” There are speakers who are knowledgeable, and then there are speakers who are knowledgeable, engaging, vivacious, use humor, and are passionate about their topic. Catie Frates is all of these things and then some! I’d sit through any and all of Catie’s lectures, read any book she writes and possibly should start a fan club for her! All kidding aside, you will find I am not alone. Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Catie as I have will attest for her integrity and her ability to convey the message about God’s creation with passion and love.”
