To Whom It May Concern,

    I’m delighted to recommend Charlotte Ostermann as a speaker for your next event.  Twice Charlotte has spoken at day-long events I’ve hosted for a women’s retreat I plan annually for a diverse group of Christians from a variety of denominations and backgrounds. 

    In 18 years of planning retreats, Charlotte is the only speaker I’ve invited for a second year.  She brought sparkle, depth, humor and rich, new understanding to conversations on holy leisure and growing in the interior life.  She walked our group through a difficult C.S. Lewis book and helped those who had never opened the book, as well as those who had studied it carefully, come away with practical and soul satisfying new perspectives.

    Charlotte is a woman of intensity and intellect and her talks definitely challenge her audiences.  She is well worth the challenge, however, because Charlotte brims over with wisdom and faith that rings true, relevant and accessible.

* Note from Charlotte: The two talks I did for this group were: "A Prayer, A Poem, A Person, A Place" and "The Veiled Self: Introduction to C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces"

To Whom It May Concern:

I recommend Charlotte Ostermann to be a speaker for your group. She has given clearly focused, finely tuned, richly illustrated talks to my class at the University of Kansas and at two conferences on campus of which I was chairman.  The class was “Reason and Imagination in the Writings of C.S. Lewis.” These C.S. Lewis Society regional conferences, on campus, provided opportunity for her to give presentations on additional Lewis-related topics in groups of students and townspeople.

Since then Charlotte has spoken twice to a C.S. Lewis discussion group of faculty and their spouses here in Lawrence.  Her breadth of preparation and understanding, coupled with her unusually fine speaking skills, have made her a popular speaker for age groups from ages 18 to 80, from a variety of backgrounds. Because of her ability and willingness to share her own insights and research, she has and will again be a speaker for two different groups in Lawrence, both secular and sacred, of which I am program chairman.  I recommend Charlotte Ostermann with enthusiasm and without reservation to be a speaker for any group that shares her interests.
