"Thea M. Kellogg is herself the guide that brings the darkness of depression into light. Kellogg's courage and determination permeate her journal notes and offer insights into ways of finding love in one's self in the radiance of significant others, while facing and coping with the terrors of betrayal, fear, and anger."
- Clark Moustakas, Ph.D., Center for Humanistic Studies.
"Thea's book talks about the reality of depression, and how one person was helped to heal herself. If you or a loved one has this terrible disease, get professional help. It is readily available. The chance of success is high. Thea's story is inspirational."
- Phil Schaff
"This is an intriguing story. Many have found themselves on these pages and have sought help.
If someone you know suffers from depression and won't talk about it, buy this book, and leave it in a gentle spot for them to pick up and discover on their own."
- Cheryl C. Cigan, Known Publishing
"You've touched many tender spots in your story. I saw myself and my emotions a lot in your gift of putting your pen to paper. You didn't spend time looking for gifted words, you wrote from your heart and pain."
- D. L.
"I just finished reading Visions of Sunsets. I am overwhelmed! I felt your pain - and cried; I experienced your anger - and cried; I rejoiced in your healing - and cried. This book must be published! It's compelling and powerful."
- D.
Thanks for sharing your life in your book and your willingness to use those life-experiences to help others. I believe the only way of effectively understanding another's feelings is to have lived what he or she has lived."
- E. M.
"Thanks so much for sharing Visions of Sunsets. I read it last night. Your honesty, determination, and courage come shining through - I admire your strength. Your openness and insights will open the door for many others. You're a remarkable lady!"
- S.R.
"I wish people understood the connection between depression and anger; that they are two sides of the same coin. To say "Why do I feel so bad?" is to kick yourself, to say "What am I angry about?" is empowering. I couldn't believe it - we seemed to be having the same dreams! Then I realized it wasn't that the details were the same, but the language was - a mythical language of symbols that we speak within ourselves as we try to unravel a problem."
- Laurie C.
"Your book shows your strength and determination to control and combat your depression periods - before, now and those possibly yet to come. This should be an inspiration to others."
- M.R.W.
"I appreciate your compassionate honesty and helpful ways; how you've written this book! It's unique and I like the Dream, Thought, Memory, Letter, etc. sequencing. I like that! Yes! God has sparked a flame within you to help others."
- V.W.
"Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Just finished reading - WOW! How beautiful a journal is as it surely helped you put your emotions (good and God) on paper. It also will help others in being aware of situations in their own life."
- E.M.
"Your journal flows so that we can see the healing taking place. You are at the point where you can identify what's going on. If you can identify your depression - always deal with it."
- M.
"I really enjoyed reading your book! I can see a lot of myself in this book, as I have had the same feelings and have felt the same way about life before. Because you have opened up and shared all of this with whomever reads your book, you are helping us (at least me) begin to open ourselves up as well."
