Sus libros me han ayudado mucho en el proceso y también mi mentor Leo Ayala. Hay un gran vacío para la población hispana (que es muy extensa y que estamos pasando por todas estas cosas), por no existir retiros, mentoría, materiales, etc.. en español. Sé que algunos de sus libros se han traducido. Pero hay muchos eventos significativos, en los cuales no podemos participar por causa del idioma. Solo les invito a reflexionar en ello y que Dios les dirija. Un abrazo.

Your teaching via podcasts and your books have been gold to me! I have treasured your messages encouragement and understanding of what it means to draw close to the God we love and serve. I have begun to implement some of what you have talked about, and I am the beneficiary as I trust are others in my world. You are a true gift to the body of Christ and especially to those of us who serve and lead in ministry. Thank you so much.

You are most welcome! (I believe our transforming resources manager has addressed you question off-line.)

Oooh…I love this metaphor! That’s exactly how it is! Thanks, Dustin, for adding this to the conversation.

And, this invitation…for me. I’m reminded of the feeling of being in a kayak on rough river water. Forceful movements are needed to paddle out of the current to the stillness of a nearby pool or shore. That’s the brutal part! To make the decision to paddle there and then to get myself there. Yet, the reward is so so good!

My first introduction to your work was through WMI at Heritage College, Solitude & Silence. I have used this book and many more of yours since then in Women’s Bible studies. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I have a suggestion if possible. I live in Canada, if possible could you offer the Canadian rate when presenting your books. As well if there is a shipping cost. Thank you. Blessings Pat.
