Read them, change lives.
I have read them all. I am waiting to hear if a 4th is in the works. Pierced By A Sword is my favorite, although I loved them all and want more. I am waiting. I've read "Pierced" 3 times.

Share the fulfillment of being a Catholic.
I always loved being Catholic, never could express the feelings I had though. Thanks Bud for getting the words out. The wonderful way you described our love and devotion to Mary. Years ago I consecrated my children to her protection, immediately after each of my three daughters were born. They are mothers themselves now and I am teaching my grandchildren all about our Heavenly Mother. Your book says it all. What a great story. Loved Pope Patrick and Father Chet. Can't wait to read House of Gold.

Good work...BRING 'EM ON!!
Dear Bud, Your book was given to me by a friend, with the understanding that it is "Awesome--read it!!" I said okay. I started to read it, got about half way through, and said, "What a stupid, trashy book!!" So I called my friend, and voiced my complaints. She said, "I know it starts that way, but you'll see...it gets better." So, reluctantly, I continued, and she's right...not only did it get better, but I understood the reasons for the previous events. They Had to take place, for the rest of it to have a purpose! I couldn't put the book down. I read until 2:00a.m.! I'd wake up at 6:00a.m., drink a pot of coffee, and read some more!! I laughed out loud, cried streams of tears (especially during the end with Fr. Chet--that killed me!!), and I even yelled "Aw, COOL!!", during the Warning. I read some parts to my husband out loud, he was quite impressed! Thany you, Bud...When's the next book?..BRING 'EM ON!!

touching, interesting.
This book touched my heart, and made me a more devoted catholic. I gave it to a relative to read and he went to confession after 10 years of staying away.

Thank you Bud. Gracias Bud.
Thank you Bud!. Last year I returned to the Catholic Church after 20 years and I have found a wonderful world inside it. Your books (and the friendship of some good practicing catholics) help me to understand and to love the role our Bless Mother the Virgin Mary acts in God's salvation plan. She just wanto lead us to her son our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you. P.D. have you ever considered to translate your books to spanish?.

My faith came alive..
I have read "Pierced" twice since I received it last winter. I feel my life has changed...I was a catholic who went through the motions...now I am catholic to the core. I practice my faith with the devotion I should have always had. The book made me really think about my faith and make a decision to practice my catholic faith everyday and live my faith daily. Thank you for the inspiration....

Open your eyes to Mary.
This book was very hard to put down. It has enriched my devotion to our Blessed Virgin Mary. The coming trials and tribulations are scary but I feel I can withstand them because of the Love of the Two Hearts as expressed in your book. I am on the way to making a formal consecration of myself and the whole family to the Immaculate Heart of Mary--Thank you, Bud.

I hate to finish it.
My best friend's husband loaned me Pierced By A Sword. He told me it was his favorite book of all time. I have yet to put it down. I started several hours ago. I took a break hoping there is going to be a book to replace this one when I am done.
- Laura Storms from New Orleans

A great evangilization tool!
My husband & I read and loved this book so much that we gave copies to all of our small church group members. Several have told us that they were moved by the story to pray the rosary.
- a reader from Indianapolis, IN

Really touches one's soul.
This book was wonderful. It really makes one want to become a better Catholic. It was moving, made my laugh and cry and seemed so real like you are right there. I thoroughly enjoyed it and could not put it down.
