Here are a few of the nice things people have said about Cec’s speaking:

“Tucked inside a pocket in my purse is a well-worn and torn white envelope that holds my grocery coupons. It’s not what is inside that benefits me the most, it’s what is written on the outside. Cec Murphey was the keynote speaker at our Orange County Christian Writers Day Spring Event. He spoke eloquently and I was riveted to every word, especially one particular phrase. At dinner after the conference I asked him to repeat it to me so I could write it down. All I had in my purse was that threadbare envelope which now bears the words: Loving God, show me the truth about myself, no matter how wonderful it may be. Amen … Thank you, Cec, for lifting me up each and every time I grocery shop.” (B.J.)

“Your words challenged me to deal with some painful things in my life and to be open to how God wants to use them. I’ve also committed myself to strengthening my personal relationship with God, which I had neglected ….” (Dianne)

“I’ve had many thank you’s from the folks who attended the workshop who were very happy they came. One said, ‘Please let me know when Cecil is coming back. I could have listened to him all day.’ Thought you might want to know some of the feedback.” (Mary)

“You inspired us deeply with those fresh words of life. I gleaned so much from what you said, and shed some tears. The fire has made you more authentic, which makes your words more powerful still.” (Janey)

“His authenticity was a real inspiration.” (Conference attendee)

“I loved the topic Cec spoke on. His presentation was tops. Every night I was blessed by the message he’d bring. I usually felt as though he were speaking directly to me.” (Conference attendee)

“I think your faith picks up the stumbling and crippled faith of others and carries it across the desert of seeming hopelessness. Your faith, Cec, is grace to many. It is to me…. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love you, I love your innocent faith, and I love the way you care for and uplift others…. May God continue to use you to speak His Word.” (Art)

“Whenever Cec speaks, I perk up my ears and listen.” (Camille)
