  Had to read your book

Dear Gracia,

I just finished reading In The Presence of Mine Enemies last night. I was given it to read for a book report. I thought it would be just another assignment, but it was so much more than that. It inspired me in my walk with Christ. I realized just how much I take for granted even the simple things in life.

Thank you so much for writing that book.

 

  Enjoyed your book
Dear Gracia,

I just finished reading In The Presence of my Enemies and I am overwhelmed by your story...the story of both of you. My Mom had sent me your second book and I very much enjoyed it.... I am passing it around and am sure it will bless others the way it has blessed me. You are a true testament on what God asks of us on earth.

Thank you for sharing your inspiring and difficult journey.
  

  Wish you could have spoken longer

Dear Gracia,

Hi My Husband and I and are children was blessed to come hear you speak in Iowa a couple weeks ago. I enjoyed listening to you. I guess i just wish it could have been longer. I guess i will have to buy the book .

You were very inspiring though on your forgivness which we could all learn from. I just wanted to say i enjoyed listening to you and will pray for you to continue your message to all who will be blessed to hear it
  

  I appreciated your honesty

Dear Gracia,

May God continue to use you as you speak to groups about what He has done in your life. You are a hero of the faith that the Church needs to hear from.

I appreciated your honesty and transparency about your ordeal, and also how God worked in your hearts as you implored him to give you the joy and peace that you so desperately needed.

I know that everyone who heard you was encouraged. Thanks so much for coming to Des Moines!
 

  Difficult to put your book down

Dear Gracia,

I picked up the book on Saturday evening and finished it on Monday night. I have 2 little boys under the age of two and find it difficult to get time to sit down and read, but I wasn't able to set the book down for too long, and I found myself picking it up again to get it finished.

I admire your strength and perseverance through those times. I am encouraged by your trust/faith in Jesus. Thank you for sharing your experience through your writings. I received the book as a gift from my pastor's wife and will be sure to pass it along so others may be encouraged as well. Thanks for sharing your testimony.
  

  From cancer patient

Ms. Burnham, I cannot tell you how much your books have inspired me. I am a cancer patient and a dear friend recently sent a copy of both of your books to me.

Your story of continued faith throughout the many adversities you faced and the testament of a neverfailing God are truly a great inspiration to me and others. They have helped me through the tough times and continue to be a guide.
