I couldn't put the book down! What an amazing story about how someone got trapped at the dark side and couldn't get out, even when he wanted to. His description about life in jail made me feel like I was trapped in there right next to him. If you know people who are at the edge of being thrown in jail, give this book to them, and Don's story may scare them into turning their lives around. I had the privilege to meet the author in person. He is the most humble, laid-back, and friendly person I've ever met. If you enjoy this book, please come back and write a nice review here.
A Great Achievement...

I met Don Kirchner almost 5 years ago when he handed me his most current draft of the book. I couldn't put it down. I was thrilled with the drama and action of his true story. Being a pilot myself I was intrigued with the danger and suspense involved in the flying aspect of the tale. The further I read, the more I was remined of how delicate and tenious our lives really are. Don's ability to deal with and overcome these challanging situations is what impresses me most about "A Matter of Time". This book is a great read and I highly recommend it.
How to Stay Up All Night

What a trip! No one could imagine what prison is like without reading this...and how the author grew and evolved during this experience is nothing short of inspiring. This book is written in such a compelling manner that I felt like I was living it myself. In addition to the joy, love, fear and the gamut of emotions experienced, I came away with a lesson about how we create the manner in which we experience our lives in a way that I could easily adapt to my own life. Of course, it kept me up several nights since I read it word for word so that I could hear and feel what I was reading. I feel that this book will become a classic.
A Must Read

"A Matter of Time" is the true story of the author's involvement in drug smuggling, his arrest and incarceration in the Federal prison system. More important, it is his struggle to become the person he is today; a person who devoted his time in prison to helping other prisoners return to an honorable life through education. He has continued this activity today through the establishment of a Return to Honor program to help those still within the system. Perhaps nothing attests to the author's worthwhile activities more than the fact that the very prosecutor who put him behind bars was the person granting him early release. Don't miss this harrowing, but successful, struggle--a fascinating story!
This Book Will Become a Major Motion Picture!

"A Matter of Time" by Don Kirchner, evokes the few times in my voracious reading experience that was relentless in keeping me turning pages until it was finished. Reading the book was like "seeing" the movie. The incredible pace, imagery, dialogue, and very personal reflections are lessons for us all. There are many true human redenption stories out there, but this one, in my humble opinion, ranks at the very top. No wonder the Federal Prosecutor wrote the Foreword. Bravo! Mr. Kirchner, tell us more!
