“Poets and visual artists are endowed with that unique ability to communicate from the human heart with almost supernatural results. A journey through the visual and poetic world of debi Story Maddox will not soon be forgotten. I highly recommend debi’s works for their visual, cerebral and spiritual benefits.”

Dr. Charles Travis
President, Logos University, Jacksonville, FL

"I have no hesitation in recommending Michael and debi Maddox, whom I have known for over two decades. It's quite apparent the Lord of Harvest has given them a most unique ministry, especially to the fine arts community. These are Servants of God who are diligent and successful in their ministries; people of integrity, team players in the larger Body of Christ and respectful of authorities.”

Dr. Guy Bon Giovanni
Past General Overseer, General Council, Christian Church of North America, Canfield, OH

“Engaging, encouraging, biblical, envisioning, delight-filled. debi painted an entire giant panel right before our eyes. Most of us have never seen a real artist paint in their presence. Dr. Michael & Dr. debi Story Maddox energized me with all these dynamics through their inspiring workshop on the role of Visual Arts in life and ministry. They also helped me deepen my longing to become more creatively close to the Lord and more fully alive and creative in the way I live for Him. Outstanding!”

Byron Spradlin
President, Artists in Christian Testimony, Nashville, TN

“I am so proud of you, debi, and how you invest in artists wherever you are. Your art is fabulous and your relationships are your strength! It is truly a pleasure to know you!”

Ross Parsley
Sr. Associate Pastor, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, CO

"When I first observed debi's Prophetic Paintings, I was immediately struck by the overwhelming presence of God."

Dr. Morris Sheats
Founding Pastor, Hillcrest Church, Dallas, TX

"As for the debi Story Maddox (art) work displayed at the Biblical Arts Center, we thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition. Many wanted to see other works of hers! Most importantly, it was a pure joy to work with debi and her husband, Michael. They are the 'real - deal' genuine people; people of the faith. Their Christianity permeated every ounce of their lives and their work. I recommend them to all, who have an appreciation for art."

Dr. Valentine K. Robinson
Assistant Director, Museum of Biblical Arts, Dallas, TX

“I was drawn to debi the moment I met her. A woman of deep sensitivities, grace and quiet focus, debi is an artist wholly and completely. She is a lover of God and people, passionately conveying this through profound, vibrant imagery and the written word. I love her work. I'm encouraged and challenged by it. debi's art, if we let it, transforms us, connecting us with the creative life force that emptied the tomb, enveloping us in the healing embrace of the Creator. This, in essence, is the calling and purpose of all great, life-focused art - to serve as a conduit for reconciliation forgiveness and healing, giving those with eyes to see and ears to hear the amazing opportunity to go deeper. And in so doing, we dive into the roaring waters of God's love, finding life as never before. debi not only understands this, she is a master of it. She creates from the heart, inviting us to another place, - the secret place.”

Maria Pompea
Director Visual Arts, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, CO

“As in debi’s Masks Series, she reaches behind the obvious and captures the feelings and emotions that are often felt but not easily stated. Her work speaks volumes about the seer and the artist.”

Dr. Susan Adams
Director, Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts, Palmer Lake, CO

"This is the first art that we have seen in our lives that goes beyond 'paint on canvas.' It literally reaches into eternity with a vibrant depth, power, and beauty. It makes such a profound statement about life, and our lives, that truly the Holy Spirit bears witness in our hearts. The Prophetic Paintings that we have viewed are not just paintings. They have very deep spiritual meanings for a host of God's people."

Joe & Jo Hughes
Executive Directors, Equippers Group International, Euless, TX

“debi Story Maddox is one of the most creative people I have ever met. In my thirty plus years as an art educator and artist, I have not encountered many people with her passion for the arts. debi exudes a creative artistic energy in every aspect of her life. Her home is a canvas of creativity with paintings, murals, sculptures, fashion and jewelry designs, as well as the many books she has written and illustrated. The qualities that I admire most about debi are her humility and her steadfast faith in the Creator who has given all of the beauty that is experienced in life and the gift of creativity.”

Kim Yonker
2008 Teacher of the Year, Colorado Springs, CO

“I had the great pleasure of working with debi Story-Maddox during the ‘Art of Healing’ exhibit at the Business of Arts Center during February of 2009. Her paintings are wonderfully exciting- the subject matter often encompassing the spiritual and healing with so many layers and so much depth to them. Absolutely beautiful! I also found her to be a complete professional, as well. A true joy to work with. I look forward to working with her again.”

Elizabeth Szabo
Curator/ The Business of Arts Center, Manitou Springs, CO

"I enjoy debi's art, because it speaks of an inner walk. She's able to put down in her paintings the feelings that are raised in the inner chamber. Very few can do it."

Francesca Spataro

“I’ve been reading/feeling your poetry and your art, and it touches places deep within my soul. At times, it even inspired tears from my heart by the very depth of them. I have so very strongly felt and enjoyed both yours and Michael's energies the few times I have been in your company. It really is people like you both that help in feeding and nurturing me (and others). Thank you for sharing “you” through your words and art. Your love, beauty and gentleness shine through so very clearly and warmly. Your work brings even more love, peace, light and joy into my life.”

Michelle Tomasik

"Thank you for presenting Wordivore World at the Renaissance Cafe. The night was an outstanding success, one of my favorite performances at the Cafe! I had already read your book, but seeing and hearing the integrated performance really brought it to life for me. A young man wandered into the Cafe for the first time on the night of your performance and was totally blown away. Your ministry is an exciting part of how God is moving today."
