"Jim and Carol have an uncanny ability to connect with any audience using their unique blend of drama and humor. Many couples gained new insights as they "saw themselves" onstage. We're thrilled to have them as a part of the team here at FamilyLife touching hearts through the Rekindling the Romance events. I would heartily recommend them--they are THE best!"

"I have seen many artists of the soul do good work and touch my heart, but Jim and Carol are rare in their ability to arouse my deepest desire to know God. In some sense, they are entertainers, but far more they are prophets who call us to see with new eyes and dream with a redeemed heart. Their ministry is rich with gospel hope."

"Jim and Carol perform hilarious, moving and powerful theatre that speaks right to the hearts of their audience. As a speaker, I have enjoyed working with them at several events. Their desire, both on and off stage is to use their gifts to point marriages toward hope and healing."

"Carol Anderson has a unique gift of blending humor, truth and practical application into dramatic sketches. She is in my opinion the best in the field. I recently had her accompany me at a Women's conference and she was by far the most dynamic, powerful and impactful part of the entire conference. She is a must for anyone wanting to take truth and powerfully communicate that truth to the heart and to the mind. Her life backs up everything she does on stage. She is the real deal."

"We are thrilled to have Jim Shores and Carol Anderson sharing relevant insights through drama as part of Focus on the Family's Life on the Edge Tour. Jim and Carol are tremendous individuals who have given us 100% of themselves both onstage and behind the scenes. Our parent-teen audiences consistently rave about their performances in evaluations, and we consider it a privilege and a great blessing to have Jim and Carol as part of our team and family."

"It was an incredible performance. But it was more than a performance, it was inspired. I will take away the look on your face at the end. The light was full on your face when you said, "I am a feather on the breath of God." I have seen a lot on Broadway and this performance was up there with some of the best."

"You guys did a phenomenal job! Maybe nothing makes more of an impact than strong powerful drama. And surely nobody does better at this than the two of you. God used you to touch a lot of lives, mine included..."

"Their understanding of recovery issues runs deep and pierces the heart. Rarely have I seen writing and acting skills so professionally honed in a Christian performance team. Shores and Anderson are true pro's with a heart for God."

"ACTS OF RENEWAL are one of the best discoveries we've ever made. Our conference crowds love their performances, and have demanded they come back every year. Acts of Renewal is an annual highlight for our conferees. We give them our highest recommendation!"

"It was a treat to see such moving and passionate pieces. It was obvious that God brought you and your gifts to the Midwinter event. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to change on a day's notice."

"You two were fantastic!"

"I would not do a conference without Acts of Renewal. Their creative, often funny, and painfully honest approach allows the audience to touch, see and feel the heart of God."

"You were a wonderful blessing to my wife and myself during the recent Marriage Enrichment event in Branson. God has blessed you with a wonderful talent and gift."

"You brought a very tangible love for Christ to us today, and a deeper conviction for what is possible for us with His grace. We were awestruck by the power of your talent in combination with the direction of the Holy Spirit."

"Carol and Jim communicate so significantly, yet joyfully a profound appreciation for and insight into the journey we name 'older age.' Seniors recognize themselves and identify with the characters portrayed, aspiring to carry faith forward into the years of fulfillment. Simply superb!"

"Their plays at a recent marriage enrichment retreat offered a learning experience most people had never had before. Their work was simply amazing."

"Watching your dramas unfold, I was personally struck with the depth of your content, the quality of your acting, the timeliness of your humor and the power to deliver life-changing truth. I reveled in your giftedness and the audiences apt attention and response. We would love to have you back in the future."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at our retreat. You are truly anointed by God and we appreciated all that you shared with us. I really enjoyed your ministry and feel it was probably the best retreat we¹ve ever had."

"All I've heard is comments about how refreshing and different it was this year to have our speaker illustrate her talks with these wonderful performances. It was so effective and made for a really a great day."

"I have had a lot of opportunity to work with Jim and Carol in various conferences and events around the country and they really have a wonderful talent. We had them perform during a clergy conference here at Focus on the Family and they were very well received. If you have an event coming up and you'd like two wonderful people who can address themselves to whatever issues you may be interested in, contact Jim and Carol of Acts of Renewal."

"Acts of Renewal was wonderful at our missions conference. Their drama is both very humorous and very heart moving. Many people told me that they were the best drama team that they had ever seen and that their performance spoke straight to them. I highly recommend Acts of Renewal."

"WOW! What a weekend! Your presentation made our parish appreciation dinner the best to date. People are still talking about the "Prodigal" from the Sunday service. There was not a dry eye in the house. Students for the USAF Academy Preparatory School gave your drama on relationships '2 enthusiastic thumbs up'­ a must for each class to experience!"

"People are still talking about the programming, especially the Woman at the Well. I had so many people say that the entertainment was so great, it made them want to give."

"They were real good."

"Carol brings an energetic, entertaining, and captivating message through drama that transforms the hearts and minds young and old alike. Her work is firmly grounded in biblical wisdom and understanding and her passion for the Lord is obvious. Carol allows God to use her for His great good!"

"Women are still talking about Carol's dramatic interpretation of Lot's wife fleeing Sodom in a black cocktail dress and heels. In teaching the Women in Discipleship Class of the Ariel Ministry, I found that what Carol brought to visual learners was tremendous. She enabled us to "see" what was being taught. The combination of the spoken Word and her dramatic interpretation was so powerful. I look forward to working with her again."

" "Can you believe people are STILL talking about how wonderful the Valentine’s banquet was? Our committee met for a debriefing – out of that, we were wondering whether you and Jim would consider returning for another performance next year? Our Sr. Pastor called it a home-run, a win, the level of excellence this church should be about. Again, you guys were awesome!""
