"Great book, easy to read with lots of humour and sensitivity. An absolute must-read."
Dr Nardina Alongi

"I didn't believe in God, but after reading this book I went to the mountains for three days and thought about it. I am now open to God in my heart - thanks to Hans and his wonderful story."
Irena Miller

"It's nice to have a dream, but it's even nicer to pursue it. Whenever I read how much he loved flying, I had tears in my eyes. Even though he had no money, even though it wasn't easy, he was never afraid to keep going. He chose family and gave up flying - but that very decision made him even more perfect, because he is a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Hans, you were right!"
