Dear Dave~
I thought your books are very inspiring. It is hard to belive one can have a good heart, including a forgiving one. You show true forgiveness, and true compassion. You amaze me, and many others. I congratulate you for stoping the cycle, and to prove that good things can come out of bad situations. I am gald that you are able to share your stories with the rest of the world. Thanks for inspiring me!

Hello Dave I have read all your books that you have put on yourself from The Child Called it to Help Yourself. I am doing a report on your book A MAN NAMED DAVE. What you went through god was a great deal of help and yourself for having the courage to even go back to the house after you got older. My blessing go out to you. And to your family. YOu are a person with great respect and you have all ways been somebody of great deal.

Dave you had lots of courage to go through all those beatings. "A Child Called "It" is indeed the best book I have ever read.
