"I was moved by your family's story. I could resonate with the pain you describe. For any of us who have lost those dear to us, especially our children, 'torn from our arms' feels like an exceptionally appropriate title. It surely describes what I know." -- Susan Sonnenday Vogel, author of And Then Mark Died, Dean of the Chapel, Saint Paul School of Theology, Kansas City, Missouri.

"torn from our arms by Dan Bryan offers us a glimpse of the way our lives can be shattered in just one moment. It lets us share in the gut-wrenching emotions that we are left to battle when losing a child and the powerful and amazing grace of Jesus Christ as He reaches out to us with His words, His love, and His comfort." -- Susan Ragan, National GriefShare Consultant, Church Initiative, Inc., Wake Forest, NC

"Darin's death stunned all who knew and loved him. May you experience a heartwarming story as you see the love "oozing" from between the lines. As you contemplate the great love Dan (the father) had for his son, may you get a brief glimpse of the much greater love God has for us." -- Tom Woodall, Retired Cross Country Coach and Professor at Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois

"You don't read torn from our arms passively, put it down, and forget about it." -- Donna Conklin, Farmington, Missouri.

 "I couldn't put it down! I had heard about the book, bought it at the grocery store, and read, read... What a story! What a life! -- Joyce Laurence, Chillicothe, Missouri

"I just want to thank you for putting into writing (as agonizing as it must have been at times) what I also experienced. It is amazing how God can work through ways we would never imagine. I'm sure you have helped many grieving parents, but probably never imagined how your words could touch a circumstance such as mine. I am so thankful God sent your words to me exactly when I needed them the very most." -- Canda Woods, Ludlow, Missouri
