What
publishers, editors and other readers
said about Gem's story:
"
When I had
finished reading the book, I felt light
and elevated, as if I had drunk from
spiritual nectar. Everyone with spiritual
understanding
will like this book."
John McMillan, Jamaica
--
"When
I had started reading, I didn't stop
until I finished
the story hours later. I got more
and more
caught up in it! I found it a very
enlightening story. It reflects
so
many things that I (and surely
others as well)
struggle with on the spiritual path."
Dada Krpasundarananda, Monk
& Meditation teacher of Ananda Marga

"The spiritual
dimension of the story is one that
will appeal to readers
of many faith backgrounds, Christian
and non-Christian.
I read a quote that stated that once
a person reads a book, it forever becomes
a part of him, for good or for bad.
Gem's story became a part of me for
the positive! Gem's lessons were very
helpful to
me. I found the lessons in self-esteem
and
self-confidence that Gem learned very
touching."
Amy Gault Anderson, IN, USA

"The most powerful, uplifting,
and spiritual book I
have ever had the pleasure of reading!
Gem's story touched my heart and soul,
and
gave me an extraordinary feeling of
peace. The author, Joost Boekhoven,
has done a splendid job of touching
the
hearts of others, and left me wanting
more."

"I think Gem's
story is a work of art. It's a blend
of psychology,
philosophy and spirituality combined
with a wonderful talent of writing.
Such a sensitivity! I enjoyed it as
much as I learned from it."
Cimen Keskin

"In
this day and age of action, violence
and sex in fiction and video,
it's a blessed relief to read something
that restores and inspires; that speaks
to the soul. Gem's Story is a timeless
fable, a gentle lesson in finding God,
and,
yes, a love story -- but not the usual
sort of love story.
What the two main characters share
is very special and rare, but the author
imparts the hopeful message that we
are all capable of this kind of spiritual
love."

" I'm
a great admirer of
Gem and have a lot
of respect for her wisdom.
I resort to this book every time
I need some peace of mind, or need
to
commune with people I really care
about, at times of inner unrest. I can't
come up with any adjective good enough
to describe the benefit
and positive influence that Gem's
Story can bring into one's life."

Last
night i started to read your story
and
didn't
stop until the end. I enjoyed it
very much... i saw very much in the
story... I was very
inspired
after reading it. I really think you
should look for a publisher who can
print the
book.
I guess you have read "the Alchemist" from
Paulo Coelho; it has become a
bestseller. But in my opinion Gem's
story is much more deep, consistent
and
authentic.
