Advance praise for ( fail not )

“( fail not ) is a collection of spiritually enriching and inspiring reflections. Younger readers will feel empowered to value their own dreams and experiences while simultaneously being encouraged to cope with life’s many challenges. These condensed thoughts contain timeless truths that the modern reader will find contemplative yet practical. I highly recommend this thought-provoking book of wisdom for every person who desires to experience personal growth and positive transformation.”Troy Bruner

“We can all recall our first moments of adrenaline-fueled adolescence when we suddenly found ourselves at the precipice of adulthood, eyes wide in wonder at the vast valleys and summits before us. It is an exhilarating, overwhelming time, but it can be dangerous, too: the impact of an unsupportive word from inside or outside of ourselves can knock us off balance—and, tragically, for some, over that edge.
      “The most fortunate of us are visited by those who have learned to soar with grace above the terrain, and who generously choose to show us how to fly. Their words of wisdom are a lifetime gift of wings bestowed on all too few. Alan Lohner is that kind of flier, and his words are that kind of gift.”Laurie Daven
