"Books that move beyond theory to life-application interest me.  That's why I find The 4 Seasons of Life a compelling read.  Mario Simoes moves beyond the classroom discussions of 'time management,' into the arena of how to not only define the 'season' of life you and I are experiencing, but how to live within that season a life "on purpose."
John D. Hull - President/CEO, EQUIP Leadership (John C. Maxwell, Founder)

“We live in a world where most people want quick fixes to deal with their pressures, pain and problems in life. I believe that the insights that Mario has shared in this book will give needed principals and guidelines to individuals, couples and families that will change their perspective toward themselves and others. The sooner we realize that God is leading us in the different seasons of our life, we will be able to better navigate through the obstacles that we face and turn them all into opportunities. Thanks Mario for sharing your journey in the Seasons of Life.”
Dwayne Betsill - MS Psychologist, Businessman

"When I began reading "The 4 Seasons of Life" in English, I was inspired to read more intensely.  I praise God for Mario Simoes to pen those thoughts the Lord had placed in his heart.  It is totally a new concept and approach. It is not just a book; it is a workbook which challenges you to introspect and write your personal journal. Mario has written this book in a lucid style with illustrations and anecdotes. It helps you to examine your own life and assesses the season that you are in. I recommend this book as a study material in your churches, Sunday school classes and small groups."

Haggai Institute for Advance Leadership Training

“Employing a familiar framework ("seasons") and easy and passionate prose, Mario Simoes invites us to consider the unique realities each of us must confront in negotiating life's rhythms and seasons.  Drawing on a lifetime of rich experience and biblical truth, readers are sure to be encouraged (as I was) by a work which is straightforward and practical yet honest and deeply insightful.”

“The 4 Seasons of Life" is a MUST read!  It does not matter where we geographically live, we all experience the changing of the seasons in our own lives.  This book will help you understand the "changes of the seasons" and that with God's love and hand in our lives, all things are possible. This book offers anyone the chance to learn how to love and forgive others, the same way we need to love and forgive ourselves.”

“The 4 Seasons of Life is wonderful! The book captures the essence of life though the eyes of one who has "been there and done that!" Recently my 15 year old son was wounded in a random shooting in a public place; an innocent bystander who's life was nearly ended by a senseless act of violence. While he survived the shooting, there is still much heartache and pain to endure. The 4 Seasons of Life has helped me to put these events into biblical perspective. This book is filled with scriptures that will speak to your heart and give you practical ideas to help you through the Season you are in. A quick, important, and practical devotion for our times!”
David Day - President – The Day Group

He’s not only a loving husband and father but also an investor to the new generation. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of the wisdom in this book and apply it to your life. It will help you prepare your steps and enhance your leadership skills. And yes, there is a leader in all of us.”
