Derrick's Endorsements
I have known Derrick for years. He has inspired me personally through his dedication of getting to the root of his relationship with Jesus. At times when I have personally struggled, he has poured more insight and wisdom into me than anyone else. Derrick is a master at overcoming challenges and connecting people interpersonally. I like to say. “Derrick Serianni has helped me meet me and have an understanding of why I do what I do!!" This is the definitive text book to help us all find our way with God’s plan!!

I believe that seekers of real truth, joy, and peace are in need of a roadmap of sorts to help us find our way. Derrick has lived a life of incredible ups and downs, and has been given a gift that can help many who are searching for real nourishment for the soul. Through the years, Derrick has overcome many challenges to find his way. So, what did God do? He nudged him with another challenge by giving him the gift of a quadruple bypass. “I Am Masterpiece” came from that gift. I believe God inspired this guide to discovering earthly and eternal happiness. I highly recommend it to both anyone seeking and to all those confused with trying to live a day-to-day life without anxiety, fear and knowing that you are worthy. This book is worth your time, and it will open your heart and soul in becoming all that God created you to be.

I have known Derrick for over 10 years. He has always been a man of character and faith and this book shares how he overcame the ultimate test of faith facing DEATH. His book is an excellent read for those who are going through any challenge but especially those who are facing a potential death sentence. The apostle Paul shares in 2 Corinthians 1: 8-10 these words; “… We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us…” Derrick knows these verses first hand. This book will change thousands of lives. You will definitely enjoy it!

Derrick walked into my life five years ago through a mutual friend. You can measure a man and his faith by the evidence that shows up in their life, fruits of the spirit to be precise. I’ve never seen more spiritual activity in a single life!
He has courageously walked through a near fatal heart attack, the recovery process, and still made time to help me through my own crises of faith. He has been such a blessing to me and my family and I don’t have words for it, but I can tell you the first person I call to help me stop and think things through is Derrick. This book, initially written for his son, is full of wisdom and I’m now using it for me and my children. Derrick has a unique way of looking at things and it always comes back to Jesus, which is exactly where I want to be as I raise my children and walk through life.

I had the privilege of being one of the first people to read Derrick’s book. Derrick has a powerful testimony that will inspire you and give you hope. His heart to help people and see them succeed has been born through his own life experiences that bleed through every page. His clear and simple communication will inspire and help many people who are stuck in patterns of self/destructive behavior. I’m certain that as you read this book you will be blessed and encouraged.

Scripture says that God does not want us to be lukewarm Christians. Derrick is not lukewarm. He is hot. However, following in the footsteps of Jesus, Derrick does not “blowtorch” others. He simply lays out the truth with a loving hope that it will be accepted.

I Am Masterpiece is truly a profound and timely work of art, especially in today’s society where depression and anxiety are at an all-time high. Derrick writes with passion, purpose, and experience through his own journey. This book is inspiring and impactful for generations to come.

Derrick Serianni has never met a stranger. I've had the privilege of calling Derrick a dear friend for several years now. We've laughed together, cried together, worked together, and worshiped together. If there's one defining character trait that spills out of every fiber of his being, it's gratitude! He oozes the kind of gratitude that reflects the heart of God in all of his dealings with people. And I'm forever grateful that our mutual friend connected us with each other!
His book draws great insight from Derrick's dramatic highs and lows through life. Combine that with his passion and gifting as a communicator and this book lends itself as the perfect way to be both inspired and instructed in gratitude & spiritual awareness.

From the very first paragraph, “I AM MASTERPIECE” had me hooked! As a lifelong follower of Jesus, most of the information was not new to me, but it was presented in a unique and inspiring way. This book brought simple and thought-provoking questions that made me feel like Derrick and I were having a conversation sitting across the table. He walked me through a new perspective on my self-worth and helped me deepen my faith in God. I will keep this book on my shelf and eagerly revisit it multiple times in the future. While the book was written for his son, it is truly a gift for all of us.

