Good Afternoon Mrs. Gordon,
I just wanted to tell you that I started reading your book and I'm only at pg 47 but I've marked off SEVERAL pages already that I can relate to. You definitely tap into the deepest emotions a person can feel when they're going through. I'm looking forward to what the rest of the book has in store for me.

Hey Girl,
Today, on my way to work I decided to read a bit more from the book. I finished up Chapter One and Chapter Two. During Chapter Two (mind you I am on the train), tears started rolling down my eyes. It was as if the band-aid was taken off and a wound reopened, which goes to show you that the wound has not completely healed. It allowed me to see, to some extent, why I felt the way I felt and did some of the things I did. It also help me to understand the actions of my children because the cycle had been repeated. But most of all, the tears were of joy. Letting me know what a good God we serve and how he is forever keeping and blessing me.
If just reading the first two chapters had this effect on me, I shudder to think what awaits me in the latter pages. For you to share these painful, yet learning experiences with others may truly help to bless someone else.

Hello Cheryl:
I really enjoyed your book; it touched me with so many personal feelings and thoughts of my childhood, and yes, my adulthood as well. Your book helped me to reflect on some of the issues in my life that caused me to feel rejected, unloved, and not wanted by anyone.
I think you have been blessed to share your experiences with others and help us realize that we all just want to be loved. Yet, your book helps to reaffirm the greatest love of all, which is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
God has blessed you with a wonderful gift and I thank you for sharing it with the world!
God bless you,
E. Gore
Hi Cheryl,
I have enjoyed reading your book. I appreciate your insightfulness and strength to be vulnerable. I am sure God will use it to heal many lives and you will hear testimonies to that end. I have already started telling others about it. I know that I will refer to it, in my work with my clients and in other areas of ministry. The Word says that your gift will create a space for you and bring you before many great people. I believe you gift has found a space crowded with people.
I especially liked the piece on Process, since that seems to be my theme song. But all the works were beautifully executed.
God bless, Joyce W
Hi Cheryl
I started reading the book as soon as I got in the car and I was so drawn---I just couldn't put it down. At every stop light I was reading at the drive through I was reading when I got home I read. I was amazed at how open and transparent you were in this book.
This book goes beyond good reading---it takes you into depths that cause you to confront particular issues---knowing that the confrontation is the path to deliverance.
Thanks again, Debra

This book made me realize that what I thought I let go, was only hidden deep within triggering all the wrong emotions. My self-esteem was killed as a child and my grandmother was the only one I could go to until she died, when I was nine years old. I could never open up to anyone causing me to act out. This book made me realize that even now I seek attention because as a child I was always neglected. Because no one had the time for me to open up and express myself when I was little. I have a brick wall surrounding my inner layer of skin keeping them from getting any closer. Although I hurt on the inside no one will ever know my pain because they can only see the beautiful cover of the book and not the worn and torn pages on the inside. Engraved Messages showed me things about myself in a different light. I’m yet facing problems and situations, but this book is the key to opening the locked doors of my past.
