"Rod Gray has crafted a unique and remarkable resource in INK, illuminating the transformative "power of the pen" amidst the noise of our digital landscape. In an age dominated by a barrage of texts, emails, and social media posts, Rod encourages readers to revisit the lost art of handwritten correspondence—letters, notes, and greeting cards that nurture genuine human connection."

"Rod structures the story of the 'why' we need the handwritten note in a style that invites his readers to be inspired through history and through emotional examples. This book will help you get back to the basics."

"I have considered Rod a friend and colleague for the better part of 30 years and have both witnessed—and personally experienced—his relentless habit of expressing gratitude through handwritten notes. This man has built countless successful businesses and cultivated a wide circle of incredible friends simply because he takes the time to appreciate each person he encounters—and thoughtfully lets them know it. Rod’s example and advice have also helped me build my own business through the power of handwritten thank-you notes. He truly practices what he preaches, and anyone would do well to adopt the habits presented in this book to positively impact the lives of others."

"There is just something so powerful about personal connection. In a digital world we lose that and so many things become generic rather than personal and meaningful. Rod Gray’s new book will show you the power of a personal note or message that goes beyond the digital world and straight to the heart of the individual. When you use the power of the pen it will indicate to the receiver that you did what most people would not do. You went the extra mile, thought your message out, and put it to the pen. What goes out is your own heartfelt message that will make it so much more special to the person who receives it. This is a much needed book that will change how you communicate, and influence how people reciprocate. I highly recommend this new book by Rod W Gray!"

"The pen isn't just mightier than the sword. The pen, guided by a human hand and led with a heartfelt intent, is mightier today than ever. In an increasingly automated, AI driven world, people are dying to hear from other people. And that makes the old school practice of handwritten notes the new secret weapon in building relationships. Read Rod's book. Soak up his thoughts. Then, do what your mother told you to do and start writing handwritten notes. It will change your relationships for Good."
