Couldn't recommend this book enough.  The story was so compelling, honest, inspirational and down to Earth.  I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it.  There were times throughout the book that were happy, and other times where it was sad.  Overall, a very powerful story about how Mike had to take care of his wife, raise two kids, deal with deaths in the family, and deal with life in general.

This book is spiritual, inspiring and a true blessing.  It was a joy to read and be touched by so many different poems of inspiration.  It's powerful in the strength it gives.  I recommend this book to anyone who needs to be reminded that God is always on your side.  No matter your frame of mind God is ALWAYS there.
Suicide Thoughts of an Angel!  O, so powerful.

Randy Lewis delivers a powerfully moving story that is uplifting, and inspires, page-after-page. This breath-taking, heartwarming story is about how a father not only devoted his undivided attention to his autistic son as he filled his heart with unconditional love, but also how he found the courage and strength to make the world a better place to live in for people with disabilities.

This incredible story is filled with compassion not only for one child with a disability, but for all people with disabilities, who deserve to be treated with the same respect as everyone else. This title drew me in immediately for 2 reasons. One, I spent several years in the healthcare profession, caring for people of all ages with disabilities. Most important, I spent 36 years, devoting undivided attention to my own child, a severe disability since birth. I dedicated countless years, attempting to speak out in schools, working closely with medical professionals, and teachers. In addition, I created groups and joined organizations to create workshops, and activities to help provide better opportunities.

As the author highlighted in this exhilarating story, we are their voice and their chance to make dreams come true, and not only have I seen remarkable progress for opportunities, but have witnessed changes for the better in several people I've known with disabilities. It takes dedication, devotion, and unconditional love everyday. But it can be done, and produce positive results. Inspiring, uplifting, and heartwarming. Highly recommended to parents, teachers, and child-care providers!

This book contains amazingly powerful poems speaking of an arduous journey out of the darkness and into a spiritual light of hope and promise.  These words will touch every reader as we see glimpses of our own pain and hope.

The provocative words are edgy and authentic and truly encourage us to recognize the steps of our own despair on our own journey to hope and promise.  These poems reflect the depth of hurt of the writers and allow the reader to see the flight from the desperation of lost children to the light of understanding that there is a greater "family" available to all.

The voyages of both John and Belinda from darkness to light bring hope, strength and courage to anyone who is seeking guidance and growth through a spiritual path.

Aaron's journey provides proof and an affirmation that each day is a gift and a wonderful opportunity for each of us. His incredible story is both an inspiration and a declaration for the wonderful people, and situations that permeate throughout our lives. This powerful book was a wake-up call for me to pay more attention to the great gift that life is and to stop spending my time complaining and instead to seize the opportunities to make my life more fulfilling and the lives of all the wonderful people around me better.
I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to gain perspective on the joy and the gift that life truly is.

Recently, I had the pleasure of reading a truly inspirational book.

Author Nick Vujicic, someone I've never heard of, touched me with his words. Unstoppable, "The Incredible Power of Faith in Action" is a nonfiction journey through this motivational speaker's life. It's his second book to date and follows, "Life without Limbs."

The writer explains the difference between having faith and living in faith, two totally different things. I was left a little ashamed of myself. You see, I want to know my life's purpose, I've been praying and waiting for a sign, thinking that was enough. Now I realize that it's not.

Some parts are laugh out loud funny. Nick can pull it off because he is so comfortable with himself. Other chapters are very disturbing. Do you know that in some parts of the world disabled children are murdered? Some are buried alive!

I didn't know about the common horrific acts performed on women in some countries! I loved the fact that he spoke to Muslims and adjusted his speech accordingly. It proves that you can reach anyone. Nick realizes that the ideas of society as a whole change one person at a time.

Several stories are about the people (young and old) that he has come in contact with. He shares their experiences to make a point. No one wants to feel different. And we all want to feel valued and loved.

A Lack of happiness and self-confidence leads to anxiety, depression and other complications so he has outlined signs to watch for and other great resource information.

I'm thankful I found this book. If you want to see and hear more go to YouTube for videos. Be sure to visit his website.  I received a free copy of this book from Waterbrook Press for an honest review.

