What Readers are Saying

“If I were limited to a few things to take into my future, this book would be second in line behind The Bible. The Power and Blessings of a Sunrise succinctly lays out life-enhancing, I’d even propose life-saving tools embedded in true stories from this brave and introspective combat Vietnam veteran. In its simplicity, Rice challenges the reader to distill and determine our own “disabilities” so that we can then identify how we are to compensate or correct, empowering ourselves to a more fulfilling life. HOPE serves as the vanguard of this mission and ACTION its surety of its success. And the beauty of it all, it begins with each new sunrise.”

I have read your book 3 times, if not more!  Never have I read, and thoroughly enjoyed, a book clearly written to inspire the reader to move into a higher and greater understanding of exactly what “living life to its fullest” is all about!  It’s a book filled with life’s little secrets and instructions.  I wish your book was required reading for elementary, middle, and high schools across the country…every year! Liz Cannon, North Carolina

As I read ‘The Power And Blessings of A Sunrise’ late one evening, the light went from bright to dim. I held the book steady under the silvery rays from a nearby streetlight to catch every word.  I didn’t want to get up.  I was mesmerized. With every turn of the page, my sense of peace grew. I wish the same for everyone who has the blessing to read this book. Barry Rice has written a timeless classic!  Dr. Theresa Pantanella, OTD Founder, Women of Mastery and Faith, Florida

I got Barry’s book, The Power and Blessings of a Sunrise, because I have known him for a few years and always enjoy reading things that friends have written. This immediately drew me in, as he takes us through his journey and life experiences and shows how his relationship with God has given a new and refreshing outlook on life. Following a great outline of how to walk in tandem with the Lord, Barry’s book is a must read for anyone, at any stage of their own journey.

Your book contains a powerful, essential-to-happiness message. A scripture comes to mind which illustrates that message: Psalm 118:24 “This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be rejoice and be glad in it” (KJV). The sunrise metaphor you used throughout your book adds a real, every-day, useful “force multiplier” to that passage.

You delivered your message in a manner that I hadn’t really heard from the pulpit, or read in the writings of religious scholars. I feel confident that your approach to the topic, compellingly and straightforwardly illustrated by your own life’s experience, has the potential to touch folks in a way that can be spontaneous and immediate (“Oh yeah, I get that”). I also found the presentation of your message to be instructive, and credit that as well to the very honest and candid way you described your path to spirituality. That’s where your message becomes instructive. It’s been my experience that people can make big course corrections in their lives only if initially being motivated by something, or someone else. For a reader in the right frame of mind, your book can absolutely be a factor in facilitating that degree of change. Mike Bair, Tennessee

The Power And Blessings Of A Sunrise is a testimonial to life.  As I read, I realized that I had fallen into the everyday life of wanting to succeed and have all my worldly possessions. My life was always as a believer, but on my terms.  The Power And Blessings Of A Sunrise has made me change course and realize the importance of having a God driven life. THANK YOU BARRY R.
