If you were asked to describe your life, would words like peaceful and
contented come readily to mind? Our lives are often filled with suffering, disappointments, broken relationships, fears, and depression. What hope is there for us to have peace? Listen to Tara Barthel’s sessions as we consider some of the practical, biblical ways the gospel of Jesus Christ brings real peace for real women.

Hi, There,
My name is Susan Brackley, my husband Robert and I live in New Vineyard, Maine. We have been married twenty seven years and have been blessed with six children and five grand children (so far).
I am a Christian woman public speaker and have been making myself available to speak at different churches addressing women at Ladies Seminars, Retreats and Conferences. I wanted to extend my availability to your church.
I have been a Christian for over twenty eight years and have faithfully served in our church. My husband and I are often used to counsel other people. We have taken a Christian counseling course. Over the years and presently we have done bible studies with individuals, couples, as well as small groups.
I have been doing a ladies bible study with ladies in our area for over twenty five years which has consisted of many topical studies that concern a myriad of woman’s needs such as; the woman’s role, husband / wife relationships, child training, and the like. As well as a host of other subjects that pertain to life and godliness.
The ladies that I teach everywhere have exhorted me to get out and help others with the teaching that has helped them so much. I am not a miracle worker. I’m merely a Christina woman who desires to help others grow closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. My heart yearns for those who have real life problems and need real biblical answers that offer hope and that work. It blesses me to see Christ use His Word to transform each one of our lives into His image that we may glorify Him better. My desire is that we all live a humble life, seeking the Lord’s will and redeeming our short time on this earth.
I have also taught on personal subjects such as dealing with every day life situations, giving biblical answers on depression, PMS, the change of life, (hormonal issues), jealousy, anger, unequally yoked situations, dealing with repercussions of divorce, single parenting, how to teach devotions with children, how to study the Bible effectively, communication skills, humility, real Biblical love, dealing with enemies in a right way, organizational skills, church schisms, how to deal with difficult people / relationships, etc. Sometimes we have done studies on things like, faith, different women in the Bible, salvation, heaven, finances, bitterness, prayer, forgiveness, and spiritual gifts.
I have been used to speak at Ladies Seminars / Conferences for over twenty five years. I’ve been making my self available to other churches due to the many contacts that I have in counseling different ladies from many different places. I see a great need and desire for ladies to learn answers from God’s Word that apply specifically to them.
If you are interested in having me come to speak to ladies in your church I would be honored to take some time to answer any questions you may have. Thank you so much for your time.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,
Sincerely,
Susan Brackley (207)-652-2291
