By John Wayne Samples
"Having seen many of his sketches, I can attest that John Samples writes in a way that is a reflection of the way he lives; with wit and humor, challenge and passion.
"He is a man of honesty and integrity who looks at real life and relates it to the reader/viewer with authentic transcendency.
"Prepare to be spiritually moved by the contents of this book!"
 | Dave Stroop Director of Creative Programming Traders Point Christian Church, Indianapolis Community Church of the Rockies, Colorado Springs, Colorado Community Church, Fishers, Indiana |
"We needed a sketch quick to compliment a special service we were putting together. I had heard about John so I gave him a call. Three days later we had "St. Acceptance" which was written specifically for us.
"Our people talked about the sketch, and more importantly about the message, for months.
"I've been looking forward to this book ever since!"
| Norman Abbott Christ's Church in the Capital District, Albany, New York |
