WHEN OUR BOOK SELLS 100% IS DONATED TO SUPPORT FLUTEMAKER MINISTRIES.

This is my life story with around 100 cartoons of my artwork depicting my adventures as I traveled across the planet. 

I will take you from my home inside a chicken coop in Guatemala, to a meeting with the President of Fiji, from battling a spirit on top of a Mayan temple in a jungle, to the basement of an Argentine judge where guerrillas hid bomb-making tapes. We will get lost on a live volcano, feed a street gang in Costa Rica, play flute to a poisonous snake and through the eyes of a young doctor walk into an underground guerrilla camp in Colombia. All the while becoming aware of a loving presence from beyond the natural realm as I kept Bumping Into God.

The remaining books I have ready to ship are now a collector's item as this was our last printing.

The proceeds from my book support our work with special needs children in Nicaragua. 

My books are all signed, however, if you would like me to dedicate the book to you or someone else, just let me know in the comment box at check out, I will be happy to do that.

Comments from my readers:

Dear Erik: During my metro journeys back and forth across Prague I enjoy your book. Writing is drawing with the mind. As a former magazine editor and Time freelancer, your writing is an inspiration. I enjoy your refreshingly fluid way of storytelling. Thanks! Peace and blessings. JOHN GODDARD IN PRAGUE CZECH REPUBLIC

Dear Erik, I want to publish it. I love, love, love, love, love your book...  It's really and literally wonder-ful!!! There are no words to express how much I love it, how much I feel blessed. This is not a book you only read. This is a book to transform people... many tears have run from my cheeks and laughter has enlightened my soul from the moment I opened it! I wept hot tears with you on your flight to L.A, I feared for you being haunted by the mob. I absolutely adored the The Puppy From Hell. Yes, I do want to publish it. It's beautiful and it's motivating. GITTA IN GERMANY, RABAKA-PUBLISHING

Bravo! I'm hooked and reading when I should be sleeping. Bravo! Garth in Texas.

I am in chapter 5 of Erik's book and can't put it down. I haven't read a book in an awfully long time that made me laugh and cry not even half way through. What an inspiration! PAUL L. IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Dear Erik, What a wonderful sense of humor you have. I loved your book! What an exciting life. It certainly held my interest from beginning to end. You are quite the adventurous soul… I laughed and cried with you and feel like I really got to know you. I also enjoyed your imaginative artwork. Sincerely with love, Joanie at Lighthouse Point, Florida.

I just finished Erik's book and it reopened my eyes. Sometimes we forget or don't see how God is moving around us. This book is an inspiration and a motivation for ministry. RON IN COLORADO

This is probably the best book I've ever read, and I'm only almost halfway through! I would definitely recommend this book! YOUTUBE COMMENT

Erik: Less than a hundred pages to go and I really don't want it to end. Sign of a good book, right there. BRANDON IN TEXAS

"Reading Erik's story has been a totally captivating joy for me this past week. I was able to walk in his shoes. His, is a testimony that will transform many lives. I know it has for me. I even bought a copy for my son." TODD IN DOS PALOS, CALIFORNIA

Who knew Erik the flutemaker to be a gifted author as well as an excellent musician! I was totally entertained by his book, "Bumping Into God." His bizarre life experiences and goofy illustrations had me turning pages anxiously wanting to know, "What happened next?" What an amazing life saga! Erik's descriptive narratives of all his escapades are told with such a flare that I felt like I was his best friend and that we were passengers seated together on the "bus of life." Even though we all have our own stories, Erik's are truly more entertaining than most. I'm so fortunate to have bumped into Erik and discovered "Bumping Into God." CAROL in FREDERICKTOWN PENNSYLVANIA

 Erik, What an adventure!! I laughed out loud, and cried while taken on a roller coaster ride of adventures - not only those of the flutemaker, but so many stories meticulously recorded of others... So candid and open, refreshing and inspiring! From the wonderful stories, to the cartoon artwork, this is a journey that I am thrilled to have lived vicariously through the pages of Bumping into God! LISA IN STRASBURG, VIRGINIA

 I have read dozens upon dozens of biographies and Erik's autobiography is one of the best and most entertaining I have ever read. IT WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH SEVERAL COUNTRIES AND DIFFERENT CONTINENTS. You'll have a hard time putting this book down, as one exciting scenario leads to another…you'll have a hard time knowing what is around the next corner. I LAUGHED AND CRIED AS I WENT WITH ERIK ON HIS LIFE JOURNEY. I THOUGHT I KNEW THIS MAN THEY CALL ERIK THE FLUTE MAKER BEFORE READING HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY, BUT WHAT I READ BLEW ME AWAY. HE HAD NEVER TOLD ME HOW FULL AND EXCITING, MANY TIMES DANGEROUS, HIS LIFE HAS BEEN. I cannot recommend this book enough. CURTIS in WASHINGTON.

