| "Even though Leaves of Elvis' Garden is filled with memories, there is an immediacy to them as though you are watching, instead of reading, the first reality book show. The third wall is down and when you're not riding up front with Elvis in the van, having this amazing conversation, you're in the den with Elvis behind closed doors. Elvis is palpable. Geller's beautifully written, soulful and intimate journey through life is filled with heapings of poignant and sage philosophy that is share-worthy."
----- “From Larry Geller's vivid recollections of Elvis's passionate quest for the truth, to the photographs of spiritual writings with Presley's handwritten notations, this is one fascinating book. Required reading for anyone who cares about the man behind the myth.”
----- "I loved this book. While I have read dozens of books about Elvis (and even written one myself), met many of the "Memphis Mafia," and even been to the super-duper top secret Graceland archives – one hint, it is not on the property at Graceland… Larry's book really brought Elvis to life for me. As a friend and trusted confidante, Larry shows us both Elvis' extraordinary talent and also his rarely seen human side. "A book to be treasured. I am giving it to all my friends." ---- “This book is one of the most touching and tender and poignant stories of an extraordinary friendship and sharing of a spiritual quest between two men that I can ever imagine existing. Your book is written so well with so much love and caring. I will never see Elvis Presley in the same way again after reading this book. "The aphorisms and spiritual quotes from the many great souls in the book also add a profound dimension of beauty and wisdom.”
---- "The most important book yet written on the sensitive, spiritual man behind the myth. It is the inspiring story of Elvis Presley's greatest adventure--his quest for Self-realization."
---- "Larry Geller's Leaves of Elvis' Garden is by far the best book I have ever read about Elvis. It is emotional, revealing and spiritual, and offers the most amazing insight into the King. I highly recommend this sensitive book." ----- "A heartfelt thanks goes to you, Larry, for giving us all such a wonderful gift. As I read your book, I could hear your voice...I could feel the love and respect you had for him. Your book is so profound.....a flood of memories came back to me and I relived the days we were blessed to still have Elvis with us. There are no coincidences. I feel God brought you onto Elvis' spiritual path at just the right time. Thanks for letting us all tag along on that profound journey you made, and experience the Leaves of Elvis' Garden. The words just flowed like the lyrics of a beautiful song."
----- "What a powerful and thoughtful memory you have shared about your friend. Yours is the first book on Elvis I have ever read that dissects the legend and shows the reader who this person truly was. "Your work takes the legend to show the man, rather than taking the man to create the legend."
----- “I am speechless. I did know that Elvis was soul-searching, of course, and quite spiritual. I did not know he was a healer. “Larry, you were truly a gift to Elvis and I do hope that everyone who reads the book appreciates with sincerest gratitude that you were a special part of Elvis' life enough to have been able to both benefit his soul searching needs and extend his life for longer than the years he had left. It would seem that the two of you had a special mission in life and so were brought together to help one another learn and teach. I expected a wonderful book, but not quite so powerful and deeply moving as it turned out to be. Very emotional. “I want to say, also, that your admission to having styled Elvis' hair that one last time in 1977, and your heart-wrenching description of that tense situation, should be testimony enough to end the myths that Elvis is still alive. Ironically, on this the 30th year of Elvis' death, your book is a statement beyond all others, to attest to the fact that Elvis is, indeed, gone. “Again, many thank you's, Larry, for sharing your sentimental journey with all of us. …here is hoping that your book will do well to bring many, through Elvis, back to God.”
------- "This is no ordinary Elvis book. "You are a man who speaks the truth; and are yet so sensitive and responsible to the reputation of a man who has touched millions, that you have sequestered much of the story, in hopes that it might be released in time. "Just as The Impersonal Life is a small book, with a large message. . . so fitting it is, that your book Leaves of Elvis' Garden too is a small but definitive porthole to the real story. . . as you said: "What you hold in your hands is not a conventional Elvis book, another version of the story that's been told and retold. This book looks into the nucleus, the very essence of the man; it's the unexplored dimension of his life, a story so dramatically different from any other. "Thank you for this book Larry. I will always treasure it. " ------- “The sub-title of this book is The Song of His Soul. Certainly an apt description of what is inside the pages. "Like its namesake, Leaves of Elvis’ Garden often approaches poetry in its simple expression of Spirit and of Elvis’ love of Spirit - a love greater for him than all the worldly riches he obtained in his life. "If you have read any of Larry’s other books on Elvis, you will not find this one simply a re-rendering of what he has written before. In Leaves Larry has set aside much of the telling to allow you to experience the being of Elvis Presley. If you have not read the other Geller books, you will most certainly be opened to a new and truer dimension of Elvis Presley.”
