
Susan's heart and also speaks to the heart of God. Thank you,
Susan, for putting pen to paper; the Holy Spirit flows!”
-Ann Young, Jackson, Mississippi

“Absolutely GOOD.
Take it to the limit. I want to jump up and shout: “Hallelujah!”
This book is what people need to realize!
The title – Closer Than Your Skin —that’s first class.”
-Nicole Petrino-Salter, Novelist, Hope Of Glory and The
Famous One, Auburn,

“I see sunflowers
swaying, golden hair blowing, tears dried on your cheeks, Susan.
This author is a treasure untold in her leadership, personal
transparency, modesty, courage and love. Write on!”

Montana, and Bible Study Fellowship Leader |

"Chapter 8,
"Ambushed by Life" struck a cord. The title choked me up. Even
though my circumstances were different, the underlying pain
described in the book was the same. I needed to forgive those who
had hurt me so deeply, but without any conditions. I had also been
questioning God--why would he allow this pain to penetrate my
family. I came to the realization that I needed to forgive God as
well. I see now that God wants to share my burden. The words in
Closer Than Your Skin enabled me to have this "sneeze" moment."
-Milne Macy, Central Oregon |

"Packing Susan
Hill's manuscript in the bottom of my duffle bag, I was ready
to go elk hunting. My wife had just finished reading it, and I could
tell how much it had touched her. I decided that I should read this
book. After one week of hunting, I had one day left to stay in camp
and read. So Friday, after breakfast, I began to read Closer Than
Your Skin, and spent most of the day reading about how God
speaks today. We had been hunting six days on foot and horse back,
miles from camp with no luck and this was our last day. But late
that afternoon, with the nourishment of this book fresh on my mind,
I headed out from camp to find a small lake not far from the tent
and I believe the Lord placed a small bull elk in my path. What a
blessing the Lord gave me that day!"
