Testimonials from readers:

“I purchased the Be Brave and Arise book while attempting to hang on to a crumbling relationship. Quietly reading this book to myself and trying to apply the suggestions was really helpful in navigating the mess I was currently in and reorganizing the various elements of life that were getting neglected, while I still wasn’t fully confident in letting others know that I was struggling. Little by little I was able to regain my footing and understand that where I was at and the relationship I was in were not where I should be. I felt motivated again to be a better man by recommitting my energies to service in my community and in my efforts towards the Divine Plan, replacing poor habitual behaviors with new healthy behaviors and routines, and learning more about my own character by redefining who I am at this stage of my life. I began to seek out better examples of men and further opportunities to learn how I too could continue to grow.” Stephen Ewashko

“This is very empowering, well-written, and inspiring. Great reading!” P. B

“I really like the style in which you wrote this book. It is very appealing, and I suspect it will be very effective. My personal opinion is that this book will be received very well by all ages. It may be geared for the young, as it should be, but it is really easy to relate to one’s personal circumstances.” J. D.

“We love the style, the format, and everything about it. This book is so needed. You have covered pretty much everything. And to capture the attention and interest of our 15-year old? He was captivated. Well done.” M. S.

“Be Brave is clearly an impressive book. You have gotten some frank stories. It’s a relief to see people talking about sexual abuse, attitudes within Baha’i communities, struggles with abstinence [chastity], and so on. This is important realism for your readers.” C. S.

“When I hear ‘Be Brave’ I feel empowered and ennobled. It honors the weight of the dark forces I face in the world each day. Nothing other than true heroism, self-effacement, fearlessness, and ultimate detachment seem to be called for.” H. M.
