"Martha Randolph Carr invites the reader to a journey through the 'change stories'. You will see parallels in your own life's victories." Bob Danzig, former CEO, Hearst Newspapers, author and speaker

"If only more people wrote as Martha Randolph Carr does. At a time when so many columnists and pundits are strident and brimming with self-importance, Carr's writing is a breath of fresh air -- earthy, conversational and genuine. As I read her work, I feel like I'm sitting across from her enjoying a cup of coffee and a satisfying conversation. That's what we need more of these days -- conversations -- and Martha's writing is just what the doctor ordered." Tom Purcell - Nationally Syndicated Columnist

"Martha Randolph Carr is the new voice for Middle America using insight, humor and a common sense approach to spirituality... She's the one to watch." Cari Dawson Bartley, Executive Editor Cagle Cartoons Inc, newspaper syndicate.
