"I just finished reading the book Make Me Like Jesus. It is the deepest, most beautiful book I've ever read."

"What a great author you are, Mike! And what a great minister and evangelist!"

"I now have to add one more very brilliant author to my growing list, Michael Phillips!"

"I am writing to let you know what a profound experience it has been for me to read your book Make Me Like Jesus. Your book has given me direction."

"I have just finished reading A New Dawn Over Devon and I must say it was an experience I shall never forget. I found myself having to stop many times to wipe the tears from my eyes."

"You make beautiful music with your words."

"Thank you so much for writing Make Me Like Jesus!"

"I have just finished reading Rift in Time.that book kept me on the edge of my seat. I could scarcely lay it down. I find each of your books to be intellectually stimulating and spiritually invigorating.I count them as treasured volumes and dear friends."

"Your Secret of the Rose series probably has done more to change my thinking about God as our Father than anything I have ever read."

"So much of Christian literature is shallow and unrealistic. At times I feel like I'm feeding my mind mental fluff. However, your books are different. Between you and MacDonald, I've met characters after my own heart, men and women who have depth of character and a sincere love for truth. There is so little of that anywhere nowadays that your books are a welcome refreshment."
