One fellow said, "I feel cheated.  Why haven't I had such an informative class before now!"


The last day of class, one of the sutdents  commented, "Mark Manion was the best part of the entire program!"  I couldn't agree more.


It's really important for the students to know that there is forgiveness, even for them.  They know they have a lot of hard work ahead of them in rebuilding relationships.  You give them hope.  It's really beautiful."


"Several students related how difficult the struggle is to forgive themselves!  You gave them hope that it is possible."

"Those who believe they are invincible to the effects of drugs and alcohol will be sobered by Mark's loss at the hand of those who thought the same."
