An Amazing Two Years!
What I thought would be two months turned into two years. As I approach the final days until my book is released I have a number of thoughts and emotions swirling in and around me. I am very thankful. And, apprehensive. A book that lays out many details of your life can be disconcerting and yet authenticity is required to be of value.
The early reviews have been more positive than I ever dreamed. Strong and encouraging with a consensus of timeliness and accuracy. I’m more than thankful.
Some Early Reviews
“Rick’s amazing book is a heartfelt love letter from God to the world. Whether you have a relationship with your biological father or not, Rick’s true story of his journey from abandonment to his understanding that God is our Father and that love is a decision will touch you and impact all of your relationships. Rick’s book should be required reading for all fathers.”
Kevin Knebl, CMEC – Int’l Speaker/Author/Trainer/ Executive Coach and the Co-Author of “The Social Media Sales Revolution: The New Rules for Finding Customers, Building Relationships, and Closing More Sales Through Online Networking” (McGraw-Hill)
This isn’t just a novel it’s a journey. Rick takes you with him through the muck and mire while showing glimpses of the deepest imaginable love. It isn’t just a book for the “fatherless,” but a book for anyone struggling to find their own worth or hold on to it. It’s easy to get lost in our busy and socially overwhelming world, but Rick’s book is like a map to guide you. The love he feels for his grandson is one we all strive to reach. The love he feels from his God is one people have missed, lost or constantly seek and you learn, from Rick’s experience that it wasn’t an easy path of awareness or acceptance. Read this. You’ll find yourself.

Rick’s story will start any reader down a path of healing, especially those who are fatherless, by helping them expose the lies in the mind and allowing them to see the truth. We have a fatherless world and so much pain stems from that problem. My prayer is that this book will add momentum to the movement rallying to help solve this problem. This book is well written and captured my attention right from the start. Well done, Rick! Thank you for your openness and transparency to help others find what you have found, even in the pain.

As someone who in not an avid reader, I could not put this book down. I found myself laughing and crying and wanting to hug and salute Rick for the courage it took to live a painful story and now share it. This book is a powerfully vivid and reflective journey inviting the senses and emotions of the reader. It encapsulates suffering in its rawest form giving insight into an intense personal and painful reality of hurt, misunderstanding, hope, and healing.

I’m on a mission to help people find Identity, Affirmation, and Clarity in a world that so carelessly strips it all away.
Hello Rick, I’m starting a series on how to promote fellow authors in our midst and a possible review of a book/novel each month. I wonder how I can get your book to read? Unfortunately where I am in the UAE purchasing stuff from Amazon is a challenge.
I should have the eBook up soon> There’s some sort of glitch we are trying to fix. Thanks for your interest.
[…] An amazing two years You know when you start writing that book and figure out that it will take mere weeks, which runs into a year and some and the story simply gets deeper…Check out Rick’s journey. […]
Thank you, Jacqueline. You’re very kind! to
