 "I have just finished your book. I can't find the words to comment justly on such a marvelous work. Your candid account of the journey through the darkness of crack to the light and deliverance at the foot of the cross has enriched my life as I know it will others'. Your poetic penmanship is captivating as you engage us with enlightenment and encouragement. I felt I could not turn the pages fast enough as my God given emotions ranged from needing a hanky- to needing somebody to "hold my mule!" God has truly blessed you and inspired your writings. May He ever bless your every effort to glorify Him. And Michael, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"  ~ Katheryn Matthews, Riverside, CA.

 "Finished your book last night and want you to know my friend that you have inspired me beyond words. We travel a destructive path and to "get it" is a blessing from God! May you continue to touch lives with your words Mike. You have a gift that should never go untapped! Blessing to you in your life and recovery my friend! You have touched my heart and I pray you continue to touch others! xoxo" ~ Jan Weaver Dugan Palestine, TX (Facebook friend)

"Finished your book 2 days after I received it. Once I started I couldn't put it down. I can see this being made into a movie. Thanks Mike." Nelson Alduende
