- on Wild and Crazy Family Camp: Worship, Food, and Fun: “Susan, My husband, Bruce, and I hosted our fourth cousin camp this summer – 3 nights and almost four days. We were more organized and better planned (communication between us) than our last three, where he and I had awful/tense conflict during the camp. Communication and ironing out differences/expectations for our plans, such as scavenger hunt at the park (are we in teams, or doing it as one big “team?”), made ALL the difference with peace between him and me and then the emotional intelligence that went wafting out from us to our three (5, 6, 8) grandkids. I watched your presentation on Grand Monday Nights last spring and bought your book! Thank you for the ideas that made a transformation for our event. Martha Ekblad” Sep 9, 14:09

- on This Is Why You Should Pray Regularly That Your Kids Get Caught!: “Susan, This is priceless!! Oh how I wished I’d known this as we were raising our kids. We have a son who we taught integrity and honestly, however, as he got in trouble in his teens and beyond, we tried to be supportive and help him out of it, thinking it was the right thing to do. What a mistake that was!!.. He has grown into a compulsive liar and manipulator, hurting a long line of people along the way, family and friends. Strangely enough, he seems to not end up being prosecuted for his crimes, but oh how I pray that everything he has hidden will be revealed!!!! Parents need this information and to start early in praying this prayer!!” Jun 14, 20:39
