Impressions & Viewpoints

God has sent your site to me when I was desperate for hope and encouragement. Our 3 year old daughter past away to be with our Lord 2 years ago and I cried with Hope and Joy when I saw the photo 'Ragamuffins'. Thank you

—Vivian Holabird

I have to tell you that I "Rest for the Weary". It depicts Christ's true nature beyond words.

—Rick Santiago

I was so moved by Michaels presentation.... What a blessing his ministry is. I am writing to tell you how thrilling it is to meet a Christian who is serving God creatively. ...I couldn't stop crying at your presentation of Jesus. I have been searching for something visual like this for my daughter and as a witness. Your vision and mission was beautiful. WHat a difference this will make for me to show all my secular and Christian friends the Jesus I serve and his true fruits of the spirit which I try to live by.

—Cynthia Raffa

I have no words to express my heart ...not only because all of this has come thru YOU and Cheryl...and then to hear you express how the vision for the pictures were formed from your heart to your mind.....just as any preacher meditates and creates and voices truth, for you to 'see' and be able to express, not only visually as a Michelangelo....to be seen and interpreted by the viewer.....but with today's technology to be able to add the expression from your own heart, how the mind of Christ, message of Christ was formed in your talent to speak a clear message of the historical Christ....and His relevance in today's shattered world and broken people......and I am able to share this brilliance, your clarity with 'my little flock' ......

—Dr. Harriette Crain

This book is truly inspirational, beyond what I was expecting

—Cheryl Gleason

I just want you to know that I was channel surfing and stop on CNN and listened to your story this morning. I am greatly moved in a great way. This is the most awesome thing I have seen in a great while.

—Melissa McLain

Last night I sat down and not just looked at and read it - but studied it. I took the time to think about how I should apply both the words and images in it into my life. It had quite an impact on me

—Keith Taylor

The stories of the Bible brought to life with the juxtaposition against modern day subjects..it is wonderful. Thank you for staying true to your dreams. It has encouraged me to work harder for mine.

—Nic Stoltzfus

Bravo! The supernatural impact that these are having on people… Journeys is blessed, favored and anointed. A day does not go by that I don’t think about at least one of the images and get wisdom, encouragement and/or insight from it. God is using these pictures in all of our lives.

—Beth Bragg

Let me say what an impact your project has had on me. It is truly AMAZING! I love the Lord with all my heart and have for many years, but somehow, your pictures project  have so "captured' aspects of the Savior that it feels like I love Him even more! It helps me to "see" Him more clearly! Thank you! It is truly anointed!

—Pastor Tim Gilligan

Received the framed collectors’ image yesterday…it is absolutely incredible! I was expecting something very nice from what I had previewed…I received something spectacular.

—John Peasley

I am in awe of Michael's work!! What an incredible collection! My favorite is Daily Bread; Jesus finding it humorous and yet loving how we try to depend on ourselves to meet our own needs daily.

—Monie Tewa

Creatively massaging escatological themes takes knowledge and guts. Both are in "Journeys with the Messiah." Humanizing Jesus by depicting Him in almost mundane settings is risky. You've done it well. It is inspiring that this collection proclaims he is alive and well NOW, and the comforting suggestion that he just "happens to be in the neighborhood."

—Bob Scruggs- Melborne

My faith has been renewed with this fresh, contemporary look at Jesus and his messages to mankind.

—Raymond Watkins

I was moved in the deepest part of me when I saw these photos. I joyed when I saw the smile on Jesus' face at the banquet, cried when I saw my aborted children playing near Him, and I related to the woman at the Well. He is Gracious Mercy. He is the Great I AM. Worthy of all Praise and my goodness, you captured Him!!! Thank YOU! Thank YOU!!

—Mindy Johnson

I believe God is going to open such big doors for you... your photos stirred me – and I don’t always appreciate art. I will pray that God blast doors wide open because of the gift He’s given you, your faithfulness to use it for His Gospel.

—Paul Kummer, Pastor Grace Lutheran, Destin, Florida

“This is amazing photography with a profound message. Every time I review these images and contemplate the wholeness and magnitude of this project, I am in awe of the talent, dedication, love and refreshing interpretation of the messages incorporated within each image.”

—Elisa Crowder, ElitePrintGroup

“Words don’t adequately describe this project. Awesome, wonderful, thought-provoking and reflective, are a few of the terms that leap to mind.”

— Michael Grady, New Gulf Coast Choir

“Captivating, loving and sometimes haunting, these photographs introduce us to a Jesus we may never have known. I believe no matter where you are in your faith these images will speak to your heart and create a dialogue to be shared with fellow travelers.”

— Tricia Carlisle-Northcutt, Right Brain Strategies & PR

“We could go on and on about all the feelings and emotions the stories of the images brought out in us...simply cannot wait for ‘the book’ and the amazing exhibit with all the images together.”

— Terry & Dianne Olive

“What intimacy, soul searching and tender compassion in that face [Jesus’ face] brought into sharp focus against a world that fades in the background.”

— Gail Ennis

“Thanks for being insightful and for creating a site where I can come and see word pictures beyond comparison and hear divinely inspired spoken motivation. At the close of a demanding day in the life, I'm glad I took time to receive 'rest' as I listened to you tonight.”

— Ron McCormick, The House (A Student Leadership Center), Woodbridge, Va.

“I cannot wait to see where God takes this project.”

— Kelli Corbin, Nashville
