Not sure what to say?

Max was the most influential person I have ever met in my life. His books broke through a huge barrier to understanding the purpose of everything. No one else in this church ever spent the hours he spent freely with me trying to help me understand.

His books are some of my greatest treasures.

Blessings hitherto unknown

Max, working with you in "Introspect" and printing your books was a great honor for me. As a mentor daily your words ring through me with the greatest truths ever told
"There is no substitute for making up the mind"
Today I shared your messages with a new friend who is living in "Pleasantville" discovering that under the black and white their lies the most beautiful of discoveries, when we come to know "the Christ" is us!

Because of You....and the Greatness of Love which you have shared with us...

We've a story to tell to the nations,
that shall turn their hearts to the right,
a story of truth and mercy,
a story of peace and light,
a story of peace and light.
Refrain:
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
and the dawning to noonday bright;
and Christ's great kingdom shall come on earth,
the kingdom of love and light.

This is...

Thanks Max for being so honest and bringing such happiness and light into my life. You have given me hope and inspiration to seek Jesus in all things. God bless your family and readers. LUV you.

Max,
Thank you for teaching us about ourselves and healing us of our "emotional baggage" we have carried with us all of our lives. You were and are still a very special child of God. We also appreciated your love and sacrifice that weekend. We know you'll continue this mission in the after life. Thank you again.
Love,
Brian &Victoria D.

Dear Max,
You have been a beacon of light to me for the past two years. After meeting you in person for the first time I had an even deeper appreciation of you, your wisdom and your love. I'm thankful to God that I had that blessing of hangin out with you a week before your passing. Thanx for sticking around for that.
Love,
Brian Dzuban

I was pleased with the insight Max had into the Gospel as well as the lives of those he taught. I was fortunate to attend a class he taught in Las Vegas. He helped me greatly. My wife and I will never forget him. Susie and Sandy Cocks

We loved his enthusiasm! He will be missed.

To the family and friends of Max,

I extend to you my sincere sympathies, and I pray for God's comfort, peace, and strength during this difficult transition in your lives. I always appreciated Max's smile, kindness, and great attitude toward life; and I will miss him too.
