From am email received this week:
“Hi Gary,
I spoke with you last Sunday night. I just wanted to reiterate what I told you that night in saying your book “The Fog Lifter” really helped me through the struggles I was going through at the time. It was easy to read and understand. Your personal battles and story really connected with me and gave me a greater understanding and insight into mental illness as a whole. Being a police officer I deal with mental health related jobs nearly every shift and having read your book and my own personal struggles i feel now, i am more equipped then ever to help deal with these sort of situations at work. I have now passed the book onto my brother who is currently going through very severe anxiety and depression and hope it will do the same for him. I would recommend your book to anyone, christian or not who is struggling with mental illness related issues. You personally have played a HUGE role in turning me, an extreme atheist into a god believing christian. I honestly can’t thank you enough.”
“Gary has equipped our leadership team with incredibly practical and achievable methods of helping those in our lives who may battle with various forms of mental illness. His presentation was very engaging and inspiring. The fact that he teaches from a place of personal experience and victory evokes passion and hope into those who hear his wisdom. Thanks Gary for turning what can be a taboo issue into something tangible that has empowered us to help others.”
