In January of 2016 I felt the Lord was leading me to write my story. The next time I attended church, my pastor said, "I want you to write something." He was asking for a submission to a church devotional, but I believed his words were also confirmation that it was time to write my story. So, here is my story. I once was lost but now I am found.

I liked the author's honesty about his struggles and also his commitment to his faith, that often made him do things that humanly did not make sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read!

Every once in a while a book comes along that has a quiet yet profound message. Curtis Rook's book Knowing is one such book. Told in first person, this book is the journey of one man, in search of answers and a life filled with lessons gleaned from unlikely sources. I was moved by the narrative and the plain spoken charm Rook displayed in each chapter. If you are questioning your 'walk' or just beginning the journey, this book is for you! A fast read, Knowing proves to be one book that will stay with the reader long after the book closes.

There are many events in Curtis' journey that spoke directly to me. He writes in a style that's smooth, concise and powerful. My thoughts revisits a few of his experiences that encouraged me in a deep way. I am hoping that he will share another part of his journey in his next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knowing is very powerful.
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017
Curtis and I attended college together, both Economics majors, but after graduation had very little contact. From time to time, I received news about Curtis from mutual friends, but for over three decades had not seen him. Recently, at a reunion, Curtis and I reconnected and he generously gave me a copy of “Knowing.” On the very first night home, I read it in one sitting. “Knowing” is Curtis’ testimony and it is very powerful, very moving and even sprinkled with occasional humor. I was sorry to reach the end so quickly, and trust that Curtis will write a sequel in the near future. His journey has been a difficult one, but through his faith he persevered through illness, the deaths of loved ones, temporary loss of his children, and long stretches of unemployment and underemployment. Wherever you are in your own faith journey, do yourself a favor, make a small investment, and read how one man survived a veritable hell on earth and came through it as a stronger Christian.

5.0 out of 5 stars intelligent, gentle and anticipating a bright future afterwards
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2017
Everyone has a story about there life... and this is one very remarkable journey! Curtis was my roommate in college; intelligent, gentle and anticipating a bright future afterwards. But his story after college speaks to facing many unbelievable challenging life experiences, yet somehow persevering through them all. Slowly, a relationship with God and faith grows from virtually nothing and ultimately that becomes the one constant in his life. Very inspirational story, which is well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title " knowing" is quite appropriate because after reading this book I personaly felt that I knew God a little bit better.
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2016
If you want to experience how God can work in an ordinary life read this book.
In this well written and honest autobiography Curtis shares his life with the reader.
We experience his struggles, failures and successes but most importantly we see and feel God's presence and guidance in his life.
Curtis reveals to us how god's presence in our lives can be subtle, simple and often of a surprising nature. The title " knowing" is quite appropriate because after reading this book I personaly felt that I knew God a little bit better. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know God in a deeper way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curtis Rook is cool in real life too
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016
I get to know Curtis personally through our church - and he's such a cool dude. His book is an inspiring story of God working through all things at all times, the highest and lowest moments. It's full of people and places that have made a big difference in small ways - the most true testimony of how God influences our lives.

Thanks for writing it, Curtis.
