Thank you so much for sending us your book. I am enjoying the stories in them. It has given me even more appreciation for the people of Hawaii, who if God wills it, I will one day serve as a priest. Continue doing what you are doing, and thank you for serving our Lord in this special way. God bless you and your family.

My husband and I read one story a night. I can tell from your reflections that you spent many hours in prayer to discern what to write for each story. The editing was done well. Thank you for giving us a spiritual map.

This work is such a beautiful expression of how the Lord moves and carries our lives… and He touches us all in the most unusual ways. It proves to me that Jesus still performs miracles today, and that we should expect His miracles.

Thank you for assembling this beautiful book. Thank you for Easter’s Notes after each entry.
The whole book is such a joy, such an inspiration. I really feel a part of God’s Hawaiian community.

Easter’s book hits home. I personally know several of the Catholics who gave their testimony, which makes the reading all the more sweeter. And now I have memorized Rose Zabanal’s prayer that an Italian nun taught her (you’ll have to read it to find out). Lovely book. Thank you Easter, my loving sister-in-Christ.

…. Talk about a tear jerker! The stories are not only touching but the kind that you must let soak in to reflect on God’s goodness. What a wonderful book and so aptly titled.
