"Just finished Island of Saints and what a wonderful and awe inspiring journey I have taken once again with you. After completing The Traveler's Gift I wondered if I would ever again take another journey as inspiring, heartfelt and loving . . . and you did it again. I have purchased both books as gifts for other because your stories are so wonderfully universal and make such a profound impact on the spirit. Bless you and your staff for the gifts you keep on writing for us. Thank you so much for your creative expressions of love and for sharing them with us all."

"Thank you for another moving book. I finished the book on my way back from a business trip before Christmas. I was stressed from the long year of travel and a bit resentful of my wife because she was at home enjoying the comforts that we have created. I knew that she was going to give me an earful for being away again.

Before I got home, I forgave her for being made. I also forgave myself for being away so much. Those two thoughts lead to a warm welcome home and a sense of peace between us.

This morning when I was laying in bed with her I thought of all of the people that I should forgive so I can move on and take that power back from them.

I feel relieved.

Thank you for the great book!

PS. Socks for Christmas is great too!"

"I met Mr. Andrews on one of my flights. We chatted a bit and he offered me a copy of his book, "Island of Saints". I read it in two days and was extremely moved by the overall message. I recently had forgiven (in my mind and heart) a relative with whom I had been angry with for over 5 years. It wasn't until I read Mr. Andrews book that I figured out why I suddenly had peace of mind. The angry burden we carry around can be so consuming. The letting go is liberating. "Island of Saints" demonstrates how to lay down those burdens. It is a powerful story and will captivate you. "

"I have just finished "Island of Saints" and I must say I am truly Blessed to live in a time when there are awesome writers leaving a special legacy for all Mankind. I don't have the words to give you the inspiration to continue to write for us; but I trust your gift is from God and that he will continue to give you the necessary inspration. I am so disappointed when I go into my local Chapters/Indigo book stores and do not find any of your books. I do often encourage them to bring in your books and I also tell people personally of how important the messages in your books are. "

"I read The Traveler's Gift a few months ago, and shared it with a friend, who enjoyed it as much as I did. I just finished Island of Saints in one day, and was touched by the powerful message of forgiveness in this book. I'm a lay speaker in my church, and am going to try incorporate the theme of forgiveness from Island of Saints into a sermon, one I need as much as the other folks who will hear it. What an uplifting story!

I've been impressed by everything of yours that I've read, seen or listened to. How refreshing to read a story about real folks with a message of hope for the future by letting go of the past (forgiveness). I look forward to reading your next book, and plan to buy copies of your books for family and friends."

"Mr. Andrews, I believe you to be a man of faith, so it is with that thought that I'm writing this. For quite some time I've been struggling with the issue of forgiveness and personal growth. My biggest question over the past 6 months is this, if God can forgive me, why can't I?

I had heard you speak at an Advocare Event last year and so while shopping in a popular bookstore I was looking for your book called The Traveler's Gift. This particular store was out of the hard copy, so I went to find it on Audio. That's when I found the very last audio set of Island of Saints. It was the only thing on the shelf with your name on it. Slightly disheartened, I decided to buy it anyways, as a Mother's Day Gift to myself.

I truly believe that it was totally of God. Your book helped to answer this question. I laughed with them and cried with them while listening and feel as if I know them personally. If it were possible, I would find Ms. Helen and Mr. Joseph, and give them the biggest hug in the universe. Her's and Joseph's story has shown me something so simple, yet so incredibly hard to understand for myself for such a long time.

Thank You Mr. Andrews, for allowing God to use you through some buttons, photographs, and pins, found in a shortening can buried deep in your yard, to help others discover one of the greatest things in life. "Forgiveness" that people can understand. P.S. This was the very first audio book I've ever bought, but it won't be the last. Thank You again. "

"What a great piece of work! I found myself waiting for another opportunity to pick up and read. The story is captivating and the message as equally powerful. Thanks so much. I kept searching and asking myself how much of the story is real? I still can't seem to conclude if the whole bit is real with changed names or what."

"I just finished Island of Saints, and I have to say I don't know where to begin. I had just finished The Traveler's Gift (which was also amazing)and had told my husband about these books. (I had also read The Lost Choice not long ago). I told my husband, you have got to read these. Other than his Bible he is not much of a reader.

The Island of Saints book came in yesterday morning's mail. We had an hour and a half trip ahead of us. I was ecstatic because I had been waiting impatiently for it to arrive. We weren't even 20 minutes down the road and I knew that he needed to also read it. Then I realized I had a captive audience, so to speak, so I asked if he minded if I read it to him? He agreed and I started. It wasn't long and I could see he was eager to hear what was coming next, and our 8 year old daughter in the back shut off her game and started listening. Well! Tonight we finished it. My voice is hoarse but we all are awed by the story and the events that had taken place.

I have a very big thing in my past dealing with a person who I need to forgive, and so does my husband also have people who have hurt him. After reading this, and Helen's explanation of forgiveness, and Margaret's thoughts on forgiveness, I find that it is possible to forgive. I am now able to take that step. I think also my husband will be able to too.

And the bonus? He wants me to now read the other two to him also, and my 8 year old says, she can't wait! I think it will also make a difference in their lives as those books did in mine.

God has blessed you, Andy Andrews. You have an anointed talent to help people really understand that there IS hope and how we CAN change and make choices that not only bring change in our lives but in others, though sometimes we are not aware of it, to a happier way of living.

Keep it up!! Can't wait to see what God has given you next!"

"Dear Andy,

I have just finished your book Island of Saints and must say it has saved my life. I have been suffering from the effects of paralyzing anger, pain and betrayal for quite some time, my life was the true American dream as a result of a horrible series of events my life was put in a downward spiral.

I would very much like to tell you my story and the God-given events that brought your book to my life and the results of its influence. This is truly a miracle. I am so taken with the message and the power of forgiveness that I have decided to send a copy of your book to all those who have betrayed my trust love and devotion.

Of course I will send the book without any identification as to who it is sent and pray that God will do the rest.

P.S. I have started to read Island of Saints to my children so that they may embrace forgiveness at a much younger age and make it a part of there life thank you again. "

"I really enjoy your storytelling style. Island of Saints is a great page turner. And the lesson of forgiveness is so simple and clear to understand. Now the trick for me is to live by your advice and move on with my life. Thank you."
