    "very insightful" ~ Cliff Bellamy, Book & Entertainment Editor of The Herald Sun
    "Guns can end lives, but they can’t kill spirits. Now I find that a single bullet could not silence his voice." ~ H. Beverly Crawford of Los Angeles, CA
    "The book is exquisite...[t]he pieces are meaningful, in more ways than I would know.  There were three poems that especially touched me: Another Level, Eternal Passage, and I Wish I Were God." ~ Shelby Heard of Washington, DC
    "Every time I read III Gifts by Carey Hughley  I see several additional nuances that not only touch me in a profound way but also gain my respect all the more. Books can be good friends as they are extensions of the author. That's why I'm introducing anybody reading my blogs to this one." ~Robeson White, Co-Founder, Diversity in Aquatics
    "I am persuaded that Carey’s III Gifts will be as powerful in the distant future as it is in 2011...its essence comes through best when read at quiet times and the soul can better attune to its inherent beauty, spirituality and the challenges it poses all of us." ~  Walter Brown of Durham, NC
