“As I read Dancing for Quarters, I found myself reflecting on my own journey of untangling my worth from achievement and learning that my value isn’t something I have to earn. It’s a message that feels both timeless and deeply needed.

Meeting Rod, even briefly, you could sense the warmth and joy he carried. Today, I see those same qualities reflected in his daughters. His greatest legacy isn’t simply the life he lived—it’s the lives he shaped.

This book is a beautiful reminder that the most meaningful legacy isn’t built through performance but through love, faith, and the people we leave better than we found them.”

“Dancing for Quarters is the story of the late Dr. Rod Masteller as told through the lens of his wonderful wife, Linda, and his four remarkable daughters. This book will also adjust the lens of the reader. After reading this riveting, cathartic, and challenging account of my dear friend and colleague’s life, I know I will never see some things the same way again.

The reader will discover that it was not always easy for Dr. Rod to move from seeking the approval and applause of others to spiritual healing and emotional wholeness. But Rod Masteller made that journey, and those he loved the most gave us his priceless keys to discovering this transformative process.”

“Growing up at Putnam City Baptist Church, my foundational values were deeply shaped by Pastor Rod Masteller’s ministry and the authentic grace he modeled daily. Dancing for Quarters beautifully captures his life-changing message: Our true worth is never something we have to prove or perform for because it is already secure in Christ. I encourage anyone worn out by the pursuit of approval to read this book and step into the freedom of God’s unconditional forgiveness and grace.”

“During my thirty-plus years of experience in the business world, I saw firsthand how the demands of capitalism, the pressures of society to constantly achieve more, and personal goals for success and materialism can critically damage the work–life balance that is necessary for a joyful and peace-filled life. I knew Rod for more than forty years, and the pearls of wisdom he left us that have been compiled into this book come from his heart and personal experiences and are biblically based truths about how to find that balance and live a life filled with God’s unconditional love that fills that longing in every heart. If you are willing implement Rod’s truths you will find that you can be a successful businessperson and live a satisfying, joyful life filled with everything you need in this life and leave a legacy for the generations who follow you—a true legacy that will last.”
