Customer Reviews

Great concept with a great message!

Jeff's book is a revelation of surprises! The narrator, Michael, contains and pushes the thread of the story by driving responsibility, accountibilty, and actions as the perfection of love, faith, and hope. There is a freedom in this story that sends the message of hope during times of great distress and tragedy. It is a wonderful example of how coincidence is not coincidence and how every action or inaction is part of a well-conceived plan. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is coping with how the world has changed since 9/11. Great job, Jeff! I look forward to your next one!

"343 Brothers Lost"

Mr. Jeff Travis has put together a modern day masterpiece in this book. Words simply can't describe how I was able to connect with this book. I picked it up as soon as I got it and read it from cover to cover. (Just so you know, I've never done that before). A Christian, a Professional Firefighter, and big hearted person, I can't help but believe that their is very little fiction in this book. This book was clearly written from a man that was very in tune with God and with his heart. I know Mr. Travis has impacted "My Life" in a positive way. This story was a very respectful way to remember the loss we had on that terrible day and to have Love, Hope, & Faith with Love being the Greatest. God Bless You Jeff! - Scott Eric Smith

Be the change you wish to see in the world......

It is easy to understand from his book that Jeff Travis understands this concept. And, I think he would he appreciate that it was Ghandi who said those inspiring words. (Because it's not about who a man follows, as much as it is about who a man is willing to become.) This thought-provoking and heartwarming book tells it like it is: A wise person doesn't just talk about doing the things that matter the most - such as caring for his family -a wise person uses every moment he is given to DO the things that matter the most. Additionally, a wise person knows what those things are and never forgets them no matter how distressing or extraordinary the circumstance in which he finds himself - like the main character in this book. If you are looking for a feel-good story with some real meat and substance to it, you won't be dissapointed here. I am recommending it to all my friends and family for the Holiday season. It's bound to spread the love and goodwill I feel for them.

Very Intriguing

This book keeps you intrigued through the whole thing. Your never really sure where the story is going next, but each page makes you want to read another and each chapter enlightens you just a little more. This book can help you see there is a God looking out for us at all times. Looking forward to reading the next 2 books. Thanks Jeff.

The Convention by Jeff T. Travis

As an avid reader I have read good, Ok, bad, and books that were so bad I didn't even finish. "The Convention" by Jeff T. Travis falls into the excellent book catagory. This book was so well written that you will feel the emotions of the characters. I couldn't put it down until I had finished reading and didn't even notice the passage of time. can't wait for the next one to come out.
