| Looking forward to reading your book. God sends us miracles all the time. All we have to do is look for them and open our hearts to God. He embraces each and everyone of us always. |

| Your story amazed me from the first time you shared it with me. The word "Coincidence" pales in comparison to the series of connected miracles that occurred in your life. |
| I consider myself blessed to have heard your story from you personally, to now carry it in my mind, and to have shared it with others. |

| It is nice to see someone in the Architecture/Design industry taking a stand for Christ. That is something that is hard to find. May God bless you and use you for His glory. |

God Smiles for Me is excellent; a real page-turner. My wife has already read it in one sitting (which she NEVER does). Your manuscript is truly inspiring work! If only everyone could peer through the gloom and uncertainty and see the hand of God as you have done, my oh my, would the world be a better place. I can't wait to get a copy when it comes out. A great witness indeed. |
| Blessings... |

How blessed am I to hear about your book, and the way you have shared your faith with the world through the article The Day I Almost Died. My husband and I will look forward to reading God Smiles for Me and to using it as a resource and gift item in the future. This is a message and testimony the world needs to hear from each of us as followers of Christ; this is what it means to "Take up the Cross" and we encourage you to continue forward with the writing talents God has given you. |

Reading the draft of your book, God Smiles for Me was inspirational. It is a great witness to your faith in God and thank you for sharing it with me. |
| I found your great life experience moving and very realistic. Frankly, everyone who reads it will see themselves in the story because we are all guilty of taking life for granted. Your illness and subsequent treatment was far more than most of us will have to experience but, I now have a much greater appreciation for the faith in God exemplified throughout this most difficult time in your life. You leave no doubt that it was only by the Grace of God that you survived to tell about it and that you are now a new and better person as result of the experience. |
You expressed so well how the love and support from your wife, Pat, and from your children, kept you focused on the really important things in life. I found your book very worthwhile reading; learning more about you, about life and about God. |

I just finished reading your story, The Day I Almost Died about what you and Pat have experienced as a result of your health issues. What a story!! You are, indeed, lucky to be alive. What a terrific twosome you two must be, regarding your love and devotion to each other, and your commitment to the community and city in which you live. |

We haven't had the pleasure of meeting but I feel I know you quite well already. Once I began reading God Smiles for Me I couldn't put it down. What a marvelous testimony! I could relate to your story very well and found it quite accurate from a medical viewpoint to the spiritual/emotional side (from personal experience in my own life). |
Your book is extremely well written, genuine, and flows well. I believe everyone who reads it will be touched in a very special way. Thank you for your testimony and your willingness to share. |

Wow! You have written a page-turner. The story of your battles physically and mentally just gripped my heart and mind, and I couldn't wait to read the next chapter. And through it all, your faith in God's grace and your powerful witness of Christ's love shines through like a beacon. |
Yes, God sent you back for a reason. Maybe this book, and others to come, is it. |

Your book took a good look into an unusual success, an unusual tragedy, and made it into an unusual blessing. I got a clear idea of how life was before that tragedy and could almost feel the pain and emotions that followed discovery of the tumor. |
The important lesson to me after reading God Smiles for Me was to learn from every experience, capture every moment and realize every day is a blessing. |

As for the content...I loved it. As I read your book God Smiles for Me I found myself looking forward to the poems at the beginning of each chapter. They are very descriptive and a little window to your soul. They are also a very interesting addition to telling your story. And your closing chapter is so very well written and quite beautiful. It sums it all up in a wonderfull way. |
For me, your book made me stop to consider my own purpose and caused me to consider how to better use my allotted time. I loved your expression, "God Smiles for Me." |

It was an honor and a privilege to read God Smiles for Me. I think your book will strengthen the faith of all who read it. It has surely strengthened mine, touching me in many ways. Especially by reminding me how precious our time on earth is. Every time you spoke of leaving your children to go to California, I cried. Had it been me, that alone would have brought me to my knees. Your story of strength gives me peace, reminding me that no matter what we go through in life, God is always there. |
My husband found it moving too, especially your journey to heaven and speaking with Papa. This strengthened his faith and the hope that one day he will get to speak to his father again. For that we both thank you. |

I thoroughly enjoyed reading God Smiles for Me. I especially loved your poetry. I was drawn to your title immediately; and, now that I've finished reading, I really appreciate the way it captures the journey you describe. |
I believe that strangers who pick up your book will be engrossed in this miraculous tale. Your story is a life-lesson that demonstrates for me just what He can do when I live in that faith. I'm sure that others can use your story to strengthen their own walks in faith, or perhaps to learn to live in faith. You have a very inspirational story, and you tell it well. Thanks for sharing it with me. |

God Smiles for Me is absolutely marvelous. It is inspirational. As a Christian, I especially loved the message. Your style is quite effective, your voice very strong, your use of dialogue excellent and you have a great story. It seems the writing just flows without effort. |
