"CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 9TH ANNIVERSARY OF UNMISSED DEADLINES..!!!! GREAT JOB.. I have always enjoyed all your works so far.. Homegrown Dandelions: it's coming along very well.. I am always eager to read the next installment. Terry's Journey: I just LOVE IT... FANTASTIC JOB!! I am feeling really really bad for Madison..and of course, this family is becoming my favourite.. will we see Jake and Abigail anywhere in Terry's Journey?? Wish they showed up in the story sometime.. I really want both of them to do well.. they are my favourite pair after John and Izzy.. Keep giving us such good tales.." - Prami
[Note from Judith: Yes, Abby and Jake will be in the story.]

"I like the flow of the story, stuff is beginning to unfold and I especially like Terry's big heart..." - Etro

"I started reading Terry's Journey today and can't help squeaking with joy when I found out how sweet and beautiful the triplets have grown. I can't also help getting excited knowing it had been four years since Abby and Jake left for San Diego and that they are now about to go back home. I am so glad to know that my beloved Jake made it to college with honors! Oh Judith, this series is really driving me crazy! I am also very excited to see Madison and Terry's love bloom. Maddie was like Jake and I'm very much satisfied with how you turned Terry's loving and cool character in Abby's Journey into a strong and manly one in this book. Suddenly, I got this John Cusack's image of Terry in my mind! I can't wait for chapter 9 to be released! Please, please, let Jake and Abby go back to Three Mile Bay. Keep up the good work and God bless^_^ " - Diana (Manila, Philippines)

"Thank you for many hours of enjoyable and engrossing reading. Since discovering your work, I devoured all on your website to date and must commend you for the purity of content and the quality of your writing... Your talent does more than entertain, it is a source of true inspiration that exhorts the reader to cling to God more fully and love Him more completely. You have been a blessing to me and I look forward to reading more from you. May you continue to be blessed and inspired." - Ruth (Belize City, Belize)

"Hi I have read Journey of the Heart and Abigail's Journey. But somehow Terry's Journey strikes me as more terrifying. It makes me want to protect my daughters all the more from abusers. I wish the sufferings of Jake are merely a figment of your imagination, but it is sad to know that such is possible. I look forward to reading the end of Terry's Journey. Do you imagine these journey series as a film? Think of it." - Plangnan
(No movies are currently being planned for these stories, but the thought is appreciated.)

"I came across your website when I was searching for some online love stories. I have since read Journey to the Heart, Abigail's Journey and currently Terry's Journey. Your stories are fantastic. I don't realize time pass by as I read your stories..." - An avid reader, Thiyya (Malaysia)

"I've already read Abigail's Journey, and a little bit of Journey of the Heart. Long before, I finished reading Mountain Wild. I thank God I can find your website. It's rare to find any website that write about Christian love stories and your stories are all awesome. I pray God bless you always and you keep on writing. It's inspiring people especially... in such [a] terrifying corrupted world. Thanks, Sara. When I am reading Abigail, I was wondering in my heart 'how about Terry, such a good man and no woman fall in love with him?' and then I found out that you are writing about him! Thanks and keep it up!" - A Reader

"I just finished reading Chapter 14 of Terry's story. It is good. I love every part of it. One cannot help smiling at the end of the chapter and breathing down with a contented sigh.. Thanks for this." - Clara (Nigeria, West Africa)

"What a heartwarming story that makes you wonder about what your contributions [are] to those less fortunate..." - A Reader

"My name is Melissa, I'm 21 years old and a friend introduced me to your stories and I fell in love with Abigail's Journey. It captured my mind just in the first chapters, to see that the character like Jake could find Jesus and still love in all the difficult things he went through in jail. So what I really wanted to say is thank you for still giving ppl hope in your stories that if a person like Jake can overcome difficulties like that then anybody can. Continue to write more stories like that one and when your books come out I will be the first to buy... I am following Terry's Journey and it is as great as Abigail's and me and my friend can't wait until the next chapter [17] comes out next month..." - Melissa

"Between Homegrown Dandelions and Terry's Journey ~ I prefer Terry's Journey. I think this is so because the two main characters choose to believe in JESUS even though they have come from some of the worst abusive backgrounds out there. Also because they are both learning to trust and open up to the opposite sex despite their horrid past!! Keep up the good work Sarah keep up this good work." - A Reader

