Terri,
I wanted to write you and let you know that I am very much enjoying your new site and "radio" program. I have even been blessed to share it with my dh and God has challenged us both while listening to your guests ( and you too!). Thank you for having this vision!!!!! I'm passing on the information to others so that they will be blessed also. May God's blessings come upon you and overtake you,
Glenda
Dear Terri,
I just finished reading your book, "If it weren't for Eve". I am sure you must hear this often but....."You have written my life in a book!" I am a homeschooling mother of 10 with such a similar background (and I mean literally) as yours that I can't believe it! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how your book ministered to me in so many ways! From the sex issues to the mind entertaining wild thoughts....to wondering why I am still homeschooling after 16 years. I have learned a lot today....(I read the book in 2 hours! I made myself) Tom just walked in and said, "This house is a mess, what happened? There is no dinner, and Jaci hasn't been bolused!) (She is special needs) Anyway, I will now attempt to find something for dinner, clean up the place and all the while I AM GOING TO BE SMILING AND THANKING THE LORD FOR MY HUSBAND!!!! Much love in Christ....

Dear Terri,
I just got Ignite the Fire! I love this book so far...Oh How God has blessed you with insight and wisdom to help all of us out there, hanging on by a thread! Usually once per month I want to give it up! But one dear friend of mine gave me your book to read. Thank God! I've started my Fuel book just today too. I've always had difficulty leaving it in Gods hand, but I'm believing he and only He can do this. I'm looking forward to the rest of your book and letting the Lord show me the way He wants me to homeschool His children. Sincerely, In Christ's love,
Laura
Terri,
I just wanted to say thank you! You have blessed my homeschool by just being YOU! I heard you speak at the Valley Home Educators Convention in July of 2002. You inspired me to follow my own teaching methods, as they are very similar to yours. I must admit that when I started homeschooling, I was more relaxed than many other parents that I have talked to. But, I found that I was still too rigid. I wanted perfection from my "students." I had picked up your book and thumbed through it and found it very interesting, but I didn't need it at the time. Recently, I was looking for more source/idea books to "loosen up" a bit. I remembered seeing your book and thought it to be exactly what I needed and it was! Yours has been a blessing from God. I also checked out your website, which has blessed me the most. I got to see that you are not perfect! I saw that your house was a mess too. (I know that sounds awful, but it is so refreshing not to see a spic-n-span home, which I know is not always realistic.) That is what my house looks like at the end of some days! Especially when it is unit study days! It was very heartening to see you open yourself up and show a vulnerable side of yourself (your home) to us "onlookers." Thank you! I am very blessed by your radio program too. I am quickly trying to catch up with the broadcasts since I am a new listener. But I did hear one broadcast that I thought that I can actually contribute to. You had mentioned that you are trying to find another word for "school." My daughter struggled with the word "school" for awhile also (We do "schoolwork" 3 days a week, math, copywork, etc.) We tried calling it "bookwork," "schoolwork" and other names. None excited us. Finally my daughter who loves to excercise, decided one day that we should call them "Brain Excercises." This has worked wonderfully for our family. My daughter realizes that we must excercise to keep in shape and strengthen ourselves. I have also decided that I can relate our brain excericises to something the apostle Paul said in Hebrews 12:1 "...and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." We have to prepare ourselves or our brains for our race or life that God has planned out for us. I think that Excercising our Brains is what the Lord wants our children to do, all for the Glory of HIM! Thank you for your ministry, your sacrifice and your words of wisdom, Standing in the Light of His Glory,
Casey
Dear Terri,
I'm so excited! I just have to let you know that you have made a huge impact on my life! I just finished reading your book, If It Weren't For Eve I'd Be A Perfect Wife. From the first chapter through the very end, I felt as though this book was written just for me! I feel like I've known you all my life! In every single chapter, there were so many similarities in our life situations right down to our husbands name - Steve. I just couldn't believe how much we thought alike! Of course, I only have two children, but I could honestly see myself through your inspired words. I laughed! I cried! I prayed. The 'pivotal moment' for me was reading chapter 14. What a difference in my life and marriage while reading your book! Thank you!!! You are truly a blessing from God! I can't wait to read your other books!