------- “The book is a spectrum of colour, shape, poetry, and more than a hundred and one messages/lessons. The writing revealed a lyrical quality...each a musical note which together...became music, a song, the song of the soul - that commemorates the spiritual artist, Elvis Aaron Presley in the most beautiful of ways”
------- "I just finished reading your book and I thoroughly enjoyed it just like I knew I would. I think it is very important that the fans get to know this personal and private side of Elvis and why he felt he had to search for the answer to why he was who he was. His deep love for God needs to be known by everyone. The fans know about Elvis the entertainer but they do need to understand Elvis the spiritual man more also and your book definitely will help them to understand this wonderful side of his. So thank you for writing this wonderful book."
---- "I was reading your book now three times and I’m so moved to read it. This is a very special book and I love it. You would not believe me but I take it with me wherever I go and read in it whenever there is some time. "It’s a book that has to be written and I’m glad you did."
---- "Your book is unbelievable!"
---- "Larry, I so loved your book, you can really get the feel of how Elvis was thinking & feeling."
---- "Love your book, it is fantastic, as I knew it would be. No one but you can tell it like it was about Elvis. Since you were there and knew what was happening and saw it first hand. Again thank you for this wonderful book. I know I should read and reread it."
---- "I finished the book today; I
couldn't put it down. I especially loved the chapter Deciphering
the Language of God - it was so fascinating.
---- "Well, I finished the book yesterday...I couldn't put it down!! "You hit a homerun with this one. And what I love about it is not only does it let you in on Elvis' spiritual world, but that Elvis spoke to me personally with regard to my own spirituality. "Thanks so much Larry, for the book and introducing me to a journey to a better more fulfilled life."
---- "Your book is by far the most important and revealing of all the books I've read about Elvis. No one could have told and explained the real man but you - actually I’m jealous of the intimate access you had to him. I've learned so much about my own spiritual quest because of Elvis through this amazing book!"
---- "I really enjoyed your new book, I thought it was just a beautiful story about a journey that you had with Elvis and his hunger to ‘understand.' It just made me smile so much."
--- "I just wanted to let you know that your new book Leaves of Elvis’ Garden was just wonderful! I laughed and cried and emotionally felt everything you wrote in that book. I was really sad when I finished the book. I will be reading it again and again many times I am sure. "After reading your book it has also made me want to study more about all religions and spirituality again as well. "I just wanted to express my feelings on your beautiful work and soul. And to thank you."
---- "Larry you have touched my soul and heart with your book and I want to thank you DEEPLY for sharing Elvis' spiritual side with us, I am so grateful that you still, after all these years, keep Elvis' memory alive by disclosing his TRUE SELF, that you are faithful to the friendship and love you both shared."
---- "As an ardent Elvis fan, I'd like to thank you for your vital contributions to Elvisology. It is spiritually uplifting to learn about Elvis thorough your eyes."
---- “I have no idea where to begin....thank you so much Larry. I read 72 pages before I knew it... It has made me think of things long ago lost in the back corners of my mind... “Your book has got me thinking, Life is short, tomorrow does not come sometime. A very simple message. Find out what God wants you to do...and do it. I don't know how to thank you. I will get some of those books listed by you. I have heard of some of them. You know Larry , you should be happy knowing that the things you have written about are helping folks, I believe ELVIS is beaming like a proud Brother right now knowing how you have used your talents to help people.”
---- "Larry, I just finished your book and I am at a loss for words to express how deeply moved I was. I felt I was in another world as I read through the pages. I know this is a book I will cherish and out of the 100 plus books I have on Elvis this will be one to read and reread again and again. "I have never had the privilege to meet you in person, but did get to see and hear you at George Klein's Elvis Memorial this year. I know Elvis would be so proud to see how you are spreading the good word and letting everyone know just who Elvis really was. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing such a beautiful book."
----- "I've read your book a couple
of times and really thought things through when reading it and…man,
I love this one.
