Therapon University Testimonials
Dear Dr. Linda Ratcliff,
If the world had gotten more people like you it would have been a better place than it is now. I believe that God had used you, as an instrument of honor in His hands, to plant this Therapon University to lift His name on high and for the betterment of those who are called by Him into His Vineyard. You do make a difference in my life and Ministry. Your godly advice and support, especially during the writing of my ThD dissertation, has made me a strong and driven individual and I will forever be grateful and indebted to you for that. I do, by God's grace, express my profound appreciation and gratitude to you and the Therapon University community for supporting and encouraging me in fulfilling my educational and ministry goals. May he Lord God richly bless you all in Jesus' name. Amen!
As a graduate of your wonderful, available biblical school of theology and counseling, I would like you to know how much I have enjoyed working with you, and appreciate the opportunity to have completed my Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in Biblical Counseling with Therapon University.
For those of us who are in full time ministry, the correspondence school, along with high accountability, is greatly appreciated. We are able to complete our studies without interrupting our ministry. As you know, I have been doing pastoral counseling for over ten years. As much as I desired to complete my education, I didn't see a way, but God made a way through Therapon University.
What can I say, except two little words, "Thank you", and may the Lord continue to bless Therapon and all of you that are involved.

I am almost through with chapter 3. Linda, The Lord is using this book in changing my life, and I thank Him for that. I know that you are being led by the Lord in these courses, and I want to thank you for recommended this course (Belief Therapy).
Have a blessed day. Talk with you later.
I have a need to learn how to manage my time and praise be to the LORD God almighty that during this course he has been teaching the various aspects of even time management. But do pray for me that the word that has been sown may bring forth fruit and not be snatched away by the devil. Thanks and God bless the person who is taking the pain to educate youngsters like us. Heaven admires your work and surely you will be rewarded for your hard work.
I received my workbook and new courses today. Thank you so very much. I have mailed a $200.00 check today to be applied to my account. I can honestly say that my life has been changed and I have a deeper relationship with the Lord because of the learning experience I have had through Therapon University. My studies through Therapon University and Therapon Institute have been among the richest experiences I have ever had in my life.
I just wanted to express my gratitude to you and Therapon University for aiding me in fulfilling my educational and ministry goals. The courses have been an immense help! I know that this training will continue to aid me as I minister to the body of Christ and to hurting world around me. Words cannot adequately express my thanks. May God continue to bless you.
I have sent my workbook for "Belief Therapy" to you via priority mail. I have started on " 36 Criminal Thinking Errors".
I would suggest that you put a warning label on the Belief Therapy course that states, " Do not begin unless you are ready to take a hard look in the mirror." It was a great help to me personally and I have already had the opportunity to use some of it in my teaching at the Decatur Correctional Center, which is a State of Illinois medium security facility for women. I have been guilty of baptizing secular ideology in the past. The course totally recalibrated my thinking and it allowed me to see application in the Scripture in a way that was new. I can't wait to start in on Monday on the next course.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be a student. '
Thank you for the blessing you are to my life and my ministry. I want to be a diligent student of the Word, and glow, go, and grow. I want the Word of God to continually work mightily in me. Therapon is an excellent choice for distance learning. Thank you for all that you are doing to validate people one degree at a time.
Thank you for taking your time to teach me. I really appreciate you for what you are doing. I wish I would have found this web site sooner. I have wasted so much time of my life. I have been going to church and to the bible classes for one hour a week but that is not enough for me. I want to stay in the Word more than that and you are giving me the opportunity. I love your answers and the insights you are giving me. I feel that I am rushing too much into an answer to get into the next topic. But now according to your answers I think I will spend more time meditating on the passages to see if I can grasp as more from the message as you do.
Enclosed is the workbook for "Belief Therapy." Presently I'm working on "The Lies We Believe." What is to be my next adventure? Please send the required course work. The information from the first two courses has been invaluable. The majority of our counseling load is with recovering addicts and their families. Thank you!
Greetings, and many thanks for the message. My wife is reaping more than anyone will know from the Stop Verbal Abuse course, from which she has been a victim in the past. It is helping her to deal with much needed areas, with a new look at consequences. For her, it is not just a course for credit, but a valuable tool in re-building. She is taking her time in it, and absorbing as much as possible.
Many thanks for your continued kindness.
I cannot begin to tell you how blessed I feel to have done this paper. I must tell you that I was a little disappointed when I could not use the paper I previously wrote about women and career change. However, when you gave me the criteria, I thought I would just interject some biblical references into the previously written paper. The Lord continued to work with me. I think He had the paper in mind. I was a little overwhelmed. I decided to take your advice, even though I was not sure exactly of what you meant when you said to let the Holy Spirit guide me. Well, the Spirit did just that. Instead of just writing the paper, I became a renewed student of the Gospel constantly looking, reading and praying. I did not seem to grow tired or weary as the Word promised me that I would not.
