Feedback/Reviews

"Daryl’s deep sense of spirituality and oneness is evident in his essays and reflections. This compilation is a brilliant collection of positive, inspiring messages of hope, understanding, and encouragement.   Each piece speaks both independently and to every audience offering inspiration and clarity.  This is a book I will refer to over and over again."

 "I recently read Daryl F. Meyers' book “Someday.” In today’s world of conflict and confusion, it was a very pleasant and inspiring read. It is a collection of over seventy short essays and almost three hundred and fifty shorts mostly ore liners, titled Reflections.” Both of these represent a collection of positive, inspiring messages of hope, understanding, and encouragement, a pleasant shift from the ugliness and negativity we are constantly bombarded with today from so many sides. 

It represents a collection of observations and insights through Daryl’s eighty-plus years of life experiences. Offered not as a dogmatic path to be followed but as observations from a life well lived for those things to be considered in choosing the path to follow in your life. Unfortunately, too many of us do not take the time to focus on the important core values during our lives and only begin to focus as we enter the twilight of our years.

 The essays and reflections are all short reads, but beware they provoke a lot of thought and consideration. Some of the most thought-provoking were “ The Child Within, What Time is it? The Journey and Happiness is? We should not be restricted in our pursuit of the answers to what is a good life. We should recognize that this is a journey we all take throughout our lives, each individually tailored as no one path fits all. Sharing core values with our young generation is always a challenge as they seem so smart when younger and how us older folks just do not understand today’s world. Well, the reverse is really the case, and that is just the way life has always been.

 In either case, I recommend this as a great read and resource. It will make you think. I thank Daryl for sharing his work with us. It is a remarkable gift."

"I so appreciated reading this book. Once you start, it is hard to put down. The essays provide an array of information for daily living and are so encouraging. As I was going through a very grievous time, these essays really spoke to me personally, but in the end, the essays also put things into perspective. There are not many books like this one in the marketplace. I hope there are more to come!!  ... Some of the essays are going to be meaningful to whomever reads the book. It can reach a wide audience."

“Wonderful, heart-warming, vocal perfection--your voice still moves me! Only God could provide that voice at your/our age. Daryl, you are ageless and I encourage you to do more music as your legacy and as encouragement for us to keep hanging on!”

"Your VOICE!  It’s richer, more lovely than ever!"

“I loved the rainbow color and how you color-coordinated the various sections. Truly a book that is appealing to the senses!... What I have read is very true and indeed comes from a chaplain’s experience. I resonated with what I read. Your warning not to theologize is understood, but I seldom do that after working as a chaplain, unless I am specifically addressing theology. …I am a loyal, 7th-generation SDA, but I am also aware of theology’s limitations, particularly in reaching hurting hearts. A different approach is needed, and you have done that in your fine book."

“I remember the day I encouraged you to use your wisdom and words for the articles you wrote for the Brighton Blade.  Who could have foretold they would one day bring forth a beautiful book of encouragement?  I love the cover art --- and I will certainly be reading from it often.    These days we need to offer such hope and encouragement to others, and your reflections offer such hope!”

" I must say I'm amazed by your recordings.  I don't know of anyone your age (forgive me for mentioning it) who has maintained such vocal integrity and youthful sound in their older years."

"What a marvelous gift!  We absolutely love your #1 Best Seller.  Rather giddy over this book and that so many of my favorite of your essays were included.  Thanks again."

"Each essay has a beautiful message and they still bring a smile to my face, just like they did when I read them for the first time many years ago.

I love your steady, clear, and powerful voice. The tone and intonation are also great and natural. You’re reading the essays in a natural manner, emphasizing what should be emphasized to make the message clear and appealing.

• The Sound Of Music – appreciation of the beautiful sounds of nature around us. Natural, dynamic voice; I hear joy in it.  Awesome! (BTW, I think it is the first of your essays I have read.)

• What Time Is it – reflections on time, the world without time, clocks etc. Kind of “the power of now”… and reflections on ending the earthly journey and “coming home”. Dynamic, joyful, very pleasant voice.

• Never Forgotten – you’re reading this one with respect in your voice, as needed for an essay about the Creator of all the beauty this essay is about. Great tone and intonation (and beautiful message, of course)

• Who Am I – also great, wise reflections on our identity, the human journey… read with a clear and natural-sounding voice.

I think it’s a great thing when the author reads his/her book for its audio version. So, there are actually 2 advantages here: 1) the author himself reading his masterpiece, 2) the author’s voice is clear and perfect for audiobooks as such, and especially great for the messages that are wise, meaningful, and joyful – exactly like those presented in this book and writings of other spiritual authors who share their message with the world."
