The Forgiveness Effect

“I finished your book. The horrific things that were unjustly done to you by people who were supposed to love and protect you is appalling. So happy you found true love in Leslie and you are living on the other side of what was done to you. Pray that God will use this book to set more people free!”

“I finished your book last weekend and loved it. The book was truly inspiring and also motivating. After spending time talking to you when you visited, the book put all the pieces together of your life. Good luck with the book, and thanks for writing it.”

“Lou, Thanks for writing your book. Yesterday I got your book. I am almost finished reading it. Thanks. I can’t thank you enough. I too have suffered sexual abuse. Somewhat different. But I benefitted from your book. Love you and Leslie. I’m still exploring, growing and trying to understand the process. Thanks.”

“I just finished your book. Truly inspiring! And you are so 'right' in everything you say. Talk about determined. What a journey. Your ending was so powerful, the perfect summary. It makes you look inside yourself over and over. One of the best pieces of advice you can give: 'Look inside yourself.' Thanks for taking me on your journey. I learned so much.”

“I finished your book. Very interesting story. You have a lot of courage to put that all in writing. I enjoyed your story of meeting Leslie. Your idea of identifying characteristics is dead on. I'm a serious list maker too, so I enjoyed seeing the actual list in the book. That was a great touch that made it more authentic.”

“We met at NALC. I'm so glad we did. I bought your book. I couldn't put it down. Well actually I did, because I didn't want it to end. Thanks for opening up and sharing such personal experiences.”
