CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS
"Still Holding Hands is a remarkable acheivement. One, because such an emotionally mature account of a family crisis comes from such a young author. Two, because the book beautifully captures the enduring strength of a family's love. The message here is critical to a life well-lived. That message is, God makes us human but families teach us humanity." - Senator Charles Grassley (IA)
"Stacie Ruth's story has the simplicity of a young girl and yet the wisdom and insight of an adult. You become a family member in this touching story, firsthand experiencing their pain, heartbreak, faith, and love. This is a spirit-filled tribute to her Papa Ray as well as her whole family." - Randy Travis (Country Music Superstar)
MEDIA QUOTES
“…Stoelting's self-described 'naive' method apparently worked: her books consistently sell out at signings; the Alzheimer’s Association has invited her to speak at its conferences; and she's been named the honorary chairperson for [a Nebraska] Memory Walk to aid Alzheimer's research." - Publisher's Weekly's Religion Book Line (Feature)
“… as soon as I heard about her...and then saw a video of her energetic, passionate speech to a group about the dreaded disease Alzheimer's...I felt we were kindred spirits. That kinship goes deeper than writer to writer. It's more that she has a deep, deep love for Jesus and the grandparents whose lives influenced hers in such a powerful way."
“…had quite a few celebrities endorse the book. Again, impressive.” - Crosswalk.com (#1 Christian Website) “Stacie Ruth Stoelting is the daughter who we all pray to have. Raised in the heartland, she is just completing high school and is involved in enough activities to keep any three people busy: acting, Christian music, and sports. Oh, and writing, as well. It is through Stoelting's writing that we truly learn the depth of her character and, more importantly, the strength of her faith in God….
“Stoelting is an example to all of us --- young and old --- an antidote for the despair that seems to be all too pervasive in our current time. Still Holding Hands is a testament to the proposition that deep and unshakable faith will see one through the darkest of times. “Highly recommended.” - FaithfulReader.com, by Joe Hartlaub
