God has used Dr. Eckman and his materials greatly in freeing my heart.  I used to "do" a lot of ministry out of obligation and a hope of "pleasing" God.  Unfortunately, my heart was a casualty of this lifestyle.  I really wondered if anyone wanted what I had and I wasn't convinced that the gospel was that good of news anymore.  Over the past two and a half years I feel like I have been waking up from a long, cold winter.  I have never felt more alive!  The Father has captured my heart's affection and my ministry now has become a joy from a grateful heart.  I am utterly convinced that the gospel is the best news any soul can hear and I freely engage in the war for the lost.

Dr. Eckman's materials have significantly influenced my heart and I have taught nothing else in my 3 small groups this year.  We live in a generation of people wanting something real and we have something more real than they ever dreamed.
