Praise for Castaway Kid

Estuve en evento cumbre por niños marginados en Monterrey el día de ayer y miércoles,
hoy leí el libro de Dr. robb y estoy sin dejar de llorar realmente conmovida, pero sobre todo
con ojos abiertos en mi corazon por lo que es la orfandad, Sr. Robb y familia Dios le
bendiga inmensamente a Ud. Y su familia por compatir la vida de alguien que fue
abandonado, y por hacer sensible a la iglesia de la situación de los niños abandonados,
hoy quiero ayudar a casas hogares y poder tomar a uno de esos niños y darnos la
oportunidad de cambiar la vida de un ser tan bello.

Mr. Mitchell,
I had the privilege of meeting you and hearing you speak about a week ago at a Christian retail
event in Tennessee. Today I finished reading your book, and though I’m an avid reader
(particularly of biographies), I was blown away by your story! Thank you for being willing to
share it with us. I particularly thought the chapters on forgiveness will be helpful to many. I
cried with you and Susan when your beloved grandmother, Gigi, died. What a dear woman she
was! I’m so glad you found your home in a relationship with our Heavenly Father and that he
has given you your own sweet wife and family. I pray that God multiplies your ministry and His
kingdom through you. I plan on sharing your book with others.
Blessings,
Chris

Leí el Libro SOLO en enero de este año. Realmente impactó mi corazón y me
inspiró a seguir apoyando ministerialmente a la infancia dañada. Dios les
bendiga . Saludos desde Chile

Dear Mr Mitchell
I woke early yesterday morning,the eve of my 51st birthday.
Having recently divorced and now living in an apartment by myself I felt at my
lowest point ever.
Having previously rejected all attempts by people to interest me in God or
Jesus I prayed(for the first time) for some help.
at 7.00AM I went out for a walk to try to clear my head and as I was walking
along Baltimore Rd in Philly I noticed a book lying on the sidewalk!!!
Castaway Kid by R.B.Mitchell.
I read it from start to finish, I couldn’t put it down I was awake all night.
Thank you Mr Mitchell and thank you God.
I’m a different person today.

The book came to my hands through somre friends and help me to transmit the church
the importance on take care of the children, first as families and second as church.

I listened to your audio book while driving my truck. Over and over again I had
to pull over to the side of the road and weep. All of the issues of your life are the same as our children. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart for giving our kids a voice and authentic hope.

Thank you for your book in Spanish: Solo. Our gratitude towards you for being such a special and wonderful blessing to us.

I read a book and really liked it. I wounder if there is in Russian version of book. We also work
with children from orphanages in Kyrgyzstan and we would like to give children for the
motivation. The organization called Lighthouse Kyrgyzstan. Here is more information about
NGO mentorkg.org. Thank you!

I was listening to you on the radio this morning. I feel your story would give hope to so many of
the ladies that I see in Prison and County jail.
I can take DVDs and CDs into Greenville Federal Prison but only books into Madison County
Jail. If you happen to have anything that you feel we could use in this ministry. I would be so
grateful. (Or a discount?) Thank you and God bless you for using your life to help others. For
turning to God instead of the world. God bless you, Karen Schemerhorn (Bethel Baptist Church,
Troy, Illinois)

I was adopted from birth by very educated and well-to-do, well connected parents. I was the only
adopted sibling and I felt unwanted growing up. I was mistreated by my siblings and adopted
parents and it profoundly effected my self esteem. Even though I reached out for help and a local
pastor came to pay our family a visit, everyone pretended everything was okay and good, even
though it was not. Because of emotional/physical abuse and neglect, I ran away in my teens. I
carried my garbage (my word for baggage) into my adulthood. I am now in my mid 40's and have
had 4 failed marriages and the victim of a bigamist marriage. My parents and siblings don't speak
to me. I haven't seen my siblings in 20 years. I have been floating out there, and trying to survive.
My walk with Jesus Christ is the only safe haven I have. I have never heard of anyone having a
story that came close to mine until I have heard your story. I am a school teacher in the public
school system. Thank you for sharing, because it gives me hope.

Dear Mr. Mitchell–I wanted to thank you for sharing your story on Focus on the Family. I recently
became aquainted with a young man who had been raised in foster care, and I was always
wondering how I could show him a little of how much I cared about him. I was helping some
friends of my family bake for
farmers market, so I always made sure he got a cookie every
Friday when I made them. It didn't seem like much but after I
heard your story on the radio I realized that probably counted for more than I ever thought. My
heart just went out to him and my life will never be the same for having this experience. Thank
you again and God bless you richly.

We received your book and CDs. I played the testamonial for my inservice for the foster parents
at Commonwealth Catholic Charities. After watching the testimony with some of the parents I
came back to my office and picked up the book. Thank-you so much for sending it this way. Your
story was so very inspiring and I believe it will help so many young people. I read your book cover
to cover and couldn’t put it down. Thank you again!
