"Wonderful"

"I laughed; I wept; I learned! "

"Everyone would benefit from hearing these stories and learning to tell our stories."

It is good for my soul to hear stories from other 'hyphenated' Americans."

"I witnessed the fullness of great storytellers."

"What an incredible undertaking this has been."

"JustStories has a focus that brings creative artistry to issues vital in our shrinking world."

"Storytelling holds the mystery of life together and offers hope to the hearer and the teller. I use storytelling to open me up and others to hear God's Word from a different perspective, a different viewpoint."