Terri,
I just found out about you through the chatroom a few months ago. I learned how to hear your radio broadcasts in January. When you did the interview with Sally Clarkson and shared a portion of your book, "I'm Going to be the Greatest Mother Ever" I knew I had to get that book. I have read it in short order and know I will be buying your other titles in the future. I think books like these are what mothers need to read. Not another purely How-to book, but a book that will show how meaningful every seemingly little trivial thing that we find ourselves doing everyday really is. Thank you for your honesty. It really rings through your writing and has blessed me.
Sandra
Dear Mrs. Camp,
Although we don't know each other, I am going to risk being a little impertinent. Thanks alot! Thanks for making me cry every time I read something on your web site! Thanks for pointing out my selfishness instead of letting me wallow in self pity! But most of all, thanks for being the encouragement I have so dearly needed every time I come to your web pages! :-) But seriously...I found your Ignite the Fire web site a few weeks ago and was so greatly encouraged by the articles, I just had to share it with my friends. Today was another day of self indulgent "PPMS" as you so aptly named it, and I found myself mirrored in your description of your frustrated day. Thank you for being honest and giving me somewhere to "go" when life threatens to overwhelm me. I am homeschooling my oldest two children (aged 8 and 6) and have a partially toilet-trained 3 yr old and a 4 month old baby as well. Today was "one of those days." The baby is in my lap as I type this, and I must now figure out how to finish supper with her clinging to me. I'm sure you can relate! But before I get up, I think I will ask God for His grace and love, and that "to die for" attitude. I believe my family will be thanking you for a happier, calmer mother/wife before dinner is through... :-) God bless you and your ministry.

Hi Terri,
I just had to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoy your website and your articles that you write for Crosswalk. I have been following you for several months now and picked up your book "Ignite the Fire" back in August of this past year. I love it! I am still trying to implement many of your ideas so the process is a slow one, but I always feel encouraged after reading something you have written either in the book or by email. Keep up the wonderful work you and your sweet family are doing. It is making a difference in the lives of many homeschooling families, but especially in the life of this mother and devoted fan in Georgia! Blessings to you and your family,
Terri in GA
Terri,
I have read "Greatest Mom Ever" and "Ignite the Fire". I loved both books and cannot wait to get the rest. I listen to your weekly broadcast and love it! Our computer is in the kitchen so, I can turn on your show while I do the dishes and clean up and it makes cooking and cleaning time go by faster and I can enjoy it more. I can so much relate to everything you talk about on the show. Being a homeschool mom can sometimes leave you feeling a little isolated. No one really understands why I would want to teach my own children and sometimes they can be very critical. It's refreshing to be able to hear from someone weekly that seems to share the some of the same opinions and struggles. You are much appreciated. If there is anything I can do to help with the ministry or to keep the show on the air, please let me know and I will try to help. Terri, Thanks again... God Bless You and Your Family,

Hi Terri,
I visited "The Path Home," and listened to your broadcast then I ordered you newest book "I'd be a perfect wife." When the book arrived I really wasn't sure when I would have the time to read it, my husband and I have 7 children and I homeschool(say no more!). I looked at the book and read the first few pages and cried out "Thank You Lord!" I didn't need to read another "perfect" homeschool Mom book, I took one night and a small part of the morning to read the book I was hooked. A dear friend of mine has been needing encouragement and we had shared a lot of the thoughts that you wrote about in your book, I know God prepared the perfect time for me to read your book. I guess what I want to say is thank you! I will pray for God to continue to use you and your family. In Christ,
Helen
Terri,
You really have a way of putting words together. Thanks for being so transparent. It's neat to see how God works, how He transforms people. We truly have a GREAT God!
Lori
Terri,
Your website is wonderful, helpful, and inspiring. I have a couple of your books and I love them. Thank you for using your gifts to help the rest of us! You are such a terrific person - how did you get to be that way?
