Thanks, Dr. Rick Barrett and Dr. Joe Vitale, for reminding me of what matters most in one’s life.” Dr. Doris Bilton Board President of The Child Care Council of Great Houston, Inc. www.cccghi.com “Dr. Rick Barrett’s and Dr. Joe Vitale’s book, Give to Live , will provide you the key to a state of instant spiritual gratification. They recognize that people have an innate thirst to help others and the lack of involvement is not due to indifference or insensitivity. This book will open your soul and mind to uncover a different world…a world of giving and receiving infinite heavenly gifts. You will see and feel God’s abundance and riches pouring forth into your life.” Orlando O’Neill Director and Producer Uriel Films www.theultimatelearningprogram.com “Give to Live is a blueprint for us to govern our lives by, as it relates to giving to satisfy a need. It’s important to give on purpose; to make your giving count, serving with a positive intention and according to others’ needs. This book illustrates karma; that which you desire the most, give the most. In the book of Matthew it states, ‘If his son asks for bread would you give him a stone, or if he asks for fish give him a snake?’ God is a giver of good gifts to those who ask. Give to Live is a gift for life!” Cheryl Lynch CEO-LifeSkills Institue, Houston, Texas www.lifeskillsinstitute.org “Aside from the obvious that when you give to others it helps them to manifest their dreams and desires, there is also a secondary benefit. When we give to others we are AUTOMATICALLY placed in a state of ‘alignment’. When we are in alignment with the Universe, everything flows to us EASILY and EFFORTLESSLY. Nothing will put you in a state of alignment FASTER than assisting other people to achieve their dreams and desires. Joe Vitale’s and Rick Barrett’s GIVE TO LIVE will bless your life and the life of everyone you share it with. Share it with as many people as possible and notice how your ability to manifest your desires increases exponentially. It is a winning life strategy that is guaranteed to change the world and change your life!” Dr. Robert Anthony http://drrobertanthony.com III Give to Live “The book is healing. It brings a truth that is the foundation of our being and has the potential to save mankind from its own demise. It has brought me back to reality in an uncertain world. Thank you for your insight and efforts in giving us this book.” Charles Hensley, D.C. www.HensleyWellness.com “Within the first 10 pages of reading your book I was at the edge of tears, being able to relate to the feelings that involve serving others. I have to say THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK, I do hope others give themselves a chance to follow your example as I did, there is nothing better in this world than serving, helping and sharing with others. I think you will indeed get the message to them!!!!” Loani Anderson Rotary De Saltillo , Project Coordinator and Community Organizer La Gloria, Colonia, Mexico “I believe strongly in ‘Giving Back’ there is an ‘Ebb and Flow’ in this LIFE that carries with it great power, this book touches the pulse of that gift. This book has touched the pulse of the essence of this life of every successful endeavor and its ability to multiply for us all!” LuAn Mitchell Voice America’s Millionaire Mentor “There is a spiritual principle that says ‘Whatever you focus on, expands.’ Focus on your business, it will expand. Focus on good health and your good health will expand. But what do you focus on if you want an extraordinary life far surpassing even your wildest expectation? The answer is simple after you read, Give to Live . It is probably one of the most inspiring books I've ever read and has made me aware of what a powerful message (the lessons in this book) can do to change the world.” Joseph Sugarman Chairman and Founder BluBlocker Corporation “Give to Live inspired me to new heights! This touching and powerful book is a testament to the fact that the Universe rewards you generously when you take action to be in the service of others.” Debbie Allen CSP International Business Speaker Best Selling Author & Motivational Film Star www.DebbieAllen.com IV Give to Live “What do you want to attract into your life? Scarcity or abundance, turmoil or rich relationships, struggles or blessings? Giving is the access to manifesting what you wish to attract and Give to Live is the book that contains the wisdom necessary for you to manifest your deepest desires by contributing to others. If you are ready to be abundant, at peace, joyful, and all you can be, this is the book for you.” Dr. Joe Rubino, CEO CenterForPersonalReinvention.com Creator, SelfEsteemSystem.com “Give to Live is a MUST READ for everyone! Dr. Rick Barrett’s passion and commitment to making change in the world, and his persuasive exhortation for all the book’s readers to experience the joys and rewards of giving, exude from the pages of Give to Live. And nobody weaves his own personal experiences and insights (and those of other successful thought leaders) into powerful and universally applicable ‘laws’, we all can understand and follow, better than Dr. Joe Vitale. Thank you, both, for this inspiring reminder of the ‘power of giving.’” Jon Biel, Co-Founder of Make the Difference Network http://www.mtdn.com “I've known the power of giving money to, in turn, receive more money for years and have used this principle to manifest abundance in my life. Give to Live not only gives practical and inspiring guidance on how to give and, thereby, receive more money; it provides profound and inspiring truths about giving our selves in service to others. After reading Give to Live , I was so inspired I am leading a trip to Tanzania, Africa this summer to build a birthing center there. If we all give what we have, it not only will be enough, it will reset our collective emotional compass and make us happy in the process. This joy attracts even more prosperity so we can give even more and the magnificent cycle of abundance continues. This is the message of Give to Live ."
