God does not quantify sin – From Prodigal Son Magazine - December 2006
Praise the Lord for Rev. Zimmers open, frank and honest testimony. Thank you Lord that what the devil meant for harm you will turn for your glory. There is no better testimony than "I've been there." The devil always oversteps the line. Beacause of this fact, when sin is confessed (1 John 1:9) his power is broken and we are free to give God the glory for his grace and mercy. Remember. God does not quantify sin. We do.

What an amazing tourney!
June 2006
I took it home and finished it. My first reaction is wow! What an amazing tourney! It was a great reminder to me how God continues to love us in spite of our sinfulness. I know that you know you're not alone when it comes to Satan's trap with lust and all the sexual temptations in our world. I can relate to some of the struggles that you have dealt with. My other thought is this could be a helpful resource for some of our alums.
We have a new section on the alumni web site called "classifieds." I'd encourage you to go to the web site and post your new book and how alumni can order it.

A Modern Day Samson
December 2006
Many Christians live a “double life”, driven by fleshly addictions who chose to “run with the flesh” with its eventual downward spiral. Such life cycles are clearly described by God in the book of Judges. Paul is a modern day Samson, feasting on the best flesh offers, yet having that “hound of heaven” constantly pursuing, reminding him that he belongs to another. Unlike Samson and many “hero’s” in the book of Judges, this book ends with God’s mercy and grace on beautiful display through the life of Rev. Paul Zimmer.

Thank God for Good Books like this
One of the best books of this type I've read. I can relate to the author and his experiences almost as if they were my own. I thought the book would be good when I got it, but once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.

Honesty Counts
I read “Prodigal Daze” written by Paul Zimmer. The book is well written and keeps the readers interest as it is written in language that is down to earth and easy to understand. It is an honest story of his life. He “admitted” to lifestyles that are not acceptable to most of us, but, he overcame that 'life' with God's help. I for one, applaud his honesty.

A Fascinating Book
September 2004
Well, a fella by the name of Paul Zimmer wrote a book and I wasn't able to put it down until I finished it. It’s a fascinating book and when the word gets out, I’m sure its going to minister to lots of people; and not just those who may have had the same sin as you. This book should speak to any one with an addiction they can't overcome by themselves. Praise the Lord for His love, mercy and the tenacity in which He watches over us.

A Must Read Book
Fierce conviction, abnormal sense of humor, total honesty, firm Christian beliefs, and an overwhelming desire to help his fellow earthlings; Pastor Paul re-invents himself at every rough spot along the trail of life and shares his adventures while keeping his faith intact. What a truly interesting, honest and entertaining earthling he is himself. He truly inspires us to be our best. You must read his books!!

I Commend This Book to You
I read somewhere that Beethoven's greatest music was written only after he had lived with pain. This statement harmonizes with Rev. Paul Zimmer's latest book, Thorn Daze. The author shares what divine healing is and what it is not from his own personal experiences. Not everyone is physically healed. When the healing does not come, God's grace does in a way that is sufficient to, not only live with pain and affliction, but to do so victoriously. Those whose thorns have not been removed by God are often endowed as special dispensers of His grace to others who suffer. Although my experiences have been radically different than Pastor Zimmer's, I, too, have experienced the sufficiency of God's grace in the midst of growing deafness and today, with the miracle of a cochlear implant, I have been able to help many people who also struggle to hear. I commend Thorn Daze to you and your friends who are confused by the thorns God has chosen not to remove.
