Here are a few of the nice things people have said about Cec’s writing:

“I’m sure you get lots of responses to your books/writing, but I want to tell you how impressed I am with your ability to pull out the story of each person you write for. Then, you stay true to that person’s voice and totally disappear from the written pages. This is a gift and developed skill. I have no doubt it was your hours of interviewing and seeking raw, honest and true emotions from both Shaun and Don that led to books that the reader can not only relate to, but can hardly put down…. I appreciate Don’s honesty in admitting he could never have written this without you. You possess a humble, nonjudgmental spirit and give people such a deep sense of acceptance – no matter what they tell you. These are indeed life-changing books, and I am eager to read more of your collaborative writing.” (Jeanne)

“Your book, 90 Minutes in Heaven, was such a help to my husband last year. He read it just prior to his mother’s passing away.” (Jo Rae)

“The group LOVES Cec’s writing and is honored to have the opportunity to work with a writer of his stature and giftings.” (Jean)

“I have been reading your book Committed but Flawed and I love it! I had planned to read it like a devotional, one chapter a day, but your book is like almonds to me … I can’t seem to stop with just one! The Lord is using you and your life to bless so very many people. Some – more than you will ever know here on earth. I look forward to being in the room of heaven when God calls all those who have been blessed by your life into your presence. I believe only God will be able to count the multitude.” (Lori)

“I wanted to tell you about a phone call I had today with a friend in San Diego. I told her about you and mentioned 90 Minutes in Heaven as a reference point. She went silent for a moment before saying, ‘That book brought my uncle to Jesus two weeks before he died. I read from that book at his funeral.’ You ripple out to so many lives in so many ways.” (Jim)

“Your legacy is more than words on paper. You have helped change lives for eternity's sake. You cannot grasp, and knowing you from your website and TWV2, I’m sure you aren’t keeping track of how many lives you have touched.” (Kathy)

“Writers know that the word ‘with’ means YOU did all the research, work, and wrote the book. Then, you manage to graciously disappear and let the ‘author’ have the limelight. Not many people have the talent or humility to be a collaborative writer – or do it well.” (Jeanne)

“You have no idea how many times your words have encouraged me or refreshed me.” (Joanne)

“You’re one of the most beloved people in the Christian publishing field because you’re so authentic.” (Jan)

“I just read your August 20th devotional ‘The Purifier’ on crosswalk.com. I just wanted to write you a short note telling you how much it captured my attention. I am recently separated from my wife of 24 years and just moved into an apartment this weekend. After reading The Purifier, I GET IT … I will look at this season of my life as an opportunity for God to purify me. I know I have to do my part and ‘lean into it.’” (Scott)

“I really liked your article posted on Crosswalk. Very simple message but packed with power. I have been dealing with this issue for the past 6 years, and daily gain victory by excellent writing as you displayed.” (Leonard)

“I uncovered your devotionals today not knowing that you were the writer. I get the daily Crosswalk. I loved your devotional very much. It touched my heart and fed my spirit. I have been doing a lot of soul searching and have a deeper hunger for my Abba Father. I love just being in His presence, to know His closeness. Thanks for sharing your devotionals.” (Sue)

“I keep re-reading 90 Minutes in Heaven, and it brings me such comfort and peace. Thank you for sharing your talent and Don’s with all of us.” (Trish)

“Thank you for the ‘real-ness’ in your writing. You never write Christian clichés. I like that. Thanks for your time and for sharing your heart.” (Lisa)

“A woman at my prayer group was given a copy of 90 Minutes. All she could talk about was the beauty of the writing, even more than the story.” (Melanie)

“Thank you for your timely message. It is a reminder of something I thought I learned previously. Unfortunately, I’ve been struggling because of my unfulfilled expectations and my ‘right’ to be treated a certain way. After reading your message and repenting, my next step is to give God my expectations. I choose to trust Him, and I’ll wait for His next instruction.” (Audrey)
