Captivating!
From the introduction to the very last page, the story of Stacey’s life was so beautifully written out. A story of hope, endurance, faith in the midst of fear, and the ultimate healing journey. The author, Dwayne Harris, did an exceptional job painting the picture of his beloved Stacey’s journey while weaving scripture references, moments of reflection, and bringing to light the questions and fears we all walk through. I highly recommend this read!

Beautiful legacy
This beautiful personal story has renewed my passion for reading. Once started, I didn’t want to put it down. The best part was how God spoke to me through it. Stacey’s beautiful legacy will live on forever within these heartfelt words. I’ve been sharing this as a gift & will continue to share this with others. Thank you Dwayne for sharing this journey with us, and allowing God to speak to us through this powerful testimony. May God continue to bless you and your family.

LIFE CHANGING
WOW is really the only word I can say.I am almost finished with the book Even If and I am blown away. I have read a few books in my life and hands down this is a Top 5 on my list.I wanted to share feedback because this book has profoundly changed my life.When I was reading the book, there was so much grace and ease. The Holy Spirit is in, on and through this book. There have been very few books that I can zoom through quickly, I’m talking VERY FEW but because this book is anointed by God Himself, I was able to retain, gain revelation and fly through it.There were a few sections that really put language to what I’ve been sensing in certain seasons. It was such deep revelation. I can tell SGT and Stacey walk the walk and talk the talk. The ANOINTING is HEAVY. What an amazing woman of God Stacey was, I feel I know her now through your words because she was so embedded in the process as you said you were ONE and I can truly say I sense that when reading this book. I have never seen this played out in life as an example but now I can say I see it (the oneness demonstrated). If I could give this book a word or two it would be The Tangible Revelations of God. It was just like one thing after another, things from Heaven were being revealed. I can tell you I was weeping almost the whole time, and they that sow in tears will reap in joy and that is true for your life. Stacey’s suffering and your suffering is not in vain and God is going to MOVE in and through it. What a beautiful love story. And lastly that prophetic dream… WOW I felt like I was seeing it for myself.Thank you for your obedience, it’s been an honor to read this book and I am looking forward to seeing Jesus revealed In your life more and more!!

Amazing Testimony of Faith and Perseverance!
The first thing that always came to mind when we heard Stacey’s name was her smile – that smile was always there and lit up the room! Reading the details of the challenges that she endured – not only on her cancer journey but in the abuse she experienced as a child – was heartbreaking and brought many tears to our eyes. But her faith! One would never know when meeting her the pain she had been through – she was an amazing example of forgiveness, courage and strength which she exemplified till the last time we saw her. Just like the Apostle Paul she found strength in her weaknesses and trials no matter how painful or hard – and she worshiped God and encouraged others continuously. This book is extremely well written, very hard to put down, and includes many references to the scriptures that carried her through to her eternal reward. It will inspire everyone that reads it and remind you to savor every precious moment of every chapter in your life. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one or going through any trials in your life this is a book that will truly encourage, inspire and bring hope to your situation.Thank you so much Stacey, Dwayne and family for sharing this testimony! She was blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing and loving family to support her through this journey! We continue to love and pray for each and everyone of you!

Even If is a beautiful book that shows love, and how to have faith in difficult times.
This book follows the author and his wife, Stacey, on her battle with cancer. Although this book takes you through the trials and ultimate loss that the family had to face, it is a beautiful journey through love, trust, and the faith that is shared. This is the first of two books and the second one – Living Forward – is great as well!

A Steadfast Love
A beautiful love story you both have. You are an inspiration Dwyane. This book is such a testament of Stacey’s unwavering and steadfast love for Jesus and her trust in the almighty that He in fact will make all things new again. I know she is incredibly proud of you for sharing her words and may this wonderful book bring help and healing to the many that will read it. Blessings to all who are on a healing journey and know that while you’re reading this book, it was written with a most incredible love. The author not only loves his wife as Jesus loves the church, but his words are so inspiring when you’re walking through a storm of your own. I bought one also for my sweet Mother In Love who lost the love of her life a few years ago but still grieves daily for him.
