Until I stumbled across Euphoria I considered Christian fiction to be spiritual baby-food – all mushy! I saw myself as a mature Christian, dining on strong spiritual meat, quite above reading anything as trivial as “Christian Fiction.”

At the time, Euphoria began with the words, “I’d love your feedback.” Well, to give feedback, I’d have to read it, wouldn’t I?

I did – and I haven’t been the same since.

As I read, my soul fed on rare, iridescent beauty. I have found nothing like it on the Internet. I am not an imaginative person, and yet my spirit soared as I read magnificent descriptions, and “listened in” on lofty and challenging dialog. My concepts of time, space, reality, and nature were stretched – especially nature!

I am left with a greatly increased love for, reverence for, and appreciation of, my awesome God.

WOW, you have such a talent with words! The way you describe the places you find yourself in is amazing and truly brings the scenes to life. As a writer myself I can appreciate talent when I see it! But more than this, you have really helped me ‘see’ the awesome majesty of God, and his overwhelming love towards us. What a passionate, kind, incredibly intelligent, stunning God we serve! And how did you think up so many adjectives and metaphors etc to describe HIM, heaven and the angels? I am completely jealous! Your writing has really helped lift my faith levels, and I intend to look back at it whenever I feel a downward spiral coming on. I was especially moved over your description of the crucifixion scene. After having shared the beauty of heaven and the angels etc, and then to be faced with the reality of his death deeply stirred me and gave me such a deeper appreciation of all he has done for us.

When I come across writing such as in Euphoria I hold it closely because it paints for me the mental pictures I so desperately need to see and new concepts I so desperately need to embrace. THANK YOU.

I do hope that you will share your novel with many others that they might be as blessed as I have been! Not everyone has the gift of being able to put in words such things as you have. Please don’t stop writing! And although I read so many of your webpages and was really encouraged by them, even they did not have the same impact on my spirit as your fiction did.

One other thought: as I was reading, it felt very much like reading a play as would be seen in the West End in London. What a wonderful impact that would have. Have you ever considered submitting it for the stage? Don’t laugh but it would hold its own against A Midsummer Night’s Dream!

Be blessed,
