EARLY ACCLAIM FOR RETURN TO FOREVER 




“Without reliance on secret religious organizations or Da Vinci codes, Return to Forever conveys the simple story of the universality of God’s love for all people, and truly presents Heaven as an attainable new beginning for even the least of us all. Mark Salvatore Pitifer’s adaptation of earthly tribulations, overlaid with God’s grace, transforms perceptions of Heaven being only for saints to a reality for everyday people seemingly trapped by the harsh realities of this world. While we live, there is hope. Return to Forever gives us that hope and, in so doing, perhaps a last chance at redemption and salvation.”
-Dr. Tyrone Scott, LICSW 



“I can’t thank you enough for writing this book. It continues to alter my perception in such a broad way. I needed this information in the way that our earth needs the sun & water. I was starving and I now feel nourished! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
-JOLENE & BELLA STAMP



“The author’s very descriptive portrayal of the “afterlife” gives those of us with solid faith in the existence of God, the reassurance of a glorious eternity. However, as importantly, the novel provides for those struggling with their faith, a way to help, “read God’s mind.” It puts into words a prescription to live one’s life, thus securing the glories of an unimaginable Heaven, which the author believes can await us all!”
-DR. STANTON TEPFER



“Return to Forever points out the beauty that is inherent in all peoples and all religions. It illuminates God’s most basic and important message carried to us by Moses, Mohammad, Krishna, Buddha, all the great prophets & holy messengers, and through Jesus Christ which is simply BE KIND. Follow a path of goodness and gentleness, and try your best not to hurt others in any way. When we reach Forever we will find that it was always more important that we did what was right, than that we were right!” 
-MARY BAKOGIANNIS



“Nino Jones, an elderly homeless man in New York City of the near future, is initiated into God-centered explanations of the cosmos and the meaning of life in a series of discussions with such figures as Pontius Pilate and Malcolm X. Jones is joined by the author himself in the construction of their all-encompassing Narrative, which comes to a climactic ending weaving all the book’s themes ingeniously together. Jones is an Everyman for Christian America, and Mark Pitifer is his chronicler.”
-MARVIN BRAM, Ph.D.



“The time and effort that was put into this book was worth every word. Once you pick it up to read, you don’t want to put it down. I wish this book was around while I was growing up. But, I’m glad its here now. This book can touch every soul, and help to bring love, peace, and harmony throughout the world.” 
-ANN MARIE PITIFER



“In Return To Forever Mark Salvatore Pitifer brings together scientific facts and Biblical truths, with a touch of fantasy to tell the World a beautiful story of hope, faith, and the love and power of one God, and all of his children. Mark answers the question W.W.J.W. (What would Jesus want?) To find your way to the P.O.J. (Path of Jesus) of course. Then you’ll know that you will live on “Forever, in Forever!”…….
-SALLY ANN FRATTO



“Once you’ve read Return To Forever you’ll wish you could return to it over and over again. It’s like a visit with a good old friend that you wish didn’t have to end. It educates, enlightens, instills hope and reinforces ones faith in humanity. It will move you to tears, make you laugh out loud and compel you to share it with everyone you know. It will frighten and comfort you all at once and it will change the way you look at everything and everyone. Return To Forever is a journey you will never forget.”
-SHARI LYNN MINETTI



“God creates a simple yet profound act of love which is intended to draw (“traxit”) all creation back to the Creator along the Path of Jesus. Creatures for their part can shroud this path in mystery, or they can clarify this path in simplicity. Mark Salvatore Pitifer has accomplished the latter through the pilgrimage genre. Travel with Mark and Nino, meet some impact players in the “game of life,” adjust your perspective to positive, and Return To Forever.”
-FATHER MACK SPELLECY



“When I got finished reading Return To Forever I went to church for the first time in 10 years, and I’ve been going ever since. Thanks a lot Pitt.”
-KEVIN KORZENIEWSKI 



“In his book Return To Forever, Mark Salvatore Pitifer has beautifully expressed what we in our hearts know to be true. That it does not matter by what name we call him, there is only one God.” 
-SHARON ZIMMERMAN & (JOHNNY Z)



“Mark Pitifer and his "unexpected prophet of faith, Nino Jones" accomplished what very few have, a way to bring all religions together while still showing the importance of believing in one another. Pitifer does the unimaginable, reminding us that faith is about believing even when the odds are against us. He also shows us that forever is not just a lifetime...but an eternity.’
-MATTHEW ALLEN  BLUE



“Reading Return to Forever provided me with not only a gratifying literary experience, but a true spiritual experience as well. Pitt crafts his characters and situations with care and creativity to deliver a compelling and delightful storyline. Through this story of Nino and Mark, Pitt shares with us his alluring insight on the beautiful Kingdom of Forever, the love and omnipotence of God, and what it means to walk the Path of Jesus. 
-Dr.Ryan Graham 



“Return To Forever is the most inspiring book that I have ever read. The research and the knowledge that you put into this book is just phenomenal, and I really found myself looking at my faith in a whole new perspective. I just can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. When I read about all of the different people that you met throughout your journey, I couldn’t help but wonder and believe that maybe you really are a messenger from God. I love you honey. I laughed and I cried throughout the whole book. You really got to me buddy. I called your mother right after I finished and told her how much your book affected me. I felt that sadness that you felt about yourself, and that need to find yourself, and I’m so glad you did. Mark I just love you and I’m so proud to be one of the first people to read your book. It’s just beautiful, and I will pass it on to everyone I know. I love you Mark. God Bless you.”
-ROSE BRUNO FELICE (The phone message that I will never erase!)

“Knoweth thou this, O Prince, that when ever the world declineth in virtue and righteousness; and vice and injustice mount the throne---then cometh I, the Lord, and revisit my world in visible form, and mingleth as a man with men, and by my influence and teachings do I destroy evil and injustice, and reestablish virtue and righteousness. Many art the times that I have thus appeared---many art the times hereafter when I shall come again.” - KRISHNA/THE BHAGAVAD GITA
