Comments on Resources-
Aug., 2005:
“Lynette, first- some kind words of affirmation for you.
We are a practice of six psychologists in Central PA, and we’re doing a workshop for a large constituency of churches in Lancaster, PA on domestic violence (the Church’s Response).
I want to give to you some kudos for the work you’ve done in this area. Your materials are solid, thorough, well organized, and integrate Christian values and the Christian perspective in a meaningful, professional, and forthright manner.
The third thing is to request your permission to reproduce some portions of your text. I would love to include possibly some of your information. We would, of course, include a reference to and give credit to you and/or your practice as the author. Again, thanks for the service you provide.”
In Him, Dr. Tegan Blackbird, Psychological Health Affiliates, Mannheim, PA

“While I did not read everything, what I saw was phenomenal! There is enough information in those books to last a lifetime. I can tell you took a lot of time to compile the information and it shows. Great job on the series and I pray that all is going well.”
