“I love Brown Like Coffee...it's a fun, inspiring, encouraging, easy-going, simple read - and it points absolutely to Jesus! I gave the 2nd copy away to a college student.”
Liz
"I just read Brown Like Coffee (didn't sleep, it's 5:47 a.m.) and wanted to text my friend who also bought your book to hurry up and ready it, but will refrain from doing so until a more reasonable hour-we are college students, after all. Your book challenged me within the first few pages-I wanted to put it down and let stuff sink in, but I was hungry for more and couldn't put it down 'til I read the last word."
J. Proulx
"If you are a student, this will help you to reach other students. If you are a leader, this will help you to reach students also. It is written in such a way that you can read it all at once or little by little. Good job list guy."
Barb Eimer
"I am a senior in high school and this book was a WONDERFUL resource for me! It was both challenging and encouraging, and I am recommending it to all my friends!"
