This
is a letter of strong recommendation regarding Tammy Bennett.
I have known Tammy for
more than ten years now, having worked side-by-side during her time
at Sparrow and Warner Brothers.
Tammy is a committed
believer who lives out her faith. She has the ultimately 'can do'
attitude and lives a life of integrity with a true servant's heart.
Both a calling from God
and her personal experience has led her to a ministry to single
parents, and I believe she has valuable insights to offer the body
of Christ in this area.
Please feel free to contact
me should you have any further questions.
In Him,

"Tammy
was the director and promoter of one of our first "Song of
Solomon" conferences. She didn't miss a detail and exceeded
all expectations. If she has the same commitment for this project
it will go well.
Any resource
that will encourage parents/ex-spouses to be mature enough to be
team players for their children is greatly welcomed."

"Tammy
is a devoted Christian and dedicated mother who is always looking
for fresh new ways to help educate others in the area of Christian
co-parenting. She is committed to making a secure life for her daughter
that is full of memories filled with love from both parents who,
although live apart, work together at being the finest Christian
co-parents possible. Tammy is passionate about her belief that life
can be a positive experience for both the children and adults involved
in this situation.
This is a vital
topic that needs to be addressed in our nation. Addressing and finding
positive solutions to this subject matter will significantly benefit
educators, parents, and especially the children involved. "

"Tammy
Gallegos Bennett has inspired and impressed many with her dedication
to co-parenting her daughter in a manner that is Christ like. She
exudes Christ in her character and integrity. She values honesty
and integrity in herself and others, and is passing to others her
experiences in this endeavor. Her desire is to share what Christ
has done for her in her relationship with her daughter and former
spouse, in order that others too may find peace and contentment
in the midst of adversity.
I cannot think of anyone better to launch this organization, as
Tammy has certainly overcome the negative aspects of divorce and
allowed God to intervene in a miraculous way. She has taken a large
step of faith in this endeavor, which shows great character and
integrity. It is my prayer that this website will encourage others
to follow Christ in their relationship with their child/children
and former spouse."

"Tammy
Gallegos Bennett is a true disciple of Christ. I have known her
for many years as a professional colleague, mother, and friend.
She applies herself wholeheartedly to any endeavor and pursues it
with excellence. She has many leadership gifts yet serves with humility.
I know her to be a person of her word with boundless energy. She
is a skilled communicator who lives on balance with the Word of
God, generating impact in any setting she finds herself in.
Tammy met with me in La Jolla, CA at the onset of her divorce and
openly stated that it was her intent to see to it that her daughter
did not experience the sting of divorce with all the negative ramifications
that she endured. Fortunately her husband agreed, a distinct gift
in itself, that I feel uniquely qualifies her to address this area.
At the time, she certainly had no book idea in mind. A devoted mother,
her interests were squarely on her daughter.
Having spent more than twenty years marketing product for consumption
in the Christian marketplace I can honestly say that this is a book
that begs to be published and may prove a popular handbook even
outside the boundaries of the Christian marketplace. Tammy is a
self starter, highly motivated with a very good grasp of marketing
and promotion fundamentals...this "authentic" and unique
concept on Tammy's heart will prove to be a benefit for your organization
in ways you cannot begin to calculate today. I urge you to pursue
it."

"While
scripture makes clear that divorce is something God hates, we can’t
escape the reality that there are millions of people, including
Christians, affected by it each year. It is time to boldly face
this fact, and to provide tools that give parents much needed hope,
comfort and guidance as they endeavor to spare their children future
wounding. Christian CoParenting After Divorce is such a tool."

"In
the years that I have known Tammy she has always been such a positive
person and even though she ended up a single mom, I constantly see
her as a positive person whom is always looking ahead. Somehow she
seems to be able to work and provide for her daughter and still
remain close and involved with every aspect of her life.
I love the idea of co-parenting. It's sad to say, but many adults
think only of themselves when it comes to divorce. Somehow the children’s’
needs get put on hold or maybe even forgotten, hence children grow
up with all sorts of issues. If there is one thing I could say about
co-parenting is that our kids didn't ask for the divorce, they shouldn't
have to be the ultimate sacrifice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"As
a child of divorce whose parents were both born-again Christians
AND in the ministry, I think this sounds fantastic!! I think it's
definitely a necessary tool today."

"It
is a pleasure for me to recommend Tammy Gallegos Bennett to you.
She and I worked together for over two years, and during that time
I found Tammy to be a great worker, organizer and friend. I am excited
to see what God is doing in her life and how He is going to use
her past troubles to bring triumph to others.
Many Christians have
tasted the bitter fruit of divorce. Any solid resource would be
of help as people struggle through these difficult times. These
uncharted waters bring doubts and despair for which those who have
already passed this way can bring the wise counsel of experience.”

"Tammy
has experienced God's lavish grace in her life not only as a child
of divorce but also as a parent seeking to love her child in the
midst her own divorce. I believe God has uniquely equipped Tammy
to proclaim Chirst's message of hope, healing, and restoration.
I am asking that you partner with Tammy to see many families find
the healing that only comes through Jesus Christ."