"I admit I've not finished Abigail's Journey which is an absolute genius. When you write I actually feel their pain and joy. I've started almost all your books (and just downloaded a couple to read over the weekend and in between college work). They've taught me that I can rise above my pain and past (plus my mama won't kill me for wasting money on too many books!). I can't wait to get myself hard copies of all the books to add to my novel collection. Thank you, Sarah. You are blessed." - Pamela (Nairobi, Kenya)

"This [Terry's Journey] is the one of the best novels I've ever read." - A Reader

"I am a great fan of your online stories... I have just finished reading Chapter 17 of Terry's Journey. The emotions were so intense I kept blinking back tears! I almost started praying for the characters then I remembered it's fiction LOL. God bless you." - Joy K

"I've read four stories of yours – Journey of the heart, Abigail's Journey, Greatest of These and now Terry's Journey. From these AJ was my favourite. And now I've become a fan of TM (Terry & Maddie). I had lost the habit of reading due to the routine life but I was completely hooked on to Terry's story. Sarah, really appreciate your work. Praying that God will help you to write many more stories which help the readers to grow spiritually. Thank you once again for your beautiful stories." - Nisha, UAE

"I have downloaded and read most of your books and I wanted to take the time to let you know what a blessing I have found them to be. They are good reads and very clean. It can be difficult to find even a Christian book that doesn't allow for one's mind to follow the couple to the bedroom. I also love the fact that the Word is woven all throughout the books. It is so refreshing! I have spent quite a bit of time looking up many of them to note them and read them in their full context. I love the Word. The first of your books that I read was 'Abigail's Journey'. This one has touched me the most cause I was a victim as a child, though praise God not to the extent some are and only for a very brief time before it was discovered. But the scars followed me and even today I struggle with the effects. There is a depth in your writings that touch the reader and I appreciate that. Thank you for allowing God to use you." - A Reader

"I've always loved the Journey Series and I was really happy when you started Terry's Journey. I'm a frustrated writer myself and I'm hoping that one day I'd be able to write stories as wonderful as yours. The Journey series revive the beauty and meaning of love that is quickly being forgotten in this time and age. Don't stop writing. :)" - A Reader

"Hi I can't wait for chapter 18... I meditate on the verses on each chapter and live myself with the characters. I wonder how it's going to end and would like to fast forward to May 15th." - A Reader

"Wow, what a beautiful story and how beautifully written!! Both the lead characters, Terry and Madison, are so real! Sometimes when penning a story, a writer usually seeks to provide an escape route (for the reader) into a magical fantasy world, with surreal situations and surreal characters. This story comes as a refreshing change! This is the truth! This is an accurate reflection of reality as we all face our own 'Dragons' in the real world, just as Madison and Terry in the story. And you know what I love the most about it? It not only depicts the day-to-day struggles of 'normal' people but also a born-again Christian's daily walk with Jesus. I remember reading somewhere that Christianity is much more than a religion, it's a relationship with Christ... in which you need to renew your vow to follow the Lord each new day. When these characters overcome their fear and pain, it gives me a strength to go on and face my 'Dragons' as well! Now, that's what I call quality writing... it's when you leave a lasting impression on your readers that even their faith-life is affected and rejuvenated! Sarah, I know I've told you before, and I just want to reiterate, your stories are so believable! I truly enjoyed reading this particular story as the Journey series is so close to my heart. Thank you for such inspiring stories!" - Vincy (Mumbai, India)

"Oh my word!!! I just wants to keep on reading. Thanks for an outstanding chapter [19]." - Doris

"Oh no when is Aug 15th coming? Wow this has been wonderful. I look forward to the next installation [chapter 21]." - A Reader

"I would like to tell you that I just love your writing and I really have become a fan... Terry's Journey was the first story that I read and I wonder from where you get such amazing ideas, imagination and feelings... [are] the characters like Terry, Izumi and John... completely fictitious or they are inspired from some real persons? Pls do answer it means a lot for me because I wish them to be real. I want to say a lot but unable to find words to express my feelings. Pls keep on writing. Hearty congratulations for completing a successful decade..." - Tamanna (India)
(The characters in these stories are not based on real people, but rather on the people "living" in the author's imagination. :-)

"Wow...this was such a touching chapter [21]... I am really enjoying the story. I think it's my favourite one so far. I enjoyed Abigail's Journey, but this story speaks more to me. Thank you so much for sharing your writing talent with the rest of us." - Lisa

"I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter of Terry's Journey [21]. In fact, I am still not over [plot spoiler removed], I didn't know I had held my breath so! ... I just wanted to say well done, it's a great job you are doing, and the 15th of September couldn't come faster." - Gonaya

