High on God: There’s No High Like The Most High

In his overemotional debut, Spinks, founder of Christian community outreach nonprofit the Fire House Projects, describes his spiritual inner life as an “intoxicating bliss.” Wading through excessive exclamation marks and entire words typed in capital letters, readers will find claims of how Spinks has experienced God’s presence in majestic ways. For instance, Spinks tells how he was once struck mute for six straight hours by God’s overwhelming power and how he witnessed the supernatural teleportation of a car by the hand of God. While it is difficult to get through the dense, unwieldy prose, readers who persevere will find solid advice about reinvigorating one’s spiritual fervor, including a helpful chapter on how channelling passions into work can bring improvements to one’s spiritual life as well. Spinks also describes the different types of his “God highs” and provides biblical examples of prophets feeling ecstasy. Devout Christian readers will find plenty to relate to in Spinks’s assertion that being high on God is both possible and necessary: “People are absolutely wasted, whacked, jacked up, and thoroughly high on God... Becoming aware that you have been included in Christ causes you to experience His reality now as yours.” Christian readers who can handle Spinks’s messy prose will be entranced by this ecstatic testament to God’s presence.
