Paul's book "Fishing for Praise" has just been published by Wipf and Stock. It's available from their web site www.wipfandstock.com for the US or www.paulpoulton.com for the UK and Europe.
Praise is a hidden doorway in the world, which enables us to see things outside of the universe. But it's a doorway that is easily missed; people walk pass it, thinking nothing of it, not realizing the value of it. God has placed it there for us to walk through and see where He lives.
This look at praise takes some surprising turns and gives us insight into heaven, hell, the world we live in and our own souls.
People praise all sorts of things. I find myself praising my wife, children, footballers, chefs, I even praise my dog. When we praise God, it is a natural extension of what we normally do every day. And praise isn't one way, because God praises us too.
When we are patient, praise will come our way from the most
unexpected source and it will come just when our
enemies have turned up to see it. God intervenes on
our behalf when we leave the task of being praised to
Him. Contrary to popular belief, praise comes to those
who wait. We don't have to fish for it.
Paul is also known for his songs, and touring with his band The Paul Poulton Project.
