"[Russell Cartwright] Stroup was a man of rare courage and character. Few chaplains volunteered for and endured infantry training to put themselves in harm's way as he did repeatedly. Perhaps the highest complement I can offer is that Stroup was someone I very much would have liked to know." - Carlo D'Este, noted military historian, on Letters from the Pacific.

"Allan Austin and his wife brought a particular youthful curiosity and zeal to their experience in the Soviet Union. This is a compelling look at the hope for a 'better future' during the 1930's" - John J. Grabowski, Professor of History, Case Western Reserve University, on Building Utopia.

"The Austin family helped the Russians to have faith in their own ability to overcome problems." - Victor Reuther, United Auto Workers.

"Cranston Stroup was a gifted poet who wrote from 1925 to 1932. The most affecting aspect of Cranston's poetry is his creative use of floral imagery in natural, interpersonal, and spiritual settings.

"Jeff [Chapman-Crane] was entranced by Cranston's expressive spirit. His watercolors open another window to the beauty of Cranston's words." - from the introduction to Give God a Flower.
