James McDermott, Roving Editor Guideposts Magazine:

"I can still hear her silvery laughter and picture her face crinkling impishly with amusement. No conversation with Jean Bell Mosley was without laughter, and any interchange of any sort with her was unfailingly dignified, gentle, and life-affirming. The words old fashioned virtue come to mind when I remember her, and every sentence she wrote nudges her readers toward good values and an appreciation of how God works in the lives of those who love Him. She treasured family and friends, delighted in nature, and lived both abundantly and modestly. Her writing shines an engagingly merry light on the human condition. She will cheer you up and coax you into feeling better about yourself and the world around you."

David Johnson, Director of Communications, Louisiana Cultural Vistas:

"A beloved and prolific writer, Jean Bell Mosley tied the complex world stage to her own modest surroundings, finding interpretation of rapidly changing times in the assuring cycles of nature, the goodwill of mankind, and, underlying all, the bedrock of faith. As the author of 6 books, countless magazine articles, and a syndicated newspaper column for a half a century, Jean Bell Mosley had a gift for the written word. However, her most cherished line of communication was that between herself and her God. Throughout her life, when seeking answers to heaven-directed questions, Mosley found that the Almighty 'answered back,' if only she looked for His symbolic messages. Readers of this autobiographical journey—from girlhood on a hardscrabble farmstead in the rural Ozarks to the writing desk of an accomplished author who never mentally left her agrarian roots—are sure to find similar inspiration."

Mildred Wallhausen, Southeast Missouri Press Association:

"Everything Jean Bell Mosley has written has her rare, magic touch. Not only did she have a great love of the English language, she knew how to use it! Everything she wrote touched the universal heart and spirit of humanity—all ages, in their compassion, their struggles, ups and downs, joys and sorrows. What a sensitive and endearing intellectual she was! She never bragged, but her accomplishments could fill a book."

Laura Johnston, Southeast Missourian:

"Whether it was a story about life on the farm or a tale about the bumblebees buzzing about her flower gardens, Jean Bell Mosley could spin a story that kept her audiences captivated."

Michael Wells, TBY:

"As a writer you hope you can touch someone with your written word and Jean Bell Mosley…touched people around the globe from her porch swing…in Cape Girardeau."

James C. Penney, Founder of J.C. Penney Company, Inc:
      (from his letter to Jean Bell Mosley on April 22, 1968)

"I wish to congratulate you for the fine article which impressed me greatly ['How Rich Can You Be?' appeared in Reader's Digest of April 1968]. Your powers of description are excellent."

Joyce White, Southeast Missourian.com Opinion, Tuesday, January 8, 2008:

"As a youngster growing up in Ste. Genevieve County, I always looked forward to Mrs. Mosley's columns that appeared in the Ste. Genevieve Herald.…I was so happy to get a signed book from her son, Steve Mosley. I truly treasure this book."
