Listen to what others are saying about their experience with FRUIT.

I love the illustrations

I am overwhelmed by the accuracy and attention to detail in each illustration. They are so complex and simple and complete. I can see the composition, the leading of the eye, the contrasting values. I absolutely believe that a few people only will understand the effort and time you have consecrated for this. I appreciate that the poetry provokes imagery and empathy.

It continues to inspire me…

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve read the poem on the back of your book countless times now. It continues to inspire me each time. I really like how it captures so much about life in such a short space.

I came home and started reading your book. I kept recalling your suggestion from the introduction to read it slowly. I made my way through about half of it, but I realized I was missing a lot by rushing. So, later, in a more relaxed state, I finished it. I loved it! I haven’t had the chance to read it a second time yet, but I definitely will. I also shared it with my wife, and she loved it as well.

There is a treasure on every page.

This story was a delightful surprise. I have always hoped that friends I have made in Taiwan and other places in the world could see themselves as children of Heavenly Parents and as essential in God plan. This book captured that hope. I was impressed by the contrasts of dark and light, portrayal of pride and humility, and expressions of sorrow and joy. This book has given me a lot to think about. There is a treasure on every page.

So much good stuff in here

I just finished reading FRUIT! What an ambitious project, and beautifully done! Thank you for sharing it with our family. I love how you portrayed the human family. I loved Adam and Eve’s ethnic diversity. Your approach to Lucifer and his followers and how that occurred was very interesting. I love the continuous visual and metaphor of the fruit, even in the premortal realm, the idea of being anointed with oil from the first tree, the lessons Adam and Eve learned from Abel, so much good stuff in here!

Excellent for those who have eyes to see…

I just finished reading your beautiful book tonight . What a warm pleasure it’s been to see the journey from pre-mortal and death as mortals on earth. Excellent for those who have eyes to see on life’s journey.

You really have done such a great job with this.

This is a powerful story as old as time. Yet, with slow, careful pondering, we can see that it is the story of each one of us. I love how it highlights the internal struggles we each face as we struggle with morality, selfless love, and how to avoid the allure and deception of power and pleasure. Thank you for writing this thoughtful telling of the Creation and Redemption story.
