“Can I be honest? I couldn’t put Julie’s story down. While enjoyable, beautiful, and compelling – it also took my breath away because it held all my fears. As her unexplainable Long Haul COVID symptoms seemed to unendingly stack one upon another, she didn’t give up but leaned in. She did what I hope I would do. She leaned on the cross of Christ and found God’s grace. And she leaned on the saints of old to borrow their truth for herself. Part history lesson, part unfiltered inspiration, and part wellplaced humor, Julie leads us through her valley and helps us see that the bright light of Jesus is always there. If you are facing uncertainty or fear or need a good reminder that no matter what comes your way, Jesus will be with you, and he is, indeed, enough – read Chronic Grace.”
– Jodie Niznik, author, Bible teacher, and host of the So Much More podcast

“In a world where we expect doctors to figure out and fix everything, Long- Haul COVID has stumped even the best of them. Long COVID means “fevers, malaise, racing heart, diarrhea, shortness of breath, cough” – and more. What’s it like for a woman, a mother, a wife, a career-woman to endure months of no diagnosis when she knows from bones to skin that something’s there? Chronic illness requires chronic grace to sustain the fragility of life in the whatever-it-takes quest for healing. Julie Rhodes’ soul-open memoir transcends the path of description, though myriads in the world with Long COVID need a companion like Chronic Grace. She transparently probes God, the Bible, her prayer life, and some of the greatest spiritual masters as she probes her own “quivery, shivery” heart and faith. What’s it like? Julie, in turning her transparent self toward our loving God, provides words for the journey and healing for the heart. Chronic Grace is a textbook of the journey of faith.”
- Rev. Canon Dr. Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament Northern Seminary
What People Are Saying

A novel is, by definition, “telling lies for fun and profit.” And this book is a lot of fun. But INVISIBLE TO VIRAL has a lot of truth in it, too. I can tell, just by reading, that Michael Stickler has poured a lot of his lifetime experiences into the story. Virtually every published author will warm to the “truth” vibe. It’s putting out vibrations of reality, like a relaxing back massager loosens tight muscles! Thanks, Michael, for this excellent story. Shouldn’t the reader get a PhD, or something?
- Terry Paulson
Who better can guide you through the ups and downs of publishing a book than a guy that has authored 20 books and created his own publishing company? On top of that he's a sought-after speaker on both, the national and international levels. That's Mike Stickler, and in his newest book, "Invisible to Viral," he delves into the world so many others are seeking to join - taking the wealth of knowledge, business and experience of a business man and thrusting him into the world of becoming an author. Writing a great book is more than putting knowledge onto paper, as Mike's newest book and lead character adeptly displays. This book may be the very thing that goes a long way in helping you become more than an author of a book- it may push the limits to becoming the author of a book that goes from "Invisible to Viral."

Mike Stickler's 'Invisible to Viral' is a game-changer for aspiring authors at any stage. Through John Larsen's compelling fictional journey, Mike masterfully illuminates the path from entrepreneurial success to literary acclaim. This book not only guides you through the intricacies of writing and publishing but also inspires you to persevere in the face of obstacles. Mike's expertise shines through, offering invaluable insights that extend beyond the page. For anyone with a story to tell or knowledge to share, 'Invisible to Viral' is your first step towards turning your invisible dream into a viral reality. It's more than a book—it's a roadmap to authorial success that I wish I'd had when I started my own writing journey.
- Gail Okuley
Prepare to embark on a transformative journey that holds the potential to turn your dream of writing a book into a reality! John Larsen’s captivating story, though a work of fiction, is not solely a product of author Michael Stickler’s imaginative narration. The profound insights Mike infuses into his character’s journey stem from decades of writing excellence, successful publishing, and invaluable entrepreneurial experience. After reading Invisible to Viral, I found myself wishing it had been available before I wrote my first book. The wisdom within these pages, offering a path to success and the opportunity to learn from the author’s experience, could have spared me from countless moments of confusion, indecision, and disappointment. I'm confident it will do so for you. As you near the end of this inspiring story, don’t overlook the invaluable advice in “A Note from the Author” and the “Epilogue.” These sections are not just there to conclude the book but contain critical insights to empower you with the tools you need to bring the book in your heart to life, potentially through a partnership with Leadership Books. I, for one, am deeply grateful I made the decision to engage in this relationship for my first book.