"I must say since my niece introduced me to Abigail's Journey, I've been hooked. Read all your novels. Oh my, chapter 21 (Terry's Journey) is marked as my favourite, love it. You are a great writer. May the Lord bless you and keep inspiring you..." - Lorraine (South Africa)

"You are definitely killing me here. Here I am reading the chapter that you posted today [chapter 21] and here at work it is our payroll run and I have to load new employees on the system. Terry's Journey pops in my mail and I cannot keep still because I am eager to start reading. Only today that is when I started reading it and every emotion that Terry is going through rumbles through my veins and when he [plot spoiler removed], my heart does somersaults. I love it and I love it big. You are the most blessed woman writer and may God continue to bless you richly with ideas. I know one thing for sure, He is forever smiling when He sees His work through you. Oh I love it... it has no resemblance to Jake and Abby though the journey has the same effects. Keep on writing." - A Reader

"Your stories are so realistic and wonderful. I find myself wanting to stay up all night just to finish your 'precious thoughts'. You are truly an inspiration and I can not wait for the next chapter [22]. I wish you all the best and pray that God would continue to guide you as you touch so many lives positively." - Nicole

"Thank you so much for your lovely stories. I appreciate that you are a Christian and love God. What I especially like about your stories is all the Bible verses, which pertain to the story and fit them in, making God's Word more real. I love the fact that your characters follow God's Word and we don't get to read lurid detailed love scenes, which are a mockery of God's gift to married couples. You have provided the romance and made me remember, my God is in control. Thank you and God Bless you." - Vanessa

"I just wanted to tell you I have re-read that last chapter of Terry's Journey [21] and found it to be quite delightful... I can't wait for the 15th of September so I can find out [plot spoilers removed]... Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents of weaving these stories." - Miriam :-)

"Your stories are absolutely FANTASTIC....I'm at a loss for words....I read the other stories in the Journey series too [besides Journey of the Heart], and they are just so touching. If I continue typing, I will just be repeating what others have said. There is no doubt that GOD has given you an incredible talent." - A Reader

"Gracious! I do so love the way you build your characters and the way you bring scenes alive! ... God bless you and this ministry. You are officially now my most favorite author. I love your work!" - A Reader

"I am a christian young adult who has been searching for years for actual English christian books and romance novels and it has been entirely impossible but I am pleased to report that the stories you have written have filled me and help me to be a better christian. It is a joy to recommend your books to other youths I know. May God bless you and fill you with even more abundant words to convey His message to others and may your gift be as cherished as you. P.S. I live in Puerto Rico and wow I feel as if I had visited every place you have mentioned in your books." - Mairim

"Dear Judith, God bless your heart. I have read all your stories, some twice. Your stories and the characters are so real to me. They inspired me and encourage me to be strong in the Lord; to learn to stand firm in Him in time of pain; like what the characters in the stories are doing. It is amazing. You are amazing too. I love to read romance stories but yours is the best. I can read and enjoy your stories freely (get encouraged) and without feeling guilty. Cos you are always careful about keeping your stories and our thoughts pure. THANK YOU! We need more writers like you. Keep it up. Terry's Journey: Every time Madison cut herself, my heart went out to her. Cos I just cannot imagine how someone would cut herself physically so she can feel less painful inside. In Terry's Journey she has done it so many times already and I hope God will heal her emotionally and spiritually soon. May our Father of mercies and God of all comfort, comfort those who suffered like Madison, heal their hearts' and emotional wound. May God visit them today and anointed them with the balm of Gilead. Amen." - Lillian

"Hi Sarah!!! I'm actually going to comment on Journey of the Heart, Abigail's Journey and Terry's Journey all at the same time!! I love the series so far I love the way [it] flows generation by generation it gives a feeling in continuity in the story. I can see a trend developing they're... always helping someone from a troubled and traumatic background! ... Sometimes when I'm reading I feel like I'm in the house with all of them. One thing that is positive with all the story lines is seeing the individual struggles in each of their relationships but know how to come together as a family. Love the work you're doing Sarah... God bless you and continue to fill you with rich ideas for more books to come. p.s. I can't wait for chapter 24 [of Terry's Journey]!!!" - A Reader

"Just appreciated how well you handled the issue of cutting [in chapter 23 of Terry's Journey]. I am always impressed with your writing skills with regard to difficult issues and it has not changed!" - Sariah

"Hey! I have read most of your novels but Terry's Journey is the best work I have read till now. I await eagerly for 15th of every month just to read new chapter. I just want to know when are you planning to end this story... Hope you keep on writing such beautiful stories & thanks for giving us a unique message in each of [them]." - A Reader
[From Judith: As of chapter 23, I think we might be over the half-way mark, but I still have so much plot to write, I figure I'll just keep going until I run out of outline. There's a lot more story to come.]

