Dan Miller Author

Oh, Dan I gave your book to a friend over at our club. They have a daughter who is in a wheelchair and way over weight and quite negative or at least never would try very hard to improve herself. They gave the book to this daughter, and they told me it had changed her life!! She has read it over and over. She has lost weight, and has had a big change in attitude. She is trying to live more independently of them. (She has never held a job or lived independently of them even as an adult) Anyway they are so happy. And would love to meet you whenever you get down this way. I am going to have to get some more of your books as I am down to one left. Marlene K.

"I started reading your book during lunch and laughed by myself through the whole Whopper Junior. The book was finished before dinner!" -Doris H.- S. Dakota

"I just finished your book. It was the hardest book to read I've ever read (It's not easy to read when your eyes are filled with tears). I so closely relate to your struggles and pain and know that I too can overcome!" --Bob H. - Oregon

"In 1988 we had an auto accident where 5 died including my husband. My back was broken and I became a paraplegic. I always focus on the negative and tend to be a pessimist. I have four children. You have really inspired me to be a positive mom." -Janet J. -Missouri

"Just finished your book, Dan, for the second time. I don't like to read unless it's Garfield, Mad Magazines or Calvin and Hobbes. I think you are the most amazing person in the history of mankind. I would give up almost anything to meet you!" -Adam P. 12 years old - United Arab Emirates

"I went through a divorce about two years ago. Your book helped reaffirm that I'm OK and can go on to achieve whatever I set my mind on." - John S. - Kansas

"After reading your book, if I could get out of bed, I would Dance!" - Bessie J. - Florida (age 97)

"Mom gave me your book, LLLL! I have already finished it! Being 14 and not liking to read that much, I thought that this book was the most incredible thing that a freshman in high school could ever have! Thanks SO much!!" - Katie L. - Indiana

Dear Dan, "A friend recommended your book, L-L-L-L. I decided to skim it and read it later. NO WAY! I started-finished-didn't miss one word. Great!" - James D. 90 years old- Washington

"I blew 3 fingers off my hand (Huge firecracker). I thought my life was over. After reading your book, I now believe I can do anything! Thanks." - Brad - 19 years old - Idaho

"Dan, as I read your book, I was bowled over by the truth, that life is to good a gift to be spent worrying about what will happen next, at the same time obsessing over all that went wrong before." - Jeff H. Medical Student - California

"I had the most belly laughs & tears I've had in years. The picture on the cover, is worth the price! Dan takes you thru a lifetime of challenges most of you never dreamed of and makes us aware of our attitudes toward others. I was given my first copy--- could not put it down til finished. Bought 3 more to give to my "children". Amazon.com Buyer

Our immediate past president...gave the invocation, it consisted of four quotes from your book AND WAS GREAT! Gene Z.- President, Rotary Club of Oakland

I am a 39 yr old mother of 3 and an avid reader. I live in Newcastle N.S.W.
Australia and came across your book at a huge Christian bookstore in Sydney
(100miles South of here).
I wanted to let you know what a fabulous read it was and that I can think of
heaps of friends who will enjoy it too. It is certainly one of the most
inspirational books I've read in a very long time and is so easy to read. I
especially enjoyed the pictures of you and your family. They helped to open
your life to me and made me feel like I have traveled with you in a small
way as you have triumphed in so many varied and amazing situations.

My name is Alison Mazurkiewicz and I am a special education teacher in Dyer, Indiana. You spoke to our school system two years ago at the beginning of the year. This year I used your book as a novel for my self-contained reading class and I can't explain how much my student's got out of it. You have made a tremendous difference to them all and gave them hope in fighting their disabilities. We all love Mondays, too!! They would be thrilled if you were to contact us by email. If you get the opportunity, could you drop us a line or two? Thank you and happy holidays to you and all of your dreammakers!!!

My name is Lauri R. I met you Saturday, August 16th, at DFW Airport. I hope you remember me, I was your bus driver from the rental car center to the terminal. Your wife offered me one of your books and you signed it for me.

I loved it. I read most of it before I went home that day...between driving and ignoring other passengers because I didn't put the book down to notice them. Your book made me feel so good inside. I was laughing, crying, sighing, etc. It truly is a great book.

I have a brother, Kevin, who is now 37 as of today and he lives in a nursing center in Ft. Worth. He was diagnosed with diabetes at the age 7. He is now blind and bound to bed and wheelchair. He has dialysis three times a week. His life is there in his room with only the visits from my mom, my kids, and me and occasionally my dad and other brother. I am going to order your audio tape of the book for him (for Christmas). I don't know if it will affect him the way it has me. But your book has definitely opened my eyes and I realize now that his life would be better if he had more loving support from his family. Before, visiting Kevin, was a duty, a chore, something that had to be done so he could get his diapers and have his laundry picked up. Now I realize that even though my visits are short, it may very well be the most exciting thing he looks forward to all week. Even though I know that I love my brother, he may not. You are an inspiration. I feel guilty to say that it took reading your book before I could be more compassionate towards him (regardless of our past).
