"highly original work"
"From the first page, it's clear that Paul has an unusual style of writing, full of unsuspecting similes and metaphors. It has a "fresh from the mind" feeling, which makes it a very interesting read."
" He skilfully explores the meaning of praise, its involvement in our society and lives, and ultimately how we should praise God."

"I have you to blame for me being so tired today!!! I was up until 12.50am finishing reading your book and then I couldn’t get to sleep thinking about what I had read. As I read your book I felt an ebb and flow of real joy and excitement at the enormity and special place that Praise has within our lives. Your words reveal how Praise is central to the very core of our being. We just need to be made more aware of that fact and allow our lives to be a reflection of Praise."

"I am enjoying going through your book. I can only read a little at a time, as you cover such huge issues in a succinct way. I find that I need to let the mind, body and soul connect for the understanding to develop and then envelop - if you know what I mean."

"Dipping into it straightaway, I know it will though-provoking and valuable. I've already recognised a couple of things in it that I needed to read."

"it arrived in yesterday’s post. I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet because my mother picked it up and is reading it. She occasionally interrupts with, “Listen to this”, and she reads aloud an interesting snippet."

"Just to let you know your book arrived yesterday, I am really enjoying reading it. As I was reading it, it made me feel really happy inside, it has made me think today about the real meaning of praise. Thank you for these inspiring words. It is just great to read in length and depth about this very important aspect of life. I have marked the areas in your book where God was speaking to me directly through the words…it is just a great book."

PAUL POULTON : Fishing for Praise. (Resource Publications – ISBN 13:978-1-55635-495-3)
"Best known for his music and with nine CDs to his credit, this is Paul Poulton’s first book. It is written in simple, clear language and is littered with a whole range of illustrations aimed to link everyday life to our need and responsibility to praise God. Paul clearly has a ‘heart’ for the subject....Anyone who has heard Paul’s music will know that as well as being an excellent guitarist with a brilliant band that can really groove, his uniqueness comes from a gift for cleverly constructed, thought provoking lyrics that really hit the spot (if you haven’t sampled Paul in action, I would definitely recommend a visit to www.paul.poulton.com). The book reflects this gift for the short, sharp message".