"Just finished reading the latest chapter (chapter 23) and I just cannot hold back the smiles...Terry, Terry, Terry.......Enjoyed every bit of it and can't wait to read the next!!! Thank you so much for the stories... God bless ya and His grace as you write more!" - Chinekwu (Enugu, Nigeria)

"Thank you for your faithfulness in writing and being true to who you are in God. I started reading your stories about three months ago. I see how you have progressed in your writing in discovering for your self your true author's voice. With a secret fondness I now look forward to the 15th of each month to journey again into the lives of each character that you have created. May God continue to bless you with ideas and the vision to turn them into stories of redeeming love." - Patricia

"I have read everything on your website and have enjoyed every word. Terry's Journey, however, has secured a place in my heart that none other has. The fragile hope that exists between Terry and Maddy is proof that our God is capable of anything. He can take hurting and damaged hearts bring them together and produce a beautiful love story. Thank you for allowing God to lead you in your writing, it truly is a blessing to all who read it." - Denise (Tennessee)

"Hi Sarah!! Thank you so much for your books. A friend of mine introduced me to your website and I have been hooked ever since... I have been struck by the last 2 chapters of Terry's Journey [23, 24]. I love the way the family is close knit and honest. Most family members hide their feelings and struggles from each other for fear of being rejected or viewed in a different light by siblings especially in a set up where the siblings are much older, married and have families. The model of this family appeals to me because of their openness and honesty as well supporting and praying for each other in difficult times. When I read I feel like I am right in there in the living room with the triplets and Ricky and the lunches and dinners they have. Keep up the good work!" - A Reader

"It's amazing how God works things out. I lost my job in May '09 and was out of work for 2 years. During those two years I lost my mother and my father-in-law. This year I obtained employment in a group home for troubled teens. My last position was as a Sr. Engineering Technician working in Quality Reliability and Assurance. Needless to say, this new career is totally different from what I've done in the past. Terry's Journey has helped me to understand some of the things our clients have been through. I can't wait to read the next chapter. Also, I can't wait to see what God does for our clients. Thank you!" - A Reader

"I was (still am) surprised when I find Terry, John and other characters I've come to love use Biblical verses to validate the way they live (eg: John gave Izumi a card with a verse which was specific to her situation) I have started confessing verses since then which has definitely helped me face my 'Dragons' rather than turn my tail and run. Your story [Terry's Journey] has helped me look to my future with hope and contentment as it is not fantasy, Utopian, everything-becomes-fine-for-the-hero kind of story but a realistic one. I have often thanked the Lord for guiding me to you and to your stories :) God bless you." - A Reader

"The past few months have been very hectic. I have missed doing many things but not reading your 'Journeys'.. Terry's Journey is becoming more and more better. Your last two chapters [24, 25] are so difficult to read. It is so difficult to watch people hurt like this that I ask why are such monsters even allowed on earth to hurt innocent lives. But your story also has hope which is the best thing that can happen to anyone who is reading it. I have enjoyed your stories and I am waiting impatiently for Maddie to say yes and marry Terry. For all the hope, joy, togetherness, family, loyalty, love and faith in your story, God Bless You." - Pramila (India)

"... I always wait for the new chapter to come and excited what story you will have again for Terry and Maddie. I pray that the Lord will always give you inspirations until you finish this. God bless." - MJ

"Wow! the story plot of Terry's Journey just gets better with each chapter. I have finished reading chapter 26 and am eagerly waiting for the next chapter, come February. Thanks Judith for this story and the others. They all have pearls of inspiration and treasures for living a healthy Christian life especially in marriage. You'll always be my all-time favorite Author." - Loveth (Nigeria)

"Finally!!! I was waiting for this chapter [26] for so long..Thankyou so much... That was very lovely...Enjoyed it..waiting for Terry and Maddie on Feb 15th." - Aayus

"I have read every book you have written several times. I must say this is the best chapter [26] I have read. Love it!!" - Doris

"I have been reading your stories for a long time now...it's like when I read your novels I am always gut hooked to them. Just can't have it enough. Please keep writing... God bless you!!" - A Reader
