Joe Camp spent decades butting heads with God. He fancied himself a believer, but only, in truth, because he had been brought up to be. He had never really 
given it much thought. God was there, somewhere. Just not much of a factor in his life. Or so he thought until the day God actually spoke to him. Joe says. “He couldn’t have painted a better picture if He had waltzed into Dallas, placed his hand around my throat and said, Look stupid, I’ve gone to a lot of trouble to set all this up, now back off and let this man talk!’
What happened next began a relationship with God that would turn Joe’s life on its ear and leave him forever changed. Learn how God orchestrated the successes of Benji and The Soul of a Horse even while Joe was headed off in other directions. And still it took another twenty years for Joe to fully, unequivocally trust God. And to actually see the way God had been active in his life from the beginning. To understand how every devastation that he believed to be surely the end of life as he knew it had to happen exactly as God orchestrated it or there never would’ve been a Benji. Or a Benji film that became the #3 movie of the year. And there never would’ve been a best selling book that is changing the lives of horses all across the planet. Or a second love of his life after his Carolyn was called home.
God Only Knows is like reading a novel, emotionally involving and full of conflict while ever shredding away the camouflage of our resistance to fully trusting God so that we might banish the worries and concerns and climb out of the devastations because we know He is there, front and center, giving us the actual evidence that He is actively involved in our lives and loves us. Evidence that we can see and feel and touch.
Joe had to learn that God’s plan almost always involved the dreaded word change; that very harsh times are often the cook pot of wonderful events; that God is always working in your life whether you want Him to or not. All of that is what this book is about. While hopefully inspiring you to listen up. To experience for yourself that moment when you realize that what you just witnessed was God in your life.

A NOTE FROM KATHLEEN
Hi everybody. This is Kathleen. I sent Joe to the barn so I could write this piece of truth… about this book. This one’s more about Benji and less about horses… unless you’ve ever wondered what kind of person could begin writing a book like The Soul of a Horse less than a year-and-a-half after acquiring his very first one. This book will answer that question (in spades!). Because this journey is the one that created the man who has meant so much to you and your horses. It’s called: God Only Knows – Can You Trust Him with the Secret?
You will love it. I promise.
Thanks bunches and thank you so much for the support and encouragement you’ve given my hubby – Kathleen
What Critics and Readers Say About the Books of Joe Camp
“Joe Camp is a master storyteller.” – The New York Times
“Joe Camp’s new book, God Only Knows – Can You Trust Him with the Secret is a riveting read with an important message. Through Camp’s thought-provoking, well told, and courageously honest story, we have the privilege of witnessing another’s life at warp speed, to see how it all brilliantly plays out. It’s a detailed, emotional, complicated, exhilarating story, with an ending only God could have written! Several years ago I read Camp’s The Soul of a Horse – Life Lessons from the Herd and it blew me away. I loved this new book no less and highly recommend it!” – Raina Smith, What Raina’s Reading, OnlineRI.com
“I LOVED GOD ONLY KNOWS! Joe writes extremely well. The words flow so beautifully that it feels like I’m having a conversation with him. The feelings he brings out are wonderful…uplifting and sometimes sad. I think anyone who saw the Benji movies will want to own this book. The movies move so flawlessly from scene to scene that no one would ever know how much work was involved just to get that one shot and also all the work going from city to city to promote it. Towards the end of the book when he’s looking for a distributor I got so pumped! Why? Because when the ‘big wigs’ wouldn’t take on the film he never ever let anyone tell him he couldn’t do it. He soldiered on (and we are all glad and grateful that he did! ) For who benefits more than Joe from these movies? WE DO! And the good feeling from them radiates throughout the entire world.
Thank God for such perseverance and tenacity. He knew within his soul that this could work… no ‘if, ands or buts’. That in itself is one of the greatest lessons of all… never give up! It’s too easy to lay down and die…..why not fight for what you believe in and help change the world?
Anyone starting out on their own, absolutely MUST buy this book. It is so easy nowadays to leave your passion behind if you believe what others say. So difficult to have faith in yourself, that it can work, that it WILL work, if just given the chance. I’m thrilled for Joe Camp! And I thank him for sharing his gifts with us all.” – Margaret Churchill – Reader

The story of our journey with horses (to date) is told in the two books that follow: the national best seller The Soul of a Horse – Life Lessons from the Herd and its sequel Born Wild – The Soul of a Horse.
And what a story it is as two novices without a clue stumble and bumble their way through the learning process so that hopefully you won’t have to. If you haven’t read both of these books already please do because with that reading, I believe, will come not just the knowledge of discovery but the passion and the excitement to cause you to commit to your journey with horses, to do for the horse without waiver so that your relationship and experience will be with loving, happy and healthy horses who are willing partners and who never stop trying for you. Horses like ours.
