WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT ARMS OF LOVE: |
|
TEENAGE GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN:
"As soon as I opened it,
I could not put it down. The story was so real. Through your
story, I not only learned more about relationships, but also about my
faith. It was so much easier for me to understand our Catholic
church than any other book I had that focused on the Church. I am
so blessed that you were inspired to write a story where I felt God was
speaking directly to me."
"It has changed my out
look on life and faith completely!"
"Before I read your book
I was someone I didn't like. I lied, I cheated, I did stuff that I
am really not proud of. I didn't see all of the people I was
letting down, including myself and God. After reading your book it
changed me and I realized what I was doing with my life. Your book
changed my life so much and made it incredibly better. I don't
know what to do to repay you."
"I can tell you that
without a doubt, through the Grace of God, this novel has turned on the
light bulb in my head. About halfway through the book something
just clicked and set my heart on fire, burning to live for and develop a
relationship with Jesus! I'm anxiously awaiting a sequel!"
"In Arms of Love, the
reader is shown ways to incorporate a Catholic approach to everyday life
challenges, and for myself acted as a catalyst in asking the question:
'Am I living life for the glory of God?'"
"It was the most
inspirational novel I have ever read. I really felt God talking to
me through it in many ways, answering questions I didn't even know I
had."
"I found the book to be
truly inspiring and my faith life has grown so much since I read the
book. Not only is the book a useful tool regarding relationships,
it is also a way to learn more about the Catholic Church."
"It was by far the most
amazing and inspirational book I've ever read! Even though these
two amazing characters aren't real... I still look up to them as role
models. I could write a hundred pages on all the things that your
book has done for me."
"Reading your book opened
up new doors and provided me with a solid foundation in regards to
starting a relationship. I tell everyone about the book and I refer to
Joanie and Brandon as if they were real people that I actually know."
"I found the character
Joanie to be absolutely inspirational. Her constant devotion to
our Lord and her resolve to guard her heart reminded me of my need to
love the Lord above all and to trust in Him, that He will provide a man
who can love me the way I deserve to be loved."
"This book really put my
life into perspective. It changed everything. In this world
that tries to confuse you, with world-crazy friends that tell you to do
the opposite, this book really made me see why it is important to be
pure and it showed me how to be closer to my faith. I think every
single teen should read it!"
"Though Joanie is a
fictional character, in many ways I think she's become a real person to
many of your readers because of the inspiration and holy example she
brings to them. And Brandon reminds us that we are all in need of
a sort of spiritual "conversion". They inspire us to be better
people. Young people don't need all of the "smart love" books that
are on the market nowadays. They need books like Arms of Love that
define true, pure love for them!!
"I can't tell you enough
about how much I loved your book! I recommend it to ALL of my
friends, because even though it is a fictional book, it has so much
truth to it, and that gives me hope to wait for something better than
what only this world has to offer me."
"This novel was a true
example of holy romance, sacrificial love and Christ’s sanctifying
grace.”

TEENAGE BOYS AND YOUNG MEN:
“God used your book to
supply hope to me where despair was gaining a foothold. I loved this
book so much and I greatly anticipate another one.”
"I can't believe how real
the characters all became to me! Arms of Love is a moving
experience I will never forget!"
"While I was skeptical
for the first few chapters, by chapter 47 I gave up going out with the
guys because I was so close to being done. Thank you for your
book. It was truly inspiring! God bless you and the work you
do!"
"It really taught me what
relationships should be all about and gave me good guidelines to help
keep them focused on Christ and purity. By reading Arms of Love, I have learned all about
courtship, surrendering deeper into God's will
and the virtues of fortitude, prudence, and purity. "
"I have yet to read a
book on the subject of courtship that has had such a strong impact on my
Catholic faith. Arms of Love teaches courtship on a much more
understandable level. Even on my second time reading this book I
still learnt things about my faith. This book has definitely helped me
draw closer to Jesus in a big way!"

FATHERS, MOTHERS AND SINGLE ADULTS:
"I have now made it
'required' reading for our two teenage sons. I am not a big reader of
fiction books, but this book is excellent and drives home the teaching
we are attempting with our sons with great eloquence."
“I was refreshed and
inspired by the whole story."
"ARMS OF LOVE is a
compelling witness to the universal call to holiness and how we, despite
our failings, can live out that call."
“I find it has given a
new springtime to my vocation as a wife and mother.”
"Your story is very close
of that of young Catholics who have been raised and have built their
families during the period of great John Paul II."
"I really enjoyed finally
reading a wholesome book that speaks of the Catholic faith and its
teachings so well. Today's world bombards our children with a very
mixed message regarding sexuality, so having a novel like yours is
essential."
"Thank you for giving me
the revelation I needed in my life. It was a life changing
moment."

PRIESTS:
"Life can make you
cynical, and your novel was the perfect antidote!"
"May I be so bold as to
present to you 'a must read'! Be entertained, be inspired, be
edified, and be renewed in hope for marriage and family life in our own
day!"
