MORE OF WHAT SCHOOLS ARE SAYING ABOUT AUTHOR STEVEN NEWMAN

"You can't imagine what an impact you had upon the lives of everyone who heard you at the Young Authors' Conference. Students sought me out at school on Thursday to mention specific things you had said, and two boys were absolutely ecstatic that you had eaten lunch with them! It is so refreshing to meet someone whose very life shows that planning and hard work can work 'miracles.'"
Judy Furnas, Young Authors' Coordinator
Westerville City Schools
"Time and time again you were listed as the favorite part of our Young Authors' Conference. Your message of "have confidence, believe in yourself ” really impressed many students. They saw you as the man who did the impossible. We are planning another conference, and seventh graders have already asked if you'll be there. Thanks for bringing so much joy into our lives."
Beth Refeis, Young Authors'Coordinator
Worthington City Schools
"Steven, your journey will only grow in magnitude and legendary status over the coming years. You are young, ambitious, resilient, and courageous. But most of all, your hunger and thirst for serving mankind in other special ways will only continue to grow. I can see in you that certain spark that represents a God-given talent that makes you a man among men."
Dr. Leslie A. Postic, Founder/ Exec. Director
The Buckeye Boys Ranch
"The students talked of your experiences for days after you were here. They've also driven me crazy to get the book finished so they can read it. We all enjoyed the book immensely. I found it easy to envision all the places you described; to smell the smells; to feel the joys, fear, and the loneliness you must have been feeling at times. I'm so glad we invited you to our school!"
Becky Snider, Honor Roll Chairperson
New Lexington Junior High School
"What a great day! Thanks for the "Vision-Attitude-Respect!" Your video is still in demand. Last night the custodian even took it home."
