"Wow! knocked me out"
Cynthia's Dream caught me off-guard. As a long-time Christian (I'm 40-something) I thought I was familiar with just about everything. This book surprised me, both as a mystery and in what I learned about myself, specifically my relationship with Christ. Any reader will find himself somewhere in the pages of this book even if he or she doesn't want to admit it.  And when you can admit it, that's when you'll find the power to enhance your life with God's word through this author.  I gave my copy to my sister and am going out to buy a new one for me and a spare for the person whom today I don't know will need it but I want to be ready when they do.  Great book! I am looking forward to the Mustard Seed. --- Rose

"Thank you!"
It was wonderful for you to come speak with our youth. Parents, children and young adults alike, were all moved by the power of your words.  It's through great books like Cynthia's Dream that we youth pastors can demonstrate the absolute practicality of living for Christ.  I hope you'll come speak again.  On behalf of the staff and those entrusted to me, I thank you.  God bless you.

"A really good book..."
Convalescing is tough enough but your kind words and the power of your book, Cynthia's Dream is a pleasant diversion from my problems. A Christian all my life, I am truly surprised by what I'm learning from reading this book.  Kindest regards... C.

"I almost lost my daughter."

Dear Mike, I got this from a friend.  I know you'll be touched. Your book is lighting up the world with God's love one reader at a time. I can't wait till the Mustard Seed comes out.

"...Hello Danielle.  The book you lent me, Cynthia’s Dream has saved my daughter and me from what I see as disaster. As I told you at school, my sixteen year old daughter informed me that she wanted to go on the “pill” because she was considering becoming sexually active. I was devastated and no amount of talk worked because I myself had a past. She told me she had every right to make her own mistakes.  The next day, you lent me the book urging me to read it right away.  I read it with my heart pounding.  I then gave it to my daughter. She resisted but bargained that if she read it, she’d hear no more from me about promiscuity. A few days later she thanked me and said that she no longer wanted to have sex. She never explained but she was holding Way’s book.  I rest easy now and wish that every girl her age could read this book.  I know you’re in contact with the author; please thank him for me."

"Wow, a parental report card."
As an expectant father, reading portions of Cynthia's Dream made me want to do it (fatherhood) right the first time.  When I read the final chapter I knew that I was hearing from God on how to raise Godly children in a Godly home.  Amidst all the modern theories on child rearing, they all seem inadequate when the plan has already been laid out in the Scriptures and echoed so demonstrably in your book.  My wife and I thank you for the encouragement we received from Cynthia's Dream.

"Unbelievable!"
I can't explain it but as I read Cynthia's Dream, I could actually tell when the story was in your voice and when it was in God's voice. I discovered things that had never occurred to me about commonly known facts from the Scriptures. It's not that you're not a great writer but when God takes over the story; wow! Look out!  Never experienced anything like that before. Amazing!

Cynthia's Dream is one powerful book, December 8, 2003
Reviewer: michelle hawkins from Grasonville Maryland
When I was asked to read this book for Mike I thought that I wouldn't enjoy it but once I started to read it I couldn't put it down. I would stay up for hours reading this book and I was really intrigued. If you don't believe in God you will after you finish reading this novel. Mike Way is a very talented writer and he gets your attention from the start. I would recommend any and everyone to read this well written novel. Way to go Mike.

"Mon Dieux"
 Let me tell you something that truly touched me tonight as my Mom came in the living room both hands shaking because of her age(86), and she had tears in her eyes. I didn't know what was wrong I looked at her but knew I was to say nothing, I suddenly noticed she was holding your book it was only then that I realized she finally finished reading Cynthia's Dream. "Mon Dieux" (my God) she said, "if mankind could've only listened to God the way this book is written. I have read many books in my lifetime but none like this one." All I could do is smile and be so proud of knowing how it touched her, and yes, I cried too. We sat down for a few and talked about your book and how so well written and heartfelt the book was. Then I laughed when she asked  when your next book is coming out.

