"What an amazing job you did in explaining the Panoramic View of the Bible. Several folks who attended Saturday's conference have commented on how much they learned. The word has spread so much from everyone talking about the event that I have had several calls asking when we could do this again!"

Jo Matzes, Administrative Assistant, First Baptist Church of California, MO


"Thanks for making our December Wednesday morning event such a great success! The WOW ladies have been talking and e-mailing about how much fun their morning was. Your talk was perfect... for our group, for the season, for spiritual inspiration with a woman's perspective. We prayed, and God sent you our way!"

Cathy Rosell, Women on Wednesday Bible Study Leader, Jefferson City, MO


"Your talk at our Guild's closing event was fabulous, and I have received many, many comments about how your words touched the audience. The importance of friendships as our children become more and more independent can't be stressed enough. We greatly appreciated your life lessons and hints for how to begin and build friendships. You were just the perfect speaker for our group and the occasion! I saw tears and heard lots of laughter. Thank you so much for such an entertaining and inspirational talk."

Celeste Hynes, President, Guild of St. Irene, St. Sebastian's School, Needham, Massachusetts


"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a perfect weekend. Your talk was excellent. Flying bones! Who would have thought? It was great meeting you and working with you."

Millie Randolph, Grand Oaks WMU-WM Retreat Committee, Chillicothe, Missouri


"ALL of the ladies who attended our women's weekend renewal loved you! You were wonderful! Such a refreshing blessing you were to all of us. Thank you so much! The ladies are still talking about you—some for the weekend and others about your books. I thank God that we were able to enjoy the time with you!"

Lacie Elliott, Women's Renewal Coordinator, Blue Grass United Methodist Church, Evansville, Indiana


"I enjoyed the women's meeting tremendously and ALL feedback has been good. I loved your "Vanna" presentation! Good visuals along with auditory!! It was great!"

Diane Graham, WMU/Women's Mission and Ministry Director, Jefferson Baptist Association, Jefferson County, Missouri


"Having Brenda Poinsett speak at our 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffee' event, was truly God ordained. She provided enthusiasm and insight that was like the jolt of a fresh cup of hot coffee. Her application of Jesus "filling our cup" has helped provide a direction and hope for getting a new women's ministry launched in our association."

Jay Ryan, Eleven Point River Baptist Association, Oregon County Missouri.


"In my thirteen years of working with support groups, I have never had a speaker that touched the hearts of the group like Brenda did."

Denise Mullis, Assistant Director, Southern Indiana Center for Independent Living, Inc.


"The program Brenda presented, Take Time to Celebrate!, was both enjoyable and informative. She made it very personal with eye contact and calling people by their first names. We all agreed that every Sunday school teacher should have been present to learn about all the wonderful holiday ideas Brenda shared."

Mary DeVault, Friends of the Library, Adult Program Committee, Eastern Green County Public Library, Bloomfield, Indiana


"Brenda was a wonderful blessing to many women at our Women Reaching Women Conference and especially to me! I have received a lot of feed back and am very pleased with the results. The ladies were very touched and moved by Brenda's speaking and the topic Not My Will But Thine that she spoke on. They were also moved by how real Brenda was and for not being afraid to share her heart. God used her in a mighty way."

Cookie Banderman, Coordinator for Women Reaching Women, Franklin County, Missouri


"Brenda's words of wisdom, her examples of strength and her tears were a true testimony of God's hand in our lives. Each of us have new insight in the Word and on how many Biblical women dealt with their lives. Our relationship with other women is crucial in our walk, and this was powerfully demonstrated to us by Brenda's examples. She was an inspiration to us all and helped us to 'fill our cup.'"

Vici Starcher, Alive in Christ Women's Retreat Committee, Columbia, Missouri


"Our church really enjoyed having Brenda lead us in a Christmas Celebration Workshop this fall. Many women commented that they were really blessed by her speaking and her many good ideas. Her focus was on the spiritual rather than the material which was just what we needed."

Donna Williams, Women's Ministry Committee, Second Baptist Church, Marion, Illinois


"I was thrilled to see the young and the not-so-young attend our program which featured Brenda's 'Can 'Martha' have a 'Mary' Christmas?' presentation. They all gleaned helpful tips on how to keep their focus on Jesus during the Christmas season. Some of the comments I heard were "Really informative," "Very focused on the real meaning of Christmas," and "Refreshing!"

Pat Townsend, Women's Ministry Director, Christian Fellowship Church, Evansville, Indiana


"When Brenda discussed her book Not My Will But Thine at our library, the program was well attended and well received. Comments from attendees' evaluations included: 'She has that perfect personality for convincing a crowd. . . I loved it,' 'Strong, insightful, honest and good outline,' "very good speaker,' 'very good job-I'm sorry I wasn't more familiar with her books, but now I want to read them!'"

Mary Hall, Adult Services Librarian, Bedford Public Library, Bedford, Indiana


"When Brenda Poinsett presented her program, 'The Panoramic View of the Bible' at our library, she earnestly and enthusiastically shared her vast knowledge of Bible literature in the concise period of an hour. This program was well attended and very well received. Comments from the evaluation forms included: 'Very interesting and extremely informative,' 'she held to the topic well,' 'this was a good program!', and 'wonderful overview of the Bible!'"

Starr DeJesus, Adult Services Librarian, Mitchell Community Public Library, Mitchell, Indiana


"I have attended retreats where Brenda was the keynote speaker. She is a spiritually mature, knowledgeable, and articulate speaker whose personal warmth draws women to her. She is easily approachable and enjoys visiting with audience members after each presentation. She has an ever-growing relationship with Jesus, which is based on a walk with him in the 'trenches' of daily life. This is evident whenever she opens her mouth to pray or share about him with others."

Peggy Brooks, marriage and family therapist, Lincoln, Nebraska
