The following are testimonies, emails and letters that have been sent to Rev. Leo. We also will post upcoming events and other tidbits of information here from the office on this page.

From Rev. Leo:

Please feel free to let me know a funny story, something you've learned recently or how I may have helped you in anyway and we will post them accordingly. We look forward to getting more feedback from you!

This is from the Message Board here on Rev Leo's website:

I just want to take on moment to say thank you Rev Leo for doing such a wonderful trip such to India! India was an incredible experience for me and it has changed my life! Learned much, have a deeper understanding on Hinduism and next time I'd wear light weight blouses cotton skirts but overall, it was a wonderful! Rev. Leo, I hope that you plan to expand the trips not shrink them in the future, I want to see more and I hope to go on another one of your journeys to a foreign land. May God bless you! -'K'-

Father Leo - I was planning on joining you for incredible Retreat you had planned for Mexico but now I see thta you have cancelled it. I'm sorry to hear that. However, I would love to see Egypt, I've always wanted to and if you go - count me in!!!

Hello, my name is Randy. I was blessed to have met Reverend Leo Booth approx. three years ago. I was very impressed with many aspects of his lecture. Unfortunately due to a couple of deaths in the family and other circustnaces I have not kept up with his missions. I had retired from substance abuse counseling almost two years ago because the majoirty of the management that I worked for at the time was too busy with gossip, arguing with each other, etc and not focusing on our addicted clients needs. I have recently been asked by Pators, church members and community members to return to the counseling field because our Country is in the grips of a massive surge of Meth usage. My past experience with counseling was unfortunately within the State guidelines and I was unable to speak about God, Jesus or use the Bible for my clients recovery foundation. I am now starting the journey of individual and group counseling on my own, or I should say "with Gods help". I am asking for your prayers in this mission. Thank you, and I hope to hear from others with their suggestions that may helo me with my endeavor. Who knows,maybe I'll get the opportunity to hear from Reverend Leo Booth himself.

Dear Randy,

Good to see your message on the Message Board! It's nice too see all the goods things that are happening. I wish you well in your work with addicts, especially as you work with Pastors in your area. You are on a good path! Keep up the good work!!!! -Rev Leo-

And now here is an email we received from a church in Hollywood, FL:

Dear Rev Leo,

You recently spoke here at our church a couple of Sundays ago and I wanted to say thank you. Even though I am not in recovery I really "got your message" about spirituality vs. religion. There truly is a difference. I do hope that you will come back soon. All the best!

Sincerely, Susanne

From Texas:

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the education that you gave here in Austin, Texas several years ago to the alcohol and drug Counselors. I am 27 years clean and sober and you have always been an inspiration to me in the spiritual realm. Thank you for the contribution you made to the recovering communtiy.

Your friend, Gary

Jennifer from The Ranch. I just thought I'd give you something to read incase you missed it -

I am so delighted to contribute to Reverend Leo's wonderful newsletter; he is such a marvelous chap after all. I have met him and attended several of his workshops here at The Ranch, and the clients (as well as me) just adore him. I am excited to have this opportunity to talk about The Ranch. Both as an Alumni of the program as well as current staff, I have been blessed to partake in all the wonderful aspects offered here. Sitting on 2200 acres of breathtaking scenery, just being on the land brings such peace and serenity to all who walk it. The modality is one that looks at all aspects of self...mind, body and spirit. Providing and emphasis on a strong spiritual foundation coupling with acute therapeutic process, the effect is deep. Here a few things you may expect while here at The Ranch: Native American Sweat Lodges, Equine Therapy, horseback riding Adventure Therapy, Interplay, canoeing down the spring fed Piney River and yoga. The grounds have a labyrinth, medicine wheel and a beautiful 12 Step Serenity Trail. There are outside 12 Step Meetings as well as Bonfire Meetings on site. I could obviously take up much more space talking about this wonderful place; not only did it save my life but I have witnessed that it has given a new breath of hope to many other lives as well. I haven't been around here for 5 years for no reason! We would love to hear from you and tell you more. If you would like to contact us please call (800)849-5969 or visit us on the internet at www.recoveryranch.com Jennifer Menks

Dear Rev Leo

Thank you so much for coming to our church here in Pensacola, Florida. You truly are inspiring and all of us in recovery appreciate your words of wisdom. You mentioned to all of us about your spiritual journey to Vietnam this year. I was looking forward in joining you this year but unfortunately I can't make it. My question is will you be taking another trip next year? I would love to have the opportunity to explore another country and have you as our guide. It truly would be an adventure! Sincerely, KLP

If KLP reads this he or she will notice on the front page of Rev Leo's website there is info on his Spiritual Journey to Inida this year. If you have any question give us a call her at the office and we can tell you more about it!

Rev. Leo has been presenting workshops at Casa De Las Amigas for a couple of months now. I thought I share a few of the emails we've received from some of the women there:

"I wanted to thank you for coming to our facility (Casa). You gave us some great information. I liked it when we all we're sitting in a circle beacuse it was easier to communicate. I did learn alot from your visit however with all this heat we've been having it made it kinda hard to think. Thanks Rev. Leo for coming to Casa". -Anonymous-

I love her honesty there talking about the heat! Ok, so here's another one:

"I really enjoyed hearing you Reverend Leo. You are an interesting speaker. You speak clearly where I can understand. I like how you took some time to speak to each of us here. I learned alot in this class and I am thinking more positive about myself with a different attitude. You gave me some insights in helping me with my domestic violence issues and you made it so easy to understand. I look forward in seeing you soon." -Anonymous-

Spring is upon us and here is a recent testimony that was sent to Rev. Leo.

I was at the Ranch back in April of 2005 where Father Leo came to speak. I read a passge for him and he dubbed me "Jeff the Reader. I'm not sure if will remember me or not but he truly touched me with his message. I am taking my addiction day by day with mixed sucess, but when I am having a bad day I always think back to the days at the Ranch. May God Bless you Father Leo and your message. (name withheld)

Hello! It's Michael here-

I came a cross this the other day and I thought it was kinda cool-

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind" - William James

Here was an email sent to Rev. Leo last week-

I have been receiving your newsletters for some time now. It is always a pleasure to read what you are doing Father Leo! I wanted to let you know I appreciate what you are doing. You've shown me once again how to appreciate the little things in life. Thank you so much! Much love to you and your staff there at Spiritual Concepts.

Sincerely, (name withheld) from Florida

Here is a testimonial we've received recently:

I recently got the opportunity to be a spiritual guide for my granddaughter. She attends a religious learning class and recently gave me a cross with the Beatitudes on it that she made. I was to wear it for 48 hours to work to remind me what God has meant in my life. I work at a Hospital and that cross impacted so many people's lives. I have been promoting her spiritual self since she was a small child and when this project came up she immediately thought of me. I love reading your daily meditation books and they help me to pass on the message even to my 9 year old. She and I are spiritual buddies and that more important than any other type of relationship. With Spirituality comes deep love. Love for God, another human being and self. I have been on 2 of your spiritual retreats and always came away with such a whole spiritual feeling. I would recommend to anyone seeking spiritual learning and feeling to attend one of your glorious retreats and get revived!

Best wishes, (name withheld)
