"...this book deserves to sit on the shelf next to the Bible...Shirley has all of the properties, emotions, logic and spiritual being that (Jehovah) was hoping to instill in each one of us.
Shirley may be in a wheelchair, but has walked the universe. She may be blind but see's the true color and beauty in the world, the people and in life. Shirley has found a way in her writing, to open our eyes to the world around us, the blessings bestowed upon us, the path to follow and the life that is yet to come." -Jan Hayner, Professional Organizer, Motivational Speaker and Personal Coach, www.OrganizingAndCleaning.com

"(Shirley) could preach a sermon with the best of the 18th century preachers." -Laura Evans, United Methodist Church Pastor's Wife, Certified Instructor Journal to the Self®, www.JournalJoy.com (site up in September)
~*~
(Shirley's) ability to express her feelings, knowledge, and passion come through so clear in her writing--it is obvious she was born to teach and change people's lives.
Her grassroots story telling make this book an excellent read for individuals who haven't made the time to read the Bible. She has clear and concise ability to pin-point the most meaningful and beneficial points to live by through the word of God.
Shirley's courage is contagious and I am envious of her passion and simplicity to explain her thoughts of faith in such a crisp and knowledgeable fashion. Shirley is a true leader where so many individuals fear to walk; a courageous teacher, her wisdom is fraught with urgency to reach others and spread her given talent. Where people lack to express their true feelings of God; Shirley's courageous soul is free to articulate her acknowledged belief system without judgment. I honor her experience of the Bible and respect her aptitude to express her commitment to God.
This book would benefit anyone who has feelings of loss, loneliness, anger, selfishness, and low self worth.
Great for children to learn the foundation their life was built upon." -Trish Lay, Life Coach, Speaker, Founder of Souls At Play Productions, www.SoulsAtPlayProductions.com

"Jehovah is not about a new shiny car or winning a political election, Jehovah is about eternal love and goodness for all. He wants nothing more for this world that He created than a spiritual balance and harmony.
Shirley Cheng's hopes are in passing to her readers an insight to a deeper knowledge of God's Word and Plan and also just maybe answer questions we all have pondered such as these:
• Have you ever wandered about the bible and its meaning?
• Why should I follow Jehovah's guidance and not some other religion?
• Who is really Jesus and what is his purpose?
• If Jesus already died for us, then why are we still being told we have a judgment day?
• Do you think we are predestined?
• Do you value your gift as it was meant to be valued?
• Is there really a hell or a devil?
• Who is Satan and his fallen angels?
• What is the meaning behind the 10 Commandments?
• Why is there so much suffering allowed in this world?"

"Shirley Cheng's book is elegantly written. With simplicity and competence she answers the most important questions every human being sooner or later asks him/herself. Her faith in God, who she teaches us to call Jehovah, and her deep knowledge of the Bible, guides her pen and offers explanations to colossal mysteries such as the purpose of life, the place of worry, the value of success, the meaning of death, what is destiny. But most of all, I would recommend this reading, because of the joy of life and the gratitude she transfused in the book. At times, I felt the need to kneel in front of such total deep happiness, coming from a person that knows suffering very well. Now, in times of crisis, we only hear lamentations. Read this book and you will learn how to thank God for every breath we take each day." -Maria Caterina Capurro, Life, Business & Sports NLPTM Coach, Italy, www.CoachingServices.it

The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine
A Young Woman's Autobiography of 20-Year Victories over Victimization
The new edition of Shirley's autobiography with a whole new look!
An empowering autobiography to bring humor, hope, and healing
Do you know someone suffering from a disability of unhappiness?
Are you yourself a victim of a painful life?
Do you feel hopeless, depressed, and empty at times due to procrastination and lack of motivation to perform certain tasks even though you desire to do so?
Want to live positively and passionately and live a life with happiness rather than accepting mediocrity?
Experience the hardships endured, the obstacles overcome, and the exquisite happiness won as Shirley reveals her endless shine.
The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine unveils the gripping true life story of child prodigy Shirley Cheng--a blind and physically disabled victim and survivor of severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis but more so of falsehoods in American medical system--and her loving mother Juliet Cheng.
From Juliet's victory over injustice in her 1990 internationally reported custody case with a doctor over treatment disputes, to the elation of Shirley's various academic and personal achievements, this autobiography will empower readers with life's true values and meanings.
"Shirley is more than a survivor, Shirley is a force of empowerment. Blessed with an optimistic positive attitude despite the hardships in her life, she always, always, always, looks on the bright side of every situation. Whenever I have a conversation with Shirley, I am uplifted and rejuvenated. Talking with Shirley is like taking a mini-vacation.
"In this new edition of her autobiography, you'll read about the triumph over tragedies as a child prodigy is born. You'll also be treated to photos and childhood drawings of this young lady with an endless shine. You'll learn how this juvenile with little formal education could score an exceptional 3280 on her GED test while doing all the math, calculations, chemistry, graphs and essays in her head without the use of Braille!" wrote Cynthia Brian in the foreword.
"The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine truly lives up to its title." -Rebecca Henderson, AllBooks Reviews
"The Revelation of a Stars Endless Shine is a true story about a Mother and daughters struggle to survive the daughters health problems which consisted of severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, blindness not forgetting to mention pure neglect and ignorance of the medical world. This story will take its readers into a world that neither mother nor daughter was prepared for; it was a world of frustration, pain, false accusations, misleading information from medical experts, and possibly the worst experiences of loss that a mother and daughter would ever have to deal with.
"The revelation of a Star's Endless Shine is a work of art. Shirley Cheng’s writing is absolutely flawless and her ability to bring her reader into the heart of not only herself but also her mother through her words is truly amazing and magical.
"While reading this book, be prepared to feel every emotion capable to a human being such as: pain, frustration, fear, horror, love, happiness, determination, commitment, passion, and best of all, winning. This book will teach you the meaning of dedication and pure love of a mother for her daughter. It will also teach you about perseverance and strength to never give up in life." -Dorothy Lafrinere, WomensSelfEsteem.com
"Shirley's unique way of writing further provides readers with a window to her intelligence, insight, and nature. Her matter-of-fact, original style and ability to prove a point is powerful.
"A disturbing, and enlightening read. Authentic, honest, and profound. Will change reader's outlook." -Christina Francine, Midwest Book Review
"This heartwarming story is one you'll want to read." -Andrea Sisco, Armchair Interviews
"The book is written in a lucid, vivid and flowing style and is easy to read. It may take the reader a few days to read through because of the number of pages. But it is certainly not boring and the author holds the reader's attention all through." -Swamy Swarna, India, Book Pleasures, Scientist
"...the tale of a sensitive, intelligent, and observant girl who happens to be painfully disabled; she suffers enormously but has the extraordinary gift of a mother who is sold out for her well-being, hook, line and sinker...Juliet Cheng's gift of love to her daughter is something that many able-bodied people never get. She is the epitome of the selfless mother/caretaker extraordinaire, shining the light on the lives of quiet, exhausting devotion that mothers like her live daily.
"If you are interested in a story of hardship and happiness, of personal triumph against horrendous disadvantages, of the experience of being female, Chinese, disabled and blind and yet achieving your dreams in an adopted country—then read this book. The level of success that Shirley achieves is remarkable and inspiring—no less than her achievement in writing this book. Her work and courage alone get five stars in my book." -Linore R. Burkard, author
"Shirley and her tirelessly compassionate mother Juliet Cheng have been miracle workers, and one cannot help but think that has been their calling." -Malcolm R. Campbell, Author of The Sun Singer, Campbell Editorial Services
