What Others Are Saying
“I did not participate in the study this time because of travel plans and having the kids home for the summer. I have to tell you that I feel a bit out of sorts.”
“The Thursday ritual of spending time in the Word has become nourishing food or time spent with a precious long time friend.”
“It gave me the courage and skills to navigate sections of the Bible I had left alone. They seemed too challenging, remote – even mysterious…”
“The Thursday ritual of spending time in the Word has become nourishing food or time spent with a precious long time friend. I miss reading the homework and letting its words fill my mind with knowledge and query. A guide on how to treat others and put my best self forward. A reminder midweek to not be so judgmental and spend more time focusing on the many blessings and be thankful. Thursday morning after Keri’s commentary is usually an AHA mo- ment, so that is what the reading meant! A laugh here and there because there is usually a silly joke to start the serious lesson. My soul, mind and body are spiritually recharged till Sun- day mass.”
“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!”
