Hello Louie,
My name is Kelly and I volunteer at the the jail in Appleton Wis.
I am apart of the Fox Valley Jail Ministry.
First of all... Thank you so much for allowing God to use you the way he does.It's truly amazing!!!!.
I came across the DVD ( How Great Is our God)by accident. I was blown away.
The women in the jail that are involved in my studies ( The inmates) Have fallen in love with God because of this series. ( The Heart of Passion).
But my real reason in writing you today is to tell you how Ashley's life impacted one particular girl (Inmate). After watching Fruitcake and Ice cream she shared in tears how she did not realize how much God loved her till after that DVD and also how she needs to except that God forgives her and...
My wife, Jan, was diagnosed this past January with a malignant brain tumor with no known cure. I am a cancer survivor and couldn't understand why such a great person who has been with me for over 32 years and no history of any cancer in her family was suddenly going to be taken from me. What was God thinking? It shook my faith to the bone. I went to our local Christian book store searching for anything and came upon Louie Giglio's dvd series.
"How Great" was the first one I watched and it helped salvage my faith. I even showed it to our Sunday school class, which galvanized my faith even more. I subsequently bought all the rest of the series and have watched them repeatedly. I still question, "Why her and not me?" but I am at...
My landlord asked us "So are you going to buy your own home and have the American Dream". We had looked into it, but being in the Military living in Southern California on one income was not an option. But by the time we got orders to move, God had showed me that the purpose of a house is to draw people closer to Jesus,Acts 17:26&27. So with that in mind we prayerfully asked the Lord about our next place to live. We bought a home in 2006, when the market was at the all time high, we got orders to move to Alaska when the market is at the all time low,2009. We prayed hard for God's help, running out of options, God provided renters to help somewhat with the mortgage one week before the movers were coming. My kids reminded me that...
My Christian employer gave me a copy of "How Great Is Our God" in Nov. of '07. I broke out in joyous crying when I saw the picture of laminin. I've seen it several times, and I still cry at the ending, and the awesomeness of our God! He miraculously got me into Denver Rescue Mission to show it to the homeless, and they replay it from time to time. My husband was unsaved at the time it was given to me, but God gloriously saved him and delivered him from alcohol 21 years after He saved me, and it has become one of his favorite videos! How truly GREAT is our GOD!
I picked up your dvd because of the statement when life hurts the most. Grab my attention and knew I needed encouragement. I have the indescribable dvd and I wasn't aware of new dvd's were out there. So when I saw this Hope dvd I purchased it brought it home and listened, learned and hoped.
Because of events that had happened in my life I needed HOPE. I knew the message when life hurts most is what I needed. Have you ever suffered loss but death wasn't the way it happened? I have had so many events that loss has occurred it just astounds me. I didn't lose them by death I lost in a different way. A new job time loss, divorce friend loss, moving and family loss. So in trying to get a handle on these events that are life changing I...
This is the best sermon I think I've ever seen. The DVD has a ton of subtitles which suggests I'm not the only person, English speaking or otherwise, that thinks so. Faith overcame my need for logic but this sermon fed both my head and my soul...Louie is awe inspiring and more importantly, God's use of him for this message is obvious.

I needed to write to say THANK YOU!!
I actually live in Scotland. I became a Christian in the Spring of 2008, and got Baptised in Fall of last year. I had an awesome year learning about God in my life and I knew it was the way I wanted to live my life in the future.
I have had a very unsettled life, I was abused from a young age by members of my family, I then lost my mum when I was 14 which was the end of my world! I suffered badly and actually took several overdoses as I didn't see any hope! I met the man of my dreams, or so i thought, and was with him for 17 years, however my marriage actually ended a year and a half ago too....yet again, so did my life!
It has taken me a long time to reach Jesus, but last year that happened and I...
I watched two DVD’s last night from Louie Giglio. It was mind blowing. It gave us a lot to think of. How small we are and how big the Lord is that we serve.
Thanks for the wonderful message. I can’t stop talking about it, I’m telling everybody at work about your message.

Hi all! We'll today was like any other Tuesday, the team got up, got dressed and we started the day with our daily bible study in the morning. We then started to load our sound equipment into the car to make the trip to Monument Park High School in Kraaifontein in the Western Cape, where we do the CSA (Christian Student Association) period every Tuesday.
But today turned out not to be like any Tuesday before it, you could feel that God was about to to something WAY different!
We set up the sound, made sure everything was working, then we started to pray and worship for the short time we had before the period started, but I can tell you that it was AWESOME, we were praying for probably about 15-20min, but you could feel the atmosphere of...
Thought I would share about God's goodness. Two students in our youth ministry experienced a life altering loss. Abby and Logan were on vacation with the rest of their family a year ago when tragedy struck. Abby and another young girl were having fun in the ocean when a rip tide current began sweeping them out to sea. Abby's father Mike jumped into save her, and did, but was overwhelmed and lost his life while saving his little girl. The grief of a lost husband and father ran deep, very deep.
So, even though I had given their family the Hope When Life Hurts Most DVD 8 months earlier for whatever reason they never got around to watching it. They saw it for the first time at our Youth Ministry. It took off in Abby's heart.
Then a...
A High School Senior in our community was tragically killed in a car accident this week. Several of the kids in my student ministry were friends with him. It has been tough for the community, especially his friends and family. I was trying to think of what to speak on last night, and what came to mind was Hope. Then I remembered I had a DVD of your Hope Series – When Life Hurts Most. So, instead of me doing the talk – I let Louie.
7 students trusted Christ as Savior and another 10 or so recommitted their life to Christ.
Kids received Hope.

