“Ron Wheeler’s “Jeremiah” comic strip was a huge part of the Teen’s Today periodical when it was first released, and countless teenagers looked forward to each weekly installment. With humor and whimsy, Wheeler inspired an entire generation of teenagers to consider their Christian witness as they grew in wisdom and stature. I am glad to see Jeremiah once again made available to new generations of young people!”

– Bruce Nuffer, former Children’s Publisher, Zonderkidz Publishing, Currently Curriculum/art director for The Foundry Publishing

“It was a fantastic strip. They were a highlight of being a Nazarene teenager.”

– Eric Folk, Nazarene pastor

“Jeremiah spoke to my dilemmas as a teenager.”

– Brent Dirks, University professor

“I had an inside scoop on adolescence through that strip and could also find ways of laughing at myself for going through the exact same shenanigans.”

– Cary G. Tipton, Nazarene pastor

“Ron had the capacity to address substantive adolescent issues in a creative and fun way through his cartoons.”

– Fred Fullerton, former Director of Nazarene Youth International Ministries

“When I discovered Ron Wheeler and Jeremiah, I discovered ‘gold’ for Teens Today. The Adventures of Jeremiah increased readership, interest, and helped the magazine to become award winning from the Evangelical Press Association.”

– Gary Sivewright, Editor, Teens Today

“Teens Today was an integral part of Christian education for students in our denomination. For many years, Ron Wheeler used Jeremiah to communicate important and relevant Christian values and principles to tens of thousands of junior high and high school students using art together with humor. Jeremiah was easily the most popular feature in the publication and provided many a teen something to read during the sermon. They loved Jeremiah and Ron used his art form to influence an entire generation of teens to seek God and walk more closely with him. Like all other kinds of art, cartooning is timeless, and I’m delighted to know Jeremiah will continue to shape the spiritual lives of today’s teens.”
