And then a reader says…
“This book is a tangible reminder that all things are possible through God”… and continued by saying, “It’s refreshing to read a book that brings you joy and hope, and there’s no way you can read this book and not have joy and hope!”
And another says, “Trace Embry shows us how stepping out on faith is not only “obedient”, but it’s also exciting!”
And another… “If you are looking for a modern story that is written to the caliber of the Gospel of Mark, then this is a must read!
And Film Maker, Author, and Self Teaching Activist, Sam Sorbo writes… “Sometimes a true story is too much, even for Hollywood. Whatever you believe about God, miracles, and parenting… this book is a must read.”
And finally, one reader exclaims very simply, “Inspirational!”
So, Trace, tell us, how does all that make you feel?
