What others are saying:
• The opportunity to be with Aric and his son, Ben, was incredible. Even though I had already made things right with my own son years ago, the discussions and the book gave me an opportunity to go deeper with him and talk more about areas of our past that need more work. Aric bringing his son was very powerful. It shows all of us that this stuff really works. It is evident in Aric’s and Ben’s relationship. -Randy T, Farmington, MI
• Thanks so much for sharing your life experience. I’ve learned to open up and I’m growing to not feel like I have to prove myself to anyone but to glorify God in all I do. -George P, Plymouth, MI
• The book has laid out concepts and truths I have not heard before. I have had my eyes opened to be defined as God sees me and first seeing that he just wants a relationship with me. I am learning to not make agreements and be defined by an illusion that tells me I have to prove my worth. -Brian H, Northville, MI
• Having you here to discuss various topics from the book's chapters has been great. Your wisdom is a great resource and much appreciated. -Roger L, Milford, MI
