Once I started Missouri Mystic I couldn't put it down! Jon writes like he talks - real down to earth, and personable. I also appreciated his objectivity, no judgments.  Even in hard times he remembers his neutrality. I could feel his pain but there was no negativity.  I also learned much more about the Course and liked the way he wove it into his life's story.
Bonnie Kriss

What a great book! I really enjoyed it. I read a lot and I can tell you
this book is very well written.
Marion Murphy

Missouri Mystic was startlingly different from my preconceptions. Jon is so brilliant, yet from time to time as dumb as most of us! It gives hope for all the ordinary people. If they could read your story, maybe they wouldn't be so hard on themselves!  I applaud his unwillingness to fake it with the church and to embrace a new spirituality before it had a popular following. He should be given a big gold medal for remaining true himself.
 Larry Hall

WOW. I was thrilled to read Missouri Mystic. I learned so much from your story. Gary Renard  tells "Jon" stories and now I see why. Missouri Mystic taught me even better how to not make the soap opera real. I shall be reading more of Jon’s books in the future.
Pauline Peterson

Great book! Jon has been there and done that and come a long way baby.
Betty Hamilton

We really enjoyed Missouri Mystic. It’s is going to be a huge success!.
