“For most of my life I was a passive reader of scripture. I was thoughtful about the assigned readings at Mass, recited the psalms and prayers in the daily office and cherished the Bible stories that fed the liturgical year. But I rarely pursued a deeper understanding of familiar verses and often looked away from certain books like Revelations, that – although beautiful in their symbolism – just seemed out of reach. I stayed with what I knew – or at least thought I knew. Keri’s teaching changed this for me. Proclaim My Word gave me the courage and skills to navigate sections of the Bible I had left alone because they seemed too challenging, re- mote-even mysterious. It also trained me to re-read familiar scripture with fresh eyes and a searching spirit – to go deeper with God in His living Word. Keri’s clear and elegant teaching, paired with the companionship of spiritually curious women in a small group format, opened my heart to the study of all books of the Bible as nourishment for all parts of my life – and en- couraged me not look away from a single divine word of it!”
