Testimonials

  • “ Understanding the darkness to see the light. This is not a book of answering to life situations but gives you something to think about and let you know that you are not alone. The poems are relatable to life experiences. At times I was so engaged and lost myself in the words and rhymes. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. I give this book a 10 out of 1 to 10. The writer/poet did an amazing job and I can't wait for the next book to come out. Customer image"

  • " I was not sure what the book could be about, but I order one to support Gary. I received the book on Monday, open it late Tuesday night and finished it in one setting. I don't read a lot of books, but this was a quick read, revealing, heartfelt, humble and encouraging book. I think we all can be brought down a notch or two and live peacefully instead of trying to be something we are not. Great work Gary!"

  • "Brother Smith, I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts and views in an easy reading format that pulls you in and keeps you interested. I further feel they mirror many across our nation today, which hammers home your point that “…you are not alone.” I am honored and pleased to have read it, as I found myself connecting on various levels, as you intended, throughout the work. Although, a few stood out a bit more profoundly than others. For example, I feel deeply connected to, “I pray for you,” as I have personally experienced and seen the power of prayer. Additionally, in my opinion, “Bridges and Barriers” captures firsthand society’s past, present, and foreseeable future, whether or not one wants to admit it. Finally, I believe the Lord has a much greater purpose for my life and “Righteousness” encapsulates my current journey while “Life’s Roadblocks” have shaped where I am today. I would definitely recommend this book, "Understanding the Darkness to see the Light," to even the dispassionate reader for its ease of reading, as one will certainly find something relative within."
