Book Reviews

“This book caused me to really ponder John 14:6 passage again! My life was proof enough for me that one’s search for the truth will ultimately lead them to Jesus. Phil’s willingness to bear his soul confirms my conviction! I could feel his soul searching for truth through abuse, poverty, rejection, drugs, loneliness, confusion, family, wealth, and even religion. “Jesus Shines Through” is emotionally challenging to read, but you are compelled to continue until the end. You want to know where this life’s journey is going. The end will leave you thankful and give you courage to continue your journey of discovering the truth! Jesus Shines Through for all who seek the truth no matter where you begin your journey, or where it leads you along the way. Phil, thank you for sharing with us! I am blessed by your transparency. My hope has increased, my faith has been strengthened, and I am more confident in the matchless love of Jesus for all!”

“Phil Cohen is an honest man with a pure heart. These pages are filled with memories. Some good, and others — not so good. Jesus Shines Through is the abiding theme of Phil’s life. In the depths of despair, Jesus shines through. In the heights of accomplishment, Jesus shines through. In the doldrums of daily life, Jesus shines through. Humans have an innate understanding that life is about so much more than punching-in and punching-out. Some seek solace in spirituality, while others pursue self-actualization. The tireless wondering always leads back to the origin: We were made by God, in His image, for communion with Him, and to His glory. As you read this story, my prayer for you is that you would find the Truth. That your eyes would see Jesus shining through.”

“Philip Cohen’s raw authenticity and vulnerability take the reader on a journey into the ravages of brokenness and abandonment.  This book is for those whose hopes and dreams seem continually shattered beyond repair. Are you stuck in cycles of addiction, mood swings, acting out, or depression? If so, please read this book to the end. There is hope.  Jesus does shine through, and He is shining through to you right now.”

About the Author

Phillip Cohen grew up in inner-city Chicago, Atlanta, and Miami before wandering around in three countries, searching for a life that matters. Running from a violent world and horridly dysfunctional home, he passes through numerous hippie communes before, with his girlfriend, discovering a Bible community in rural Tennessee, where they later marry.

Part of his breaking through to understanding God’s love happens while visiting Nicaragua. There he helps Pablo Yoder write Angels Over Waslala, stories about God reaching hearts deep in the jungles of this war-torn country. It sells tens of thousands of copies and helps many lives. In time, God shows Phillip he has a remarkable talent: woodworking. In rural Tennessee, Phillip builds porch swings in a neighbor’s pigpen from walnut, cherry, and cedar, and children’s toys. He watches his customers delight in his simple work.

Phil founded Cohen Woodworking in 1982 and it grew over the years, landing multiple contracts for Walmart and other large clients. In 2017, Phil was invited to Washington, DC, to be awarded the Small Business Person of the Year for Missouri. The company also was featured in many news and media outlets, including Forbes magazine, for placing people ahead of profits. Phillip retired in 2021, and the business is now run by his sons, Ben and Nate.

Now Phillip helps business and ministry leaders create strong, cohesive leadership teams with God in the center.
