"Seeing With The Heart is a beautiful journey in our relationship with a loving God. William has a wonderful way of exploring each celebration we embrace throughout the year bringing your heart back to the true meaning and reason we celebrate. Your lighthearted humor adds a smile to my face, for example “If candy were my only vice, I’d feel like a saint”, I chuckled as I can relate to your words. I have to say my favorite part of this amazing book is the chapter entitled “Seeing With The Heart”. “On ne voit bien qu’ avec le cour. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux” an amazingly beautiful quote that will now sit dear in my heart! There were so many more statements you made that will be dear to my heart as I bring them to life in my own journey. An amazing book and a must read!"

"Seeing With the Heart is a beautifully written masterpiece comprised of thoughts and poems that both inspire and capture the reader throughout the book's entirety. William Lacey's profound thoughts lead us into a more positive view of life, and a realistic way to change and better ourselves. Each chapter conveys the essence of how we, as humans, are able to experience faith... which will in turn accompany transformation. It is a MUST READ, and just when you think you've finished, William demonstrates yet another masterful way to express his teachings...through poetry. It is the perfect touch to a highly inspirational book. Lots of books are read once and put down never to be touched again. Seeing With the Heart is a source of inspiration that you will enjoy carrying with you... to reference, guide, and motivate yourself in any of life's situations. The book has an eloquent way of reminding us that we are not alone during these difficult times, and that change can always happen. I would recommend that everyone read this book, more than once! It is pleasurable, insightful, and delightful...you don't want to miss out!"

“What a great accomplishment. Bravo! A joy to read; the prose is rich and flows naturally, engages the reader immediately, and throughout. I very much like William’s approach to life and the grace and faith needed to navigate it. I also admire that William is a self-reflective soul. Not too many left in this world of ours! William’s work reminds me of the type of book I loved when I was younger (20’s), the kind of book that few take the time to write anymore and which thankfully William has! I will treasure this book!”

"Seeing With the Heart will console and inspire hope in anyone who has endured personal loss or physical hardships…William Lacey reminds us that we are not alone, not even in our darkest hours, and he leads us into the light of a beautiful new day of spiritual renewal."

"A very lovely and spiritual book which, among so much else, teaches us about the importance of strengthening our children’s inner beings. If we all really saw others with our hearts, we’d have a world without prejudice, hate and wars. We’d have more meaningful relationships and fewer divorces and broken families. Seeing With the Heart should be read by all parents and teens. This could well be one of the most important books your teenage son or daughter reads. Few books possess the power to inspire personal dignity, character and compassion the way this one does. It should be in every High School."
-Evelyn M., High School Social Worker, Kansas City, MO

"I never thought to be thankful for myself or for the God given gifts of my abilities and talents that I can share with others as gifts from myself. I especially loved the chapter, “In Thanks Giving for Who We Are”. Thank YOU, Mr.Lacey, for opening my eyes in such a beautiful and profound way."
- S.G., Boston, MA

"I keep a copy of Seeing With the Heart on my nightstand. It reminds me that I am not alone, and I read its inspiring and uplifting passages whenever I feel down or lonely. Your book is quickly becoming like a warm and dear friend to me. No more 'dark and lonely hours'. I can’t wait to read your next book."
- L. C., Concord, MA

“An insightful historian and spiritual teacher! I was also surprised and delighted by the section of poetry in the second part of the book titled, 'Verses on the Voyage of Faith'. Mr. Lacey’s prose offers an additional treasure of inspiration, consolation, and faith. His flowing verses made me feel that I could soar on the wings of angels and overcome the severest storms in life. There is truly something uplifting for everyone in this remarkable little book".

"Seeing With the Heart is a blessing to read and have. It will touch your heart and help you touch the hearts of others.
I love the way the book reminds me of where our true selves actually reside, and how, if we look in the right place and with our hearts, we can make deep and lasting connections with one another. I am inspired in knowing that we really can come to know and share true love and caring. I would also recommend this book as a good source for spiritual reading during the holiday seasons of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. It really brought their meanings alive for me and helped me to appreciate the gifts God has placed within me. Some of the poetry in the back of the book is like a peaceful prayer. There is much understanding and compassion in this book".

"In an age of superficial relationships and fleeting infatuations, Seeing With the Heart shines forth as a practical guide for learning how to truly see, appreciate, and love the inner beings of others. For that reason, this is also a must read for youngsters, as it fosters compassion and respect for others. Parents will want to read this book, too. It includes poignant words on the importance of meeting our children’s inner needs, so they are more likely to lead successful and happy lives. It's a wonderful companion book that's full of clarity, faith and compassion. There is something to enlighten everyone in William Lacey's marvelous work".