I purchased Erik's book on a Sunday morning and I started reading it Sunday evening and I finished it on Thursday morning. I couldn't put it down. It is a wonderful book. I've read hundreds of books and Erik's book is right up there as one of the best. It is very well written and not only tells Erik's story but there are many other testimonies of what God has done in other peoples lives. Amazing and wonderful testimonies of God's miracles. This book made me laugh and it made me cry. I will recommend this book to all my friends CORDY in MIAMI, FLORIDA

Bumping into God - Paperback

Bumping into God - Paperback

Erik’s search for meaning in life took him to places and situations that few of us can imagine. His authenticity and transparency in his retelling of this journey creates a compelling story in the midst of danger and struggle. It is not difficult to see through his narrative that God was patiently pursuing him, a heart hungry for what only the God of the universe can offer. Donna in Dallas Texas, April 13th, 2017
Wow, what a great read your book is! It has been a fantastic experience as you take me through the layers of your life. I love the illustrations, however, you don’t even need them because you are so thoroughly descriptive while talking directly to the reader. You are so engaging! I always knew you had a gift for speaking but writing a book is a very difficult and time-consuming thing for anyone to do… however, man… it has truly been a pleasure experiencing all of your adventures right along with you whilst reading this book. A huge congrats and an even bigger THANK YOU. This book brought me clarity, peace and forgiveness. Constanza in Los Angeles Dec.6th 2016
I am in chapter 5 of Erik's book and can't put it down. I haven't read a book in an awfully long time that made me laugh and cry not even half way through. What an inspiration! Just got my Calypso and am totally hooked. What a fantastic instrument. Thanks Erik for the wonderful story, inspiration, and amazing instruments! Paul L. in San Diego, California Oct. 15th, 2016
I just received your book and it is very hard to put down! May God richly bless you. Jesse Kropf in Lebanon PA. Sept 19, 2016
Hello Erik As far as your book goes, I just started reading it today, and it has kept me very interested and is tough to put down! Thank you for all you do with flutemaker ministries and thank you again for providing the world with musical, cinematic (Youtube), and literary entertainment for years to come! God bless. Carl in Montrose, Minnesota Aug. 6, 2016
"Bumping Into God" was a splendid adventure! As I accompanied Erik on his intriguing literary escapades, I felt the thrills and chills of rebels and revolutionaries, and found refuge with pastors and peacekeepers. Led by melody, bamboo, and his quest for enlightenment, he blazed a spiritual pathway through the jungles of human experience. A true missionary, his story makes a terrific read, and I was truly sorry to see it end. Marcie Davis in Florida Oct.17th, 2014
Dear Erik, What a wonderful sense of humor you have. I loved your book! What an exciting life. It certainly held my interest from beginning to end. You are quite the adventurous soul and I commend you as a courageous man of your convictions. I laughed and cried with you and feel like I really got to know you. I also enjoyed your imaginative artwork. Sincerely with love, Joanie Tardiff, Lighthouse Point, Florida, October 8, 2014

Erik: I'm just now at the "The Night at the Pier" in your book. Less than a hundred pages to go and I really don't want it to end. Sign of a good book, right there. Thank you and God bless. Brandon Callaway in Texas, June 29, 2011

Dear Erik: I play your flutes in the morning and evening... and to my surprise, my neighbors are still smiling ;). During my metro journeys back and forth across Prague I enjoy your thick book. Writing is drawing with the mind. As a former magazine editor and Time freelancer, your writing is an inspiration. I enjoy your refreshingly fluid way of storytelling. Thanks! Peace and blessings. John Goddard in Prague Czech Republic, November 17, 2010
Who knew Erik the flutemaker to be a gifted author as well as an excellent musician! I was totally entertained by his book, "Bumping Into God." His bizarre life experiences and goofy illustrations had me turning pages anxiously wanting to know, "What happened next?" What an amazing life saga! So much more entertaining than watching Ozzie Ozborne on reality TV. Erik's descriptive narratives of all his escapades are told with such a flare that I felt like I was his best friend and that we were passengers seated together on the "bus of life." Even though we all have our own stories, Erik's are truly more entertaining than most. I'm so fortunate to have bumped into Erik and discovered "Bumping Into God."

Dear Erik, I want to publish it. I love, love, love, love, love your book... Big potential to do good. It's really and literally wonder-ful!!!

Erik: Just wanted to let you know how much that I enjoyed your book Bumping into GOD. This is one book I could not put down once I started to read it. The book at times made me laugh and cry; oops men aren't suppose to say that ! I would rate this book FIVE stars and just want to say THANK YOU for putting your life story in such a wonderdful book. God bless you! Patrick Sundman in Miami Jan. 2010
Bravo! I'm hooked and reading when I should be sleeping. Bravo! Garth Dennis Internet Business Consultant in Texas Jan 2010
I have read dozens upon dozens of biographies and continually read biographical stories. Erik's autobiography is one of the best and most entertaining I have ever read. It will take you on a spiritual journey, traveling through several countries and different continents, following Erik from his early childhood to this present day. You might be tempted to forget at times that what you are reading is not a great fictional adventure, but is actually a true story of one man's road to truth.
You'll have a hard time putting this book down, as one exciting scenario leads to another and yet another. With the book's unpredictability you'll have a hard time knowing what is around the next corner. I laughed and cried as I went with Erik on his life journey. I thought I knew this man they call Erik the Flute Maker before reading his autobiography, but what I read blew me away. He had never told me how full and exciting, many times dangerous, his life has been.
I cannot recommend this book enough. I hope and pray that everyone who gets the chance to read Bumping Into God does so. I'm sure they won't be disappointed. Curtis Lee Hall in Buckley, Washington, November 25th, 2009
Dear Erik: ...your book is awesome and very well written. Thank you and God bless you . Jonathan Kulik, Searcy, AZ. Jan 2010
