Testimonials

"As a pastor, I saw in Jeanetta that having a strong voice for God has nothing to do with vocal chords. Jeanetta speaks truth in ways you can remember it." - B. Laver, Myrtle Point, Oregon

"Best decision I made all day, to attend Jeanetta Chrystie's writer's workshop. Very informative, interesting and inspiring!" - B. Berry, Kirkland, WA

Dear Jeanetta, I am so glad to have "bumped" into you at the conference last Saturday. Happy to get an opportunity to express my appreciation in person for the writing class... I have been attending these one-day conferences since 1986, as well as attending a summer conference, and feel qualified to say that, to date, yours has been one of the most encouraging writers' classes I have taken. I remember gleaning inspiration with your quotes like, ... "God teaches us through our writing." I was buoyed with hope even before I walked into your classroom! Uplifted by your evident passion for Jesus, our Lord. Having the advantage of viewing others from the back row, I don't know if you noticed, but you had everyone's participation--even the quiet ones. I believe it was because you were able to personally identify with and related to each person in the room ... Even after the class was dismissed people lingered to talk about what they learned. ... For the rest of the day, I heard snipets of conversations of the class they "missed", to little quizzes of those who took it to those who didn't, and plenty of positive feedback from those who took the workshop as well. Love and blessings, N. Noble

When I first attended a conference for the Oregon Association of Christian Writers, I felt overwhelmed by the exceptional talent of the many writers who were there. As a speaker at the conference and author, Dr. Jeanetta Chrystie combined articulate delivery with sincere eagerness to encourage those she taught. I felt privileged to have one-on-one coaching time with her. Even though I had only begun to seek publication of my writing, she helped me believe that I was not on the outside, looking in; she imparted a sense of belonging and of expectation for my future as a writer. Jeanetta Chrystie captured what it means to minister with relevance when she said, "Ministry is when your heart's greatest joy meets the world's deepest needs." God used her to meet the need of my world as she encouraged me to pursue writing and to even dare to believe God wants to use me to impact others. N. Peacock Beaverton, OR 97008