I had the rare opportunity of spending two weeks with Leanne and her husband Murray in Romania this past summer and was given the opportunity to read The Power of Things Unseen prior to its release. This book is truly inspirational; Leanne's willingness to brave new adventures and take chances in life is a rare and powerful gift. Her open heart and drive to improve the lives of others literally jumps off the pages. Her stories are always touching and often humorous. Please don't miss the chance to read this rare gem of a book and get ready to be inspired for the New Year.

I found this book to be very powerful in it's simplicity.  The modern-day vernacular of the narration enabled me to glide through the material as comfortably as if I were listening to an old friend tell a story.  And, the majestic splendor described in much of the scenic backdrop reminds me of why I love books; it is the only medium that allows us to visualize in our own mind's eye.  I found the overall message uplifting and inspirational.  I felt as though I was taking the journey right along side the narrator, and I recommend that you take the journey as well.  You'll be glad you did.

This courageous story is so powerful and touching.  I couldn't wait for my copy of the book to arrive, and I couldn't put it down once it got here.  It is a beautifully written story of tragedy, heartbreak and grief, but also of hope, resilience and blessings.  Todd and Tara Storch are remarkable people.  In the face of adversity, they are doing great things.  Their daughter, Taylor, has done great things.  What a true inspiration this entire family is!  Their strength, courage and grace are undeniable.  I encourage everyone to read this book and learn about Taylor, her gift of organ donation, and the lives this unimaginable tragedy has impacted and irrevocably woven together.  It is a very compelling, life altering story that will stretch your faith and fill you with hope and compassion.  Thank you, Todd and Tara, for sharing your private, heart wrenching pain, and thank you for your choices, your passion and your commitment to increase organ donation awareness.  Outlive yourself!

This book is remarkable.  I gave myself a mini-retreat for a weekend, immersing myself in Barbara's journey, and gained a renewal of my own heart-flame.  Barbara's incredible experiences, beautifully expressed, encourage me to have more compassion for myself, and...to take heart, to keep on, to pledge myself to joy, to ask more of myself and of life.  I feel inspired to write again, and to revel in life.  These poems are profoundly moving, courageous and powerful.  I can't wait for her next book; what an extraordinary woman.

I bought this book to support an amazing person, whom I have loved from the moment I met her. I was not surprised by her talent, and not surprised at her being an inspiration, but I was so surprised and so proud, that I know this amazing woman. Her book was eye opening, and such a huge lesson for anyone that has gone through any turmoil in their lifetime. She takes you on her  journey, and you feel as though your experiencing it all with her. I learned so much from this story of her life thus far, and I was greatly inspired  from her courage and strength. I knew she was amazing, but now I see her in a whole new light, and her light is bright, strong, and the light we should all walk in. I would love to read more from this author. If only everyone had this kind of courage and strength, the world would be a far better place.

The Spirit of David is a compelling book loaded with inspiring stories.  They will not only lift your mind but reach your hearts and take you through your future days.  Once you have turned the page to the first story you will be wrapped up into each courageous moment throughout every hopeful story.  As you read this encouraging book you will find yourself reading the stories over and over again.  You may cherish this book and carry it with you on your daily trips.  It will constantly remind you of those people who have overcome - winning against all odds.  We are all capable of doing that. I see the book as a gem of hope, friendship and care.  We are not alone.  We are together.

What a remarkable bookobviously written by someone who found power through love and truth. He has convinced me that we are even more powerful than I thought. Thank you Gudni Gunnarson. I'm not done with the book yet, I'm inspired to write a review so others will see what an inspiring book they have before them. I can't wait to finish and further practice keen insight to the power within us you describe so eloquently here.

I don't feel I can find the appropriate words to delivery how much I have been effected by this story. I found myself laughing out loud in moments, while crying heavily in others. The author's strength, creative soul and most profoundly --her humanity transcends life itself. This story moves me. The kindness the author encountered amongst so many strangers along her journey moves me. I found myself crying on the subway on my way to work this morning rereading beautiful passage about her son and a special bunny named Thumper.

Most eloquently stated by the author," There are things more powerful than our best intentions; that life is painted in broader strokes than we can imagine and all we can do is our best." I felt so connected to her and her view of life, and the strength to weather life's obstacles with an overwhelming endurance, to fully embrace life with an open heart and tender kindness..

After reading her book, I felt more available to the present moment and wanted to live, to take, to enjoy, to really experience life in all its fullest. The author and her actions really impacted me. She's is an incredble woman. I highly recommend this book as a very powerful, moving journey into her love for her son, her soul, and her humanity effecting thousands.
