I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how grateful I am that our paths have crossed. Alot of people use FB for the wrong reasons. I do my best to use it to minister to others and YOU Sir have done that for me. I thank God for using you to guide, encourage, enlighten, and even school me  during this season of my life. I pray that the next relationship I am in will not only be His will but I will be better because of the information I have received and applies to my life. Thank you for sharing your gift with others. Blessings!!!

"I received your email via facebook and took the opportunity to review your website. God has obviously enabled you to go through somethings to build a character in you that perhaps is bigger than you ever could have dreamed or imagined. As he formed and shaped you into a vessel that he could use, your true gifts have been activated by your willingness to serve and help others. 

It is amazing how in the beginning God created Adam and Eve - the first relationship. Yet, today relationships are such a mess. What happened to the peace, love and joy? Unfortunately, the serpent has made his mark. 

As I continue to develop myself and help others a long the way, I definitely would like to read an excerpt from your book. I believe your book maybe a tool in which I will benefit and definitely one that I could share with others. Thank you for the connection." -- Alicia

Oh. My. god! I'm listening to you on the Dr. Wendy show and I.AM LOVING IT!! What it seems to boil down to is working on, focusing on, dealing with "YOU"! What I appreciate most about you though is how you deal with "religion" and relationships. LOVE IT! Bravo Doc! 

WOW, loved this message and soooo true. You inspire me Dr. Ivan and I'm sure you may not hear it as often as you should, be behind the silence of many who read your posts, you do lift me up and open my eyes on many occasions with your posts. You are blessed with a wonderful Gift, keep using it! You are acknowledge and admired by many....♥

Annie Perdomo

I received my book yesterday. Thank you so much for signing it with such beautiful words!
I was thumbing through the book, and landed on chapter 8. I guess that's where God wanted me to start! The message in that chapter was very informative.... I actually recapped the chapter in my mind as I was ironing my clothes for work. Gotta always look my best!!
Thanks again...I look forward to the next chapter that reveals itself!
Have a wonderful day!
Peace! -Kelly
