My
book, Embracing the
Gray: A Wing a Prayer, and A Doubter’s Resolve, has elicited a slew of letters and e-mails. Here are excerpts of some that have
come in…
Just finished Embracing the Gray, and there were so
many lessons. Thanks Mark for writing it down, I cried more than a couple of
times. Great Book!

Mark, I am
about 1/4 of the way into it and I had to stop be cause my husband wanted to
read it. So, we compromised... I started over and am reading it out loud to
him. I can't wait till morning so I can pick up where i left off tonight! When
you make this a movie... oh and yes you should!! Fantastic stuff Mark!

My soul is
being fed. Grateful. I finished your book tonight. Wow! There
are so many things running through my head. It came at a very important and
significant weekend for me. And even the process of getting your book into my
hands (well, downloaded to my computer) was God given and ordained . . . and I
don't say that lightly.

Okay I just finished the book. Thanks for having
the last chapter on how you are embracing the gray, it is helpful as I am spent
and hurt all over. I think it will help a lot of people understand that they
are not the only ones to question God and to suffer with confusion with God. Your
words in the last chapter will comfort me, as I am sure I will read them often.
N.S.
Thank you for writing Embracing the Gray. I downloaded
it from your website because it sounded like it would address some problems I
am having of understanding my son. I really liked the last chapter and
found it to be encouraging. The Psalms tell us that His Word is a lamp for our
steps, a light for our path - not a floodlight to see ahead, but a light to see
each step. That's the encouragement I get from your book.

I have to say I am not sure how anyone
can put your book down; maybe they didn't ever have to face the world. It is a
tough life and I can relate to your brother and your friend who wanted to kill
himself while he is drunk. I never reached that but I understand addiction. Your
book is bringing me face to face with these demons and I pray and have been
praying I can break away. I am close to 60 and not sure how much longer I will
be here.
Your book is full of life-changing
thought. A word I never use must be used in reflecting on it: profound. I will
be loaning it to several others I know, and I am sure when it comes back to me
it will be well worn. Right now a lady who wants to commit suicide will be
reading it and I never felt a calling but when I thought about who I would
share it with next; I was compelled to share the book. Other people are in mind
but they are not suicidal but have faith so I put the books in the hand of the
needy. If I never get it back, I will buy others because I believe this is
something people should read. As much as I like Chuck Swindoll and Charles
Stanley; I don't think they have the experiences to share because they were
always surrounded by believers with issues rather than the sinners of the
world. Excellent book, everyone should read it.
D.P.
Wow! Next step
is the movie!