For that I thank you as although she is 86 you were still able to touch her heart through your words and God's work, and I know in my heart it will touch many others when they read your book as it is God's work and mission to heal the world's pain and broken hearts no matter what situation they are in or have been in, He will heal though your words in your books.

You have truly blessed my life

Subject: Re: Wow!, what a book
Shouldn't really say this but I got a copy from your editor begging me to read it before she turned it in. Incredible story with an ending that knocked me out. Great story telling, Cynthia's Dream is a Biblically faithful and a moving story for everyone.  I learned so much that I cried all the way through this must-read. Unbelievable!!!

"awesome story!"
Hey Mike,
 
What an awesome story I have to tell you. One of my fellow Instructors at Brooks College was having a bad day and I wanted to cheer her up... anyway to make a long story short I gave her Cynthia's Dream. She came to work this morning crying; said she could not put the book down that she was so touched by the story and it spoke to her heart. She said she wanted to pass it on  to her Church Pastor and wife and she will contact you to add their Church to your website as well as they want to have it in their Church book store., Isn't that awesome how God works through us one-person-at-a-time? I was so touched and she was just crying her eyes out. She is a very sweet Christian women that has a teenager and she feels that ALL teenagers should read your book.
 
God had put in my heart last week to give her the book and he said "trust me, and see how it works" but I didn't want to write to you about it till I heard from her. She said she can't wait to be off this weekend to re-read your book over again.....

Subject: Re: Haven't finished yet but what a powerful book.
Mike, I just started Cynthia's Dream but man-o-man is this book powerful.  Thought it would be a quick read but the concepts are so meaty that I find myself feasting slowly as I digested the words that God has given you to share with the world. I'll write again when I'm finished.  This book would be great for study groups. Can't wait to see how the story (parable) ends.

The comments below was sent by someone(anonymous) who purchased a copy and gave it to a friend.

Dear Mr. Way, I live in California. I'm a student and gave Pete, my counselor, your book as a gift. Now understand, Pete is very much a MANLY man, strong, and kind and almost looks intimidating if you don't know him. Anyway let me get to the point...  as I handed him the book, he fell back in his chair and started to weep because he felt so touched by the book's cover. He loved the quality of the book's layout and thumbed through the Illustrations and was even more overwhelmed. He loved the one of Manny at the hospital, and the crazy preacher, the meadow....all of them but these where his favorites. Now to the kindest thing he said... "I can't wait to go home tonight and read it to my wife" Isn't that sweet..... the man reads to his wife every night....... and now he is reading your book. I just had to share that with you because it was so touching.

Read the excerpts on your website. What a writer. It's about time Christian fiction measured up. I can't wait to get my advance copy

Follow Up: Okay, I got my advance copy... Wow! I cried, I laughed, I hugged myself and my family. I saw myself in Clareece's character and now the healing begins. Thanks for a great book. You may have just saved my marriage, my life.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!  Wow, this guy is just great. Why haven't I heard of him before. It looks like the art and the text are complementing each other very well with your outstanding unique combined talents. I like the page with your art - don't see many novels with color illustrations. Nice work! I like Mr. Way's expressive words.
Chris Mitchell/
Subject: Congrats!!!!!!
Congrats!!!!!! I saw some of the illustrations and WOW, but the ones that I didn't see I enjoyed just as much as the others. . Are you working on the 2nd book? I know you said that there might be a second one. Is the only place you can buy the book is on the internet?? I never buy off the net. This seems like you are working for a wonderful mission and Mike's writing really looks interesting enough that I want to buy his books.

I really would like to share my comments about this book. Although I am the Illustrator for Mike Way I really wanted to express how this book "Cynthia's Dream" has touched my life. Not just in the artistic point of view but how God really blessed this man with the gift of writing. Yes, the true believer always work through God and we allow God to use us for His good but Mike Way is a clear example of living his life God's way. As you read "Cynthia's Dream" you will feel as touched as I was and will read it over and over just as I have. Not only it is a novel but there is a personal life lesson to be learned in this book as well. Clearly, all who read this book will benefit from the word in some way!