Although I’ve only known Derrick Serianni for a little over 2 years, it feels like 20 years of life. The amount of quality lessons I’ve learned in that time frame have been so numerous it is remarkable. I lived and breathed around the Serianni’s through Derrick’s heart attack, and as he wrote all of these words of wisdom on paper to go into the book. To actually have these lessons for a lifetime and be able to read over them makes everything that I heard and saw click even more in my brain than the first time. I AM MASTERPIECE could be life changing for anyone who feels stuck, lost, alone, or just curious how to find their purpose in life. I’d recommend it to anyone at any stage in their life!

I had the privilege to help Derrick edit and publish his book, “I AM MASTERPIECE.” His sincerity and level of dedication to his personal mission speaks volumes about his character and integrity.

I was blessed to have met Derrick Serianni at an event around the time that he was finishing this book. At the time we met, I could tell we were kindred spirits. I wasn’t sure if it was just the Holy Spirit communicating between us or if we understood each other on a different level. After conversations, it was apparent that both of those things were true. I believe Derrick knows Jesus and we are a lot alike.
I remember my father saying that God will get the glory out of the darkest and hardest situations, in our lives, if we will allow it. I believe “I Am Masterpiece” is Derrick allowing God to get the glory out of a dark and hard situation.
I often wonder what advice the prodigal gave to his children. I Am Masterpiece is a look into the best of fatherly advice. I recommend this wonderful book and I believe that many will be able to use his suggestions and truths to live lives that honor a holy God and look a lot more like Jesus.

I’ve known Derrick now for many years, both prior to his life changing heart attack, and now after as he embarks on sharing the wisdom he’s gleaned over a real life of meeting God on the mountain tops and in the trenches. From the first time we spoke I knew Derrick was a different man, an incredible connector, someone who is always looking for ways to help others in whatever way he can. I’ve personally seen his love for his wife and son and have been able to share many moments with them throughout the years as they’ve come and supported my music in any city within driving distance of where they were.
Now as he releases his new book into the world, I AM MASTERPIECE, I couldn’t be more excited to endorse these life lessons of a man I know is pursuing God like never before. I’ve known many men who were successful in life, business, seemingly in their faith but Derrick stands out to me as someone who is genuine in his desire to not just meet with God, but help you meet with God as well. I pray this book can be a tool that we can all use, grow with, and learn from as we join God in the work, He’s doing in all of our lives each day.
Thank you, Derrick, for sharing your story and your wisdom with us.

I’ve known Derrick Serianni for over 10 years. Through this past decade of building a lifelong friendship, understanding his commitment to Jesus, seeing his faith, and spending time with his family has been truly inspiring. Derrick really walks the talk. He is someone I wholeheartedly trust and respect. He has sacrificed greatly the material things in life, for a life that follows Jesus and a life that is committed to his family. I recommend Derrick’s “I AM MASTERPIECE”. It’s a guide to practicing the strongest faith you can dream of and an abundance of true joy!

I met Derrick over 5 years ago. It’s is amazing the work that God is doing in his life. I AM MASTERPIECE is a book of transformation and how when you put God first, everything else falls into place. Derrick writes from the heart of his personal experiences and how God has molded him. He provides a self-assessment guide and identifies the need for self-awareness for what God is doing in our lives and others. Takeaway message – Let God in, honor God in everything you do, and don’t go before Him.

I have known Derrick for over ten years. When I first met him, I was drawn to his entrepreneurial spirit and his energy and excitement for life. Having spent time with him I know him as an overcomer. And now he has overcome this life-threatening health issue which has given him even greater clarity and purpose in life. He is an authentic individual. He shares that and his heart in this work.

I am not normally at a loss for words, but when it comes to this man it would be better for you to meet him and spend time with him. He brings joy, peace, wisdom and correction if welcomed. When they say behind a great man is an amazing wife, his wife, Anneliese exudes kindness and compassion and is one of a kind. D is a God-fearing man that allows rebuke and then course corrects, I admire the adjustments I’ve seen him make. My brother is something special! He is not perfect he is unique. This man loves his family and he loves my family in a way that I have come to realize most people don’t experience! God has given him a big purpose with I AM MASTERPIECE and we all can be blessed inside that purpose. We both believe in taking the church out of the building and into the streets and he actually lives it! D, I am proud of you, I am inspired by you, and I will stand with you!

