"We are glad that this project has finally seen the light of day. Your commentaries have been such a blessing over the years and now this project will give your body of works new life and wings. It will continue to bring hope, wisdom and reason to those who hunger for them."
- Robert Tutt & Vicky Howard, Youth of Unity Sponsors
"Your text is wonderful!! My school counselor ordered it for me and we plan to utilize it in
Advising Classes, and my Lower School and Middle School classes."
- Margaret Healy, Wichita Collegiate School
"Rob Simon has put together a set of essays ... that should be a required textbook for a course
taught in every school system in America. Possibly, the title of the course could be 'Life
Perspectives to Ponder.' In time we would see very positive results through a new breed of
citizens." - Nate Lee, Moorpark, CA
"Rob's prismatic snippets of life's wonders are perfect for late night reading when I can't sleep: a cup of cocoa, a compassionate listener, an equalizer, morale booster ... a grandparent-on-call!
Thank you for your creative inspirations which rest upon my nightstand. Lucky, we who read
your words." - Grace Doetsch, Surprise, AZ
"Rob, over the years I've told you that you speak my mind very well. I'm not sure, however, that
you know just how comforting that is to me. I guess we all need validation sometime. The
attempt at shepherding factual information is blocked all too frequently by a recalcitrant
recipient caught up in self-destructive internal dialogue. If it wasn't for people like you, I think I'dbe working on stifling reflection. It's all about consciousness."
- Clarence M. King, Jr., Wichita, KS
"A wonderful read, filled with insight. Rob manages to educate while entertaining. This book
should be picked up and read often - with a smile!" - P. Thorpe Christiansen, Libby, MT
"One of the greatest joys in life is a genuine sharing of warmth and humanity with another soul -
creating bonds of kinship amid the gifts of mankind. In his book, Inciting Reflection, Rob Simon
not only extends his hand to all, but does so in a manner that opens the door and invites us to
look out and around and appreciate what the eye meets. Brave with expressions of love and
responsibility, this book will serve to enrich and delight the lives of those who read it.
- Chris (Herpolsheimer) Vogts, Haysville KS
"I'm glad to see you included my favorite commentary - on giving yourself a valentine. I was so
moved by it when I first heard it that I remember where I was and what I was doing at the
moment (a good JFK moment!) - Greg Coykendall, Wichita, KS
"Refreshing and enlightening, your perspective will inspire me and those I come in contact with."- Karen Koehn
"The 'New Story of Christmas' was so heartwarming. My eyes filled with tears of joy and
helped me remember all the blessings in my life," - Shirley Cox
