"The course has given me a lot of freedom in my relationship with Jesus. I'm one of those who have trouble being consistent with my "quiet time" and feel guilty if I don't. The traditional ways to structure a quiet time have been hard for me to use...I get bogged down and have felt frustrated with them. But this approach to meditation and relationship with Jesus has helped me to put aside those things and just focus on being with Jesus and listening to him."
