| "If you haven't read The Vagabond Healer, you should! If you start reading in the
evening, put on the coffee and get prepared
to stay up until you have finished reading
it. It's that good! I know, I stayed up most
of the night reading Jim's book from cover
to cover." Carol McCarty, Pittsburg, TX. "I just loved The Vagabond Healer. I've read every one of your novels, and although I've enjoyed them all, this is the best you've done yet. I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it. The characters were so warm and human. I particularly liked Sam, who is so wise in a down to earth way. Keep up your wonderful writing." Josephine Kirchen, Manitowoc, WI "BROTHER is a superb story of faith and courage. The setting was authentic and the descriptions were so vivid and exquisite I felt as though I was there. I grew to love Bernardo and all of the Apaches who became his friends. I have seldom read a book that dealt so beautifully with the attempts of one man to bridge the cultural gaps of his time." -Lanna Richards, author of HEART OF STONES "Wow, what a beautiful story. I just couldn't put the book down. Every page drew me deeper into the story and I felt all the conflicts that Bernardo experienced. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants a great read and wonderful story." -Josephine Kirchen, Manitowoc, WI "... beautiful descriptions of the desert and mountains as they must have been two hundred years ago. The characters were all believable and three dimensional. This is one of the best novels I've read about the Spanish period in our desert Southwest." -Douglas Brandt, Santa Fe, NM "Brother is one of those books that I believe will stand the test of time...I find myself thinking about it and the faith that very simple monk displayed. So many books can be read and enjoyed and then later you can't remember what they were about without reading the blurb! I don't think Brother will ever be that way, which I believe says a lot about the book." -Joy Stuart, Bromberg Memorial Library "Wow, what a great story! The twists and turns and the unusual villain were fascinating. I can't remember when I felt so sympathetic toward the bad guy. THE PAYMASTER is a really fantastic read!" -Stephen C. Moore, Arlington, TX "When I began reading THE PAYMASTER I wasn't certain that I agreed with the premise. But the characters are so well developed that I began to understand why The Paymaster was committing these crimes. It reached a point where I was actually rooting for him to get away. A great story!" -Amanda Hampton, Batesville, AR "I'm not much of a mystery fan, but once I got started with THE PAYMASTER I couldn't put it down. Lots of twists and great characterization." -Lanna Richards, College Station, TX "A great book. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days, then read it again. This is even better than the first Matthew Goeser novel!" -F. Thompson, Pittsburg, TX "In rereading the manuscript I found I enjoyed the characters and story just as much as ever. Also, I love your simple yet elegant prose. Makes for very easy reading." -A.C., literary agent. "I found the character of Edward Foster very compelling and thought Mr. Olson's writing contained vivid descriptions." -C.H., Editor "I thought it was a very readable tale with an atmospheric small-town setting and some engaging characters. With the arrival in town of the mysterious Eddy, I looked forward to seeing what twists and turns the story had in store." -B. M. Senior Editor "This is a very heartwarming tale about life and love, and it was especially good to see Eddy fill the void in Lisa's lonely life." -C.P. Executive Editor. "The Vagabond Healer is a warm and touching book and Mr. Olson has done a wonderful job of portraying the characters' full range of emotions." -J.S. Editor. "The few hours I invested in your debt-free course were very well spent. I just wish someone had taught me this twenty years ago — when I started my career. I'd be able to retire, or as you put it, choose to work, at age 40!" -Kenneth S. Bland, General Manager, Xerox Corporation Thank you for providing the financial education training at our regional meeting. One Employee stated that this was the most beneficial training they had had since being at the TDA." -Ronald Bertrand, Regional Director, Texas Department of Agriculture "Being a single parent, I wondered how I was going to put my daughter through college with my salary. You have given me the way and an incentive to do so. Thank you." -Nancy S. "I have been searching for a solution. I always knew intuitively that there was something out there. I am pleased — more thrilled — about this. My family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts." -Karen P. "...I must admit that I was skeptical about the statement contained in the promotional literature which indicated that the course would show people how to eliminate all of their personal debt in 5 to 7 years (including mortgage)...In only a few hours, with the help of Tom Watson, I was forced to change my position. I quickly came to realize that it was possible for an individual or a family to eliminate all of their personal debt within 5 to 7 years." -Dr. Larry O'Neal, Associate Professor of Business, Stephen F.