Sister Linda, thanks for your feedback. I am honored to interact with you during this Character Builder course. Continue in your pursuit of godliness and helping God's people. You are needed. It's not by chance that I've come across the Therapon Institute and University. I thank God for you and these fine establishments. I really felt the need to tell you that. Thanks!
Thank you for letting God use you through Therapon University. I thank God every day for giving you a vision for such a school. The school has been and continues to be a tremendous opportunity for me. I don't believe we can really see or measure the impact the school has had in my life. Thank you for all that you've done and the wonderful opportunities. God bless you!
Having just finished the course Counseling Through the Seasons of Life, I am even more appreciative of the blessing it is to study with Therapon. This course made me stop and really consider my calling, and His place in it - as the course continually reminded me that all things are for His glory and honor. Again, thanks andremember you are in our prayers continually.
I just finished Belief Therapy and I will be sending you the workbook, hopefully, tomorrow. The coursework has assisted me with my web-based ministry and has been a blessing within my walk.
Thanks again for all of your help.
I have finished my workbook and will be putting it in the mail. You should be getting it soon. I look forward to getting my degree in the mail. I now feel I have accomplish a great mile stone in my life. Thank you very much for your prayers and your help. I also look forward to the masters program.
I have just completed the "His Steps" Course. I truly enjoyed the course. I plan to use much of the material in a sermon series in the congregation that I serve. I really appreciate taking courses through Therapon University. I would like for you to send me two more courses that I will be ordering today. Thank you so very much for the quality courses you offer.
Belief Therapy has been such a rewarding course for me. I thank God for Therapon University. I was not able to work as diligently as I had hoped. Two weeks after I received the course I found out I was pregnant. I've been ill most of the pregnancy so completion of the course was a challenge for me and a blessing. I would like to begin His Steps. Thank you so much for answering God's call. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to take part in this program.
Last night I read Warren Wiersbe's succinct definition of ministry: "Ministry takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God." What a description of Therapon U!
Linda, I was looking at the clock here in Phoenx, AZ, when the Lord told me that you were sending the information that I asked you about. Thank you for the information. I have been in prayer regarding this, and I knew prior to reading this e-mail that the Lord wants me to complete my credentials to serve Him at Therapon University. I am so grateful to the Lord for having this institution available for me and others.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! and God bless you many times over!
I got Belief Therapy... and opened it up - -spent a while last night flipping through it and reading parts to my wife. Originally I was thinking that I would just "blast" my way through this. I'm not going to do that. It is not right. I'm going to take my time. Work through it a section at a time, making certain that I UNDERSTAND exactly what is being learned.
Thank you for your comments on my thesis. I'm so glad I found out about Therapon University and the work you do. This process has really helped me to think through God's best for us and for those he puts in our counseling path for shepherding. You have been a true blessing to me. I hope you have a great day!
I'm so excited about becoming a counselor! I know it is God's calling for me--but I want to be as prepared as I can, so I'm grateful for your requirements. I'm so thankful Therapon exists because I'm so isolated geographically wise and I'm just not up for another move at this point in my life.
Please forgive me for being so slow in thanking you for being so prompt in sending my Bachelor's degree. I have decided to hold off just a bit to enroll in the Master's program (just a month or so). You will hear from me again soon. I really appreciate what you are doing, and your efficiency in getting it done quickly. May the Lord richly bless you!
Well, I am one step closer to my goal. Enclosed is a copy of my certificate from Dr. Carlin's Belief Therapy class. It was Great!!!!! Every pastor and Christian counselor should be required to take the class. Hope to have my paper finished in the next several days.
Linda, you are a blessing to the Kingdom! I'll pray for you. I know there is always a battle when we do the Lord's
work!
I received your response and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I discovered Therapon U by doing a web search, but now after going back and forth with all the information, I feel that our Father has led me here. Also, I believe you will begin to see Father use the school more and more to prepare His elect for service. It's quite a blessing and honor, and I'm thrilled for you. I know you will serve Him well!
Make the Word of God a curriculum focus for learning, and His blessings will be upon the students. Praise God! Continue to love Him the way you do, for He loves you so much Linda. The ministry of Therapon U will be a part of the end times to prepare God's soldiers for service against the evil one. The Holy Spirit will do the teaching.
Thank you for your assistance toward my educational endeavor, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