Derrick Serianni isn’t just an author who wrote about the importance of relationships, he is a man whose life is all about relationships. He loves people, he connects people and his relationship with Christ is authentic. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to enjoy a deeper relationship with Christ and the people they encounter in their lives.
Bradley ShraderEntrepreneur and Author

I have known Derrick for only 3 years yet he has increased my faith significantly. It is mainly because Derrick doesn’t just “talk the talk”. He has shown me “by his daily actions” - and on multiple occasions - how strong his faith is, and how important it is for him to live Christ-like even in the worst of times. Through his most difficult experiences and losses, he never lost his faith in Jesus. When most of us get angry at God for shortcomings or problems in our lives, Derrick digs down deep and relies on his faith to carry him through those difficult situations. No matter what his crisis may be at any given time, I have seen him put himself and his struggles to the side, to help other people through their difficulties. It is so very evident that his strength comes from his faith. At a time when he should have been focusing on his own healing, he once again used his faith to help others by writing this book. His heart and soul can be felt in these down-to-earth stories and testaments in I AM MASTERPIECE, which many will benefit from.

Derrick Serianni is one of the few people I know that isn't afraid to speak about his faith in God along the way to personal development. I reached out to him during the hardest time of my life and he introduced me to I AM MASTERPIECE, a practical guide to living your best life through faith, business, and personal development. I have known Derrick over 25 years and I know for certain his desire to help people, you can feel it in every page of his book. I AM MASTERPIECE should be something you revisit and apply daily, especially his 4D Method of approaching goals through the application of faith.

Derrick’s journey is full of incredible highs and lows, success and struggle, faith and doubt. Where God has led him is truly miraculous and an inspiration to all. Too many Christians are living an excessive consumption diet and not funding the mission of Jesus’ love for the not-yet-found and the poor. I could see Derrick totally making an impact in that space!
Dan JacobsenPastor, Heartland Community Church

I first of all want to thank Derrick for putting his life's work and experiences into this book to share with the world. Ever since the first time of meeting him, I certainly had a lot of respect for him knowing how much he has poured himself into extensive personal development to transform his life from a once dark place to living in the light of the Lord. Also, one of the main qualities of people I respect most in this world is when they DON'T WIMP OUT ON THE VISION THAT GOD GAVE THEM! Thank you for following through on your vision to give this gift to the world! This is because I too, believe that God made us all MASTERPIECES ("God don't make junk!") and we are called to live our lives on the continual journey of becoming the best versions of ourselves. I AM MASTERPIECE is loaded with great content I believe to be key tools to helping us live our best lives. I love how much of God's word is incorporated throughout the book!

If there's one word to describe Derrick over the last 20 years, it is BOLD. Everything in life he has done is that and this book is all about empowering others to be BOLD in their walk with Christ. He does a beautiful job of guiding the reader on a path to simply step into the life that God has designed for them. The 4D Method in the book includes great benchmarks to help people discover their REAL identity and live full out as God designed them to truly live! Can't wait to share this book with people!

I Am Masterpiece is a brilliantly written marriage of the best self-help strategies with solid Biblical life principles. Derrick uses his own personal life journey to coax you down a path of healthy living, physically, mentally, spiritually and relationally. You can hear his passion in the tone of the words as he lays out practical instruction for self-examination and inspiration. It is apparent Derrick loves Jesus and cherishes every breath he is given, and he wants others to experience the satisfaction of a life lived for Christ. This book is a great read for personal benefit, or could easily be taught in a group setting.

I have known Derrick since he was a young boy, growing up in our hometown of Niagara Falls, NY. He was always one of those kids that everyone loved. He comes from a great family, a firm foundation, which is why he has developed the character that makes him what he is today. A crisis always reveals a person’s true character. I have no doubt that the throughout Derrick’s entire episode, he knew that Jesus was by his side, and that there was a purpose behind it. And I loved that he has taken those circumstances and put the pen to paper to tell his story and encourage others. God had a purpose in all of this and no one knows it better than Derrick.
