<blockquote><p>Dear Mr. Duprey,</p> <p>My cousin Susan Wright met you and said she got a copy of your book, Jonathan Stone and the Kingdom.   She sent me a copy for my opinion.  At first, I must admit, I was skeptical because it was a book about heaven.  But after reading the first chapter, I was amazed.  It was a little like reading the Bible in 3D.  You used scripture and brought it to life.  You made it seem very personalized and made me mesmerized all the way through.<br /> I’ve been a born again Christian for 40 years, but your book brought back to me so many mistakes I’ve made over the years and how casual I sometimes get about knowing Jesus.  It is not a casual thing.  It is our whole life.<br /> Your book is a breath of fresh air and God knew who to give the job to write it.  It blessed me a lot, and I just wanted to let you know.</p> <p>Many blessings to you, your family and church.  Thank you.<br /> Ms. Lee Sinclair</p></blockquote>
