I picked the book up at 1:30 Sunday afternoon and at 9:00 Sunday evening I had to stop and rest my eyes, I am a seventy year old man and was in the building trade all my life and this man made me cry. I had to rest my eyes for a whole day before I could start again. It really touched me.........A.S

I have read the book and I have heard you speak, thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us....SSR
I was there the night you spoke at the church in Sarasota and I must say, that I have never heard a group of people so quiet in my life. There had to be at least a 100 people there and you could have heard a pin drop. You had us all on the edge of our seats. You truly have a gift for story telling. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all...........................................VG.
I just had to write and tell you how much we loved your book. I read much of it to my husband----evenings or while driving. At times I got so emotionally involved that I couldn't read, so I would give it to my husband to read those sections. What a testamony the book is of God's grace and strength in difficult times. We are recomending your book to many people......Clair and Rosalie
I have just finished reading Flowers in the Crags and decided to write and tell you how much I enjoyed that book. I could scarcely lay it down since beginning it on Sunday afternoon. I believe it will be a help to many others who face difficulties similar to what you both did.............Rhoda M

I just wanted to thank you for writing this beautiful story and sharing it with the world. I especially thank you for your honesty in making yourself so vulnerable. It had to take great courage to reveal yourself in such a manner.............MB
Writing a book is one thing, but to stand in front of 300 people and deliver a message with such passion for over an hour is truly remarkable. You kept me on the edge of my seat with your ability to tell a story......and I had already read your book. I can't even sit through church that long..........thank you so much for your passion. I can't wait for your next book............Dorothy
Ralph, I wanted to let you know that last week I read your book again and I must tell you it was even better the second time. I have never done that before...............Carl
