I enjoy following Barbara and have enjoyed her wisdom starting at a Weekend to Remember when I was engaged in Feb 1986 to now as a wife of 38.5 years, mother and grandmother!

I'm new to this online Substack world and am glad Barbara is here. I'm undergoing cancer treatment and finding sites and books of hers and Dennis 's valuable as life has slowed down. Forgive me for using library copies as money is tight these days. Thank you for this opportunity to be taken in consideration.

Yeah for library copies! We are so glad you found some. No shame in getting to read a book you like for free and return it for someone else to enjoy. ~ETH Staff

Our family got to “know” Barbara from her voice on the Passport to Purity CASSETTES! I recently began listening to her podcasts & listened to a lot of her talks during this past December when more were made available. Her down to earth style backed up by Biblical truth along with being open and vulnerable are refreshing and practical.

Thank you Barbara for continually working to draw generations closer to Christ.

I really loved the Embassy of the King plaque and sentiment/attitude/posture that you spoke about a long time ago and had in your shop. That is the reason why I subscribed to this. I stumbled upon it in search of that plaque resource!

As a newlywed (at 69), Barbara’s wisdom and insights bring good perspective and help me understand better God’s gift of a spouse. It’s a joy to be teachable at this stage. Thank you!

I've just started following you and am new to liturgy and the Christian calendar, but I really appreciate your deep rooted yet practical tools and ideas in bringing Christ and tradition alive in our homes and families.

Yay! I love Barbara’s stuff. Last year I went to my first Weekend to Remember conference, and picked up her book, “The Art of Being a Wife”. Wow! What a life changing book! Her words have been encouraging and also helpful in changing my mindset on marriage and how I love my husband.

I love reading Barbara Rainey's emails and blogs. I feel like Im cozy-ing up with a friend with our mugs of hot drinks to have great conversation. Barbara and Dennis have been a part of our home for many many years. It is a delight to hear wisdom from Barbara as I look forward to each reading. This time of reading always encourages me to go deeper in my relationship with Jesus and to truly live those around me. Thank you Barbara for your labor of love to the body of Christ.

Today these messages have filtered through my heart and into my life like a new bloom on a rose bush. There are thorns of life. Difficulties to bear, but there is nothing like a rose. Its fragrance, like these messages I read hear, are a new day's perfume. They place a new smell in my heart to be the godly wife and mother God made me to be. Your messages Barbara are relative and spiritual. I cannot wait to see what the next bloom looks like.
