Passionate, knowledgeable, servant-hearted
"Cessilye is passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to Jesus and calling believers to a consistent pro life ethic. Armed with statistics, life experiences, and the scripture she will not hold back the truth and calls for action. Additionally she is servant-hearted as seen in how she pours her life into her family and local church."

Someone who cares with her whole heart
". . .I first met Cessilye five years ago, when we were both invited to speak at a panel entitled “Why can’t a feminist be pro-life?” Cessilye was one of the speakers brought in to support the “pro-life feminist” viewpoint, and I – at that time a freelance reporter and author of books about abortion rights – was supposed to disagree. Instead of disagreeing with each other, we found that we actually had more common ground than any two people on that panel. . ."
