“I read the book over Christmas break, and must say how much I loved it. I've been advising int'l students for eight years, and Darkened by the Sun is a story that will resonate with int'l students, but especially, I think, with the advisors that hear this kind of story over and over from the students they love and serve. Very validating and uplifting!
Thank you for writing it!!” Natalie Lang, International Student Advisor, University of Washington, Bothell

"...I could not put it down. It's a must read..."
Delores Treger, Executive Director, Help From People To People, Inc., NY

"As I read the book, Ted’s ability to use language was such that I felt I was there with him in his efforts to gain understanding as well as his amazing faith in God's power to change lives. His descriptions of his family, his community, your heartfelt desires to communicate his faith and hope come through so clearly that I felt as though I was there as he struggled to continue his desire to learn English. Ted’s faith in God's ability to work through others to help him is so profound and real. His bravery, his desire to help your country and its people by acquiring more education is a beacon for all of us to continue along the path of knowledge and perseverance." Pat Davis, Librarian, Everett Community College, WA