My husband and I are currently in an African country, and the way I came to see the video can only be described as a God thing.
We've struggled with the whole problem of working in a third world country, the corruption and mountains of red tape, and been very frustrated at times. But we still felt like God wanted us here.
We were home in the US for a holiday, and my sister gave us your dvd as a gift. I put it in my computer case and forgot about it. Then we returned to Africa and arrived in the middle of a political crisis. Our storage was looted and burned, so all our building supplies for the rest of the project were gone. We could only go shopping for food with an armed guard along. The project was at a standstill, and we're...
I don’t really know where to start. The music coming out of Passion has touched me, encouraged me and ministered to my heart for years. It has always resonated deep in my heart and spirit. I had never heard you speak, though, until last year. I am a science teacher now at a Christian school and last spring the receptionist told me that I had to watch this video that they had seen at their Bible study. She described the part about Laminin and I decided to have my anatomy and physiology class watch it based on her recommendation without previewing it first. I got choked up through several parts. So powerful! If there’s anything I want my students to understand is that they are designed by God for a purpose and that purpose is to...
My name is Sarah. I am 14. When I was 9 years old I started to have terrible pain. Day and night I asked God to take it away. For years doctors did not find out what was the real cause of that pain. Well, during the Spring of 2009 God showed the doctor and I had 2 surgeries on my spinal canal. I was in the hospitol at UCLA for a month. I watched your DVD "How Great is our God" I have experienced what you said! Even through these years of pain I knew that God was with me. He showed me many times that He was near to me. I gave your DVD to my Neurosurgeon. I got another "How Great is Our God" and gave it to a family who was down the hall from me in the hospital. The boy is very sick. That movie gave him great hope that God knows what...
I firstly wanted to say THANK YOU. We have been incredibly helped by Louie's talks, particularly the Hope When Life Hurts Most message. One of our children died a little while back and obviously we have found the experience extremely hard and testing. We have clung to God throughout and I scarcely know what we would have done without His care and strength, yet at times the struggle seemed too great. We so needed reminding of basic truths that we were in danger of forgetting. I remember one Sunday night where we both sat feeling totally numb. We put Indescribable on and by the end we looked at each other and acknowledged we were so small, we were in an awesome universe and yet the God of this awesome universe deigned to love, care and...
I've watched Fruitcake and Ice Cream last Tuesday for the first time and have watched it again since...I must be honest and say that I have never heard of you before - I do now and think that I have caught up quite a bit, on what's available on the net - luckily it's all good stuff LOL.
As a Christian, but not a very active-Christian (hope that makes sense), my life has been flipped over - Ashley's story is relevant to many people - and it's never too late to open the door for Jesus...For the first time I'm building a relationship with God because I want to and not because society expects me to...It's true that some churches, with all the respect in the world and I'm biting my lip, don't offer a clear understanding of how WOW it...
My husband and I had the awesome privilege of hearing the How Great is Our God message at the Chris Tomlin concert in the Fall of 2007. I must confess that I had never heard of Louie Giglio prior to that night. The message was so fresh and exciting....the best I've ever heard on how God holds all things together. The visuals on the universe, DNA, and thank God for LAMININ, made me sob with relief and joy! I finally could take hold of that concept! I always believed it, but didn't have a clue of what that looked like. Thank you! Within 2 days of the concert, I ordered 15 copies and gave them to people whom I wanted to know about God's provision and grace. I don't even have a copy of my own now. I constantly meet people who need...
I just listened to "When Life Hurts the Most." This message had me in tears; it comforted and blessed me. I lost my 18 year old son, Zach, in a freak drowning accident (he drowned in about 8-10 inches of water with half his body still on the bank-slipped and hit his head on a rock while fishing) just 5 hours after we had prayed over him and commissioned him off to Argentina, a one year mission trip. I remember praying the day that I left the emergency room when they had told us he had drowned, I prayed that God would help me to walk through this so that all people would see when they looked at me was Jesus. Those were my exact words (imagine how blessed I was to hear your sermon) and God has done that for me. He has truly shined a...
I just have to let you know that Louie's message How Great is Our God is AMAZING!!!!! I have been a Christian for many years, but this message made things very clear for me. I have played this for many people and everyone is asking for it. What a way to share the gospel!!!!! You'll have many orders from Denver, I'm sure. I lost my 6-month-old son to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and I have been feeling very down and not understanding why this has happened to my family and feeling very angry. Your words in that DVD were exactly what I have needed to hear...God doesn't always do what we want Him to do, but, you're right, He is there to hold us in His hands. Thank you for helping me better understand who my God is and how much I am...
"How Great Is Our God" dvd is very anointed. I was so moved after watching it last night at our youth services. I had been asking God to reveal another aspect of His character that I've never seen before. He did when I saw that dvd! I just can't describe the feelings that came over me. I was like Job, I told God I thought I knew Him but I DIDN'T! I just want to know Him more, He is so GOOD! God bless ya'll for making this dvd!!

What a great DVD message "fruitcake" was. It renewed my faith and just to hear the message of grace again ....how simple and how powerful. Louie's delivery was Spirit-given, as always. Just a great piece.
