"I have grasped more truth in this seminar than I learned in years of study of law and economics. Complex issues have been made simple to understand. I have also been equipped to practically apply principles in my nation which will cause it to prosper and increase in liberty for all."

• Pedro Moreno, Former Secretary General, Bolivia; Special Assistant in U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services

"Liberating the Nations [the central text of the seminar] has found wide spread acceptance and interest, and continues to change minds, hearts and lives around the country of South Africa and beyond. As the official manual for two national God and Government symposiums, it's message has spread like wildfire and is helping to inspire a ground swell of Christian virtue and learning."

• Paul Daniel, Founder, His People Ministries, Organizer of SYMSA '92 & '93, South Africa

"A volume could not trace the knowledge and understanding I have gained this week, and I anticipate it will impact me individually as a mother, church member, citizen and in public service."

• Patricia Phillips, Virginia State Representative, Concerned Women for America

"Liberating the Nations is more that just a textbook for the ministry - it is the weapon with which we can step against the ungodly totalitarian authority in my nation, using biblical methods."

• Pastor Boris, Belarus
