"Thank
you for sending me the book. It is good, even very
good. Before too long I will be able to take a
longer time to read it further in depth. I may
decide to use it with a few women. I appreciate you
looking out for me!"

"I'm
so grateful that you informed us of your "spot-on"
book! One of the things that encouraged me is the
discussion (discreetly shared) of your own journey
from painful family experiences to forgiveness and
peace. Reading about your journey, as well as
reading about the "tools" to complete the journey
gave me hope. Another helpful aspect of
Project Renewal is the useful, rich
selection of thoughtfully arranged Bible references.
The verses ministered direction, comfort, and hope
as I worked through some of my own experiences which
I had ignored for many years. Thank you for being a
willing and able servant!"

"It was really refreshing to
find an easy-to-use guide for emotional recovery
after abuse. I have seen so many books on the
subject that are just a chore to use. Project
Renewal is so practical and now in our
"instant everything" world I think people all over
the world would be more willing to begin their
restoration process with this easy-to-use guide
written by someone who knows the process firsthand.
It is a tremendous privilege to translate it into
Spanish."

Avant Missionary
"There is such a need for this
help everywhere. I will keep it in my prayers. You
know how proud and honored I am to know you and walk
this journey with you. You truly are a gift from
God."

"God's timing always fascinates
me—reading through Project Renewal was
perfect timing in my life. While our family was out
of town attending a sports tournament, there ended
up being great tension and stress throughout the
weekend, much of it old stuff that bubbled up. It
was God's perfect timing in my life and that of my
family's to be working through this material. I
want to tell you it was a tremendous blessing and
has helped to steer us in the direction that we need
to go on this path of renewal. Thank
you for being
faithful to share your journey through writing
Project Renewal. I have no doubt that God will
use it in a mighty way in many people's lives—just
as He did in ours."

"While
in Kansas City, where we are moving our mission
office, I enjoyed meeting quite a number of people
at Avant Ministries. One day, I felt a special ‘God
moment’ when I met Carol Meyer—we had a wonderful
connection and time of sharing. She told me about a
workbook she had written, and about her website.
After talking with her, I made sure I bought
Project Renewal before I left. As I read her
book, I found it particularly helpful in a specific
area I've struggled with—forgiveness.
"As a result, I
decided to order a few more books to share with
others whom I thought might also appreciate her
writing. Whether you have a personal need in this
area or not, we all know someone who is struggling
with hurts, and this might be a very good resource
to share with them. See what you think!"

"Project Renewal
has been a valuable source of healing on my personal
spiritual journey to healing and understanding the
root of years of abuse. Carol has helped me to
accept God as my real partner through Project
Renewal. She has laid a path of recovery and
hope for peace for me to follow. My Project
Renewal is always within arm’s reach for those
days when emotions seem to be overwhelming. Now
knowing I have a partner in Christ waiting at any
moment to take over for me is an emotional security
that I wish for all emotionally hurting people to
know.
"Thank you Jesus for
leading and directing Carol through her personal
knowledge of the damage abuse causes and providing
answers we have sought after for years!"

“Like many others, I
was rejected at birth. Rejected because I wasn’t the
boy my mother wanted. That rejection impacted my
life in incredible ways as I grew up and has
continued to revisit me as an adult. The scary thing
is that I repeated the same action when my daughter
was born, refusing to hold her for the first
twenty-four hours of her life.
"But there is good
news for all of us! In Project Renewal, Carol has
done an awesome job of telling us why we all belong
to the dysfunctional family called the human race. I
have so appreciated her guidance in the steps of
identifying the problem and moving into spiritual
wellness.”

"I love the
step-by-step progression of this study, and the
sharing of your own life situations. To forgive
those who hurt us, can lead to reconciliation and
blessing—as God works in us to show others His mercy
and grace. Wow, a beautiful revelation!"

"All
families have had some degree of dysfunction and the
negative effects on us as adults impact our
relationships with others and God. These negative
effects can be changed when we open our hearts to
the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Project Renewal provides biblical steps that
enable us to get out from the strangle hold of these
experiences. We must not fear bringing them out
into the light. As we examine them through the lens
of Scripture and follow through on these steps, God
is able to redeem these experiences so that they
will have the opposite of their intended effect. Project Renewal is a study from which all men
and women, couples and small groups who are serious
about becoming more like Christ, would benefit."
— Rosemary Flaaten, author
of A Woman and Her Relationships
"Project Renewal
can be a life
changing experience and encouragement. You may have
to read it through a couple times or more, to grasp
the full meaning of forgiveness. My personal
experience has been possibly more serious than most,
however, it will give you much comfort and healing,
whatever your trials have been.
"My experience was
one of a “near death” physical attack, and it took
me 35 plus years to even remember what had happened
to cause so much pain in my life, subconsciously. I
believe, through God’s intervention and timing,
Project Renewal
and Carol Meyer were in my life for a reason. Carol
has been a very kind, patient, non-judgmental,
confidential counselor and I deeply appreciate her
love and obvious concern, especially since the lack
of family support has also been a reality in my
personal life.
"My recollection of a painful
situation came with nightmares and regained memory,
because of certain events, which I believe God
brought to me when He knew the timing was right.
Yours may have been in your memory all along
throughout your life.
"Please do not minimize your
pain compared to others, and let Project
Renewal start the healing process in your
own struggles."
— Anonymous
"I started to read through
Project Renewal and the personal examples make it
very interesting! I couldn't put it down this
morning as I began to read it again before work. I
have it on my desk at home to read with prayer and
much thought. It seems very well written and
organized—lots of concepts in a little package."
