I just learned of Mattie's physical passing, and I must salute this brave, caring, and genuine soul for his profound work, inner strength, words of heart, soul and wisdom, as well as his example to triumph over adversity.
Mattie's work did this. His poetry is a beacon in the dark that will endure forever. His spirit is priceless. His heartfelt compassion is an everlasting beacon in the dark for those who have lost all hope of their own.
May all who are suffering find solace in the work and words of a child who wrote from the depths of his heart to uplift the lives of others.
Mattie's beautiful work will certainly live on forever.

The work and words of Mattie are beautifully inspiring. Much more so than the unnecessary negative commentary to tear down the hope of a child, along with all others Mattie's work is inspiring to keep on, despite tremendous obstacles, illness and pain.
Mattie's poetry is heartfelt, genuine, and filled with promise for those who may have lost all hope of their own.
KEEP GOING MATTIE! Your work is beautiful, inspiring, needed, and YOU are a treasure.

Mattie's heart shines so brightly through his work, and uplifts the spirits of those who may feel like there is nothing left to live for. He is a beacon in the dark, and his writing is soothing to the soul.
Keep going Mattie, no matter what ANYONE says, keep up your fantastic work. You are truly a gift to humanity, and your writing is incredibly beautiful, touching, and deeply needed!
10 Stars!

Mattie J.T. Stepanek's words really went right to my heart, and into my soul, as I read his work agape with wonder at his pure spirit that is a beacon of Light, Wisdom, Hope, and Peace for all.
This book is an absolute treasure, and one that I HIGHLY recommend to anyone, at every age - it is priceless, and so is Mattie. Deserves 10 Stars!
Thank you Mattie, for being such a brave, true, and genuine soul. This world really needs you - keep up your profound work! From my heart, Barbara Rose, author 'If God Was Like Man'

I have read many books by this author, one of the greatest teachers to help people live a meaningful and pure life, as well as how to cross over with great merit, so we never have to come back to negativity as a result of bad karma.
Dying is a part of physical life, however Geshela's teachings go far beyond this fact, as the soul is eternal, and we ALL have to come to the realization that our motives and actions carry with us, even when we depart physical life. They just come right with us on the other side.

For a negative reviewer below, I shall share that Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's teachings are pure, with the motive to bring the teachings out of suffering that were taught by Buddha, in plain English that anyone can understand, so they can apply the teachings, and truly be free from suffering permanently in this life. The teachings have made an immeasurable difference in my life - suffering has vanished, and that was no small feat! I credit this to the teachings that have so eloquently been translated into English.

Other fantastic books by this author that I HIGHLY recommend are: "Universal Compassion" "Transform Your Life" "Joyful Path of Good Fortune" "The New Meditation Handbook"

They are all incredibly and immeasurably helpful for permanent benefit to all who wish to attain full awakening. HIGHLY Recommended!

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, along with his incredibly devoted senior Dharma students, did an outstanding job in presenting this essential text for purification, as well as the Bodhisattva vows in order for devoted Mahayana Buddhism students to learn how to live up to this most precious vow. The 'downfalls' (both secondary and root) as well as how to purify them are beautifully explained. As this wonderful book states: "We should begin to practice all of the vows as soon as we have taken them, practice them to the best of our ability, and never lose determination to keep them perfectly in the future."

I HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone who seeks genuine awakening, as it clearly shows the path, when followed, to attain true enlightenment. This book is very easy to understand, and was clearly written with the utmost care for humanity. Deserves 10 Stars.

Natalie shares with astounding truth, humbleness, and shows us all how much she has been through, and how she - with the Divine help in her life - has triumphed from the darkest days. This book is an astounding beacon of hope for anyone who has been through both the highs and lows of life, and wants to genuinely rise from within.
Natalie shares much about her childhood, her relationship with her relatives, and so much about her own life, and how many times she thought it was all over for her, only to see that she can rise again - no matter what she has been through.

On a personal note, in 1995 I had dinner with Natalie, her candor and honesty took me back so much that I wrote about her with deep respect in my own book, 'Individual Power'. She is a true soul, and I have the utmost respect for her, the courage she has shown, and how she is a beacon of hope for others.

If you want to read a book about one incredible woman, who humbly and candidly shows how no matter what you go through, you CAN triumph, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It is a gift that will touch you because of its authenticity.

Thank you Natalie for being a beacon of Light and Hope for so many. Keep Going Girl - You are One Awesome Gem!
