"Profoundly grateful for and impressed with this course. Learning the logic and the tactics of the Pro-Life position was priceless! Great seeing the debate with the pro-choice lawyer. Very instructive hearing the experiences of your (courageous) staff. Very reassuring to know you are willing to work with Catholic Christians on this issue. Honestly, cannot think of any suggestions for improvement. Thank You!"

"Wow! Scott, I am so indebted to you for the blood, sweat and tears you have given to this ministry - and shared your profit with us. I have much to do to solidify the grounding you have given us, but I thank you (and our Father) for a way forward. I have been feeling like I will have to spend the whole next year reviewing and refining to be able to present a solid case for life (pardon, please), but what a privilege to to speak truth and life - even if my beginnings stutter. I appreciate Ensore's comment - anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. I aim to improve with each opportunity. Thank you for challenging and equiping us to MOVE! I know the God of all life will grace you with His affirmation. You are a good and faithful servant."
