Here is a letter from a satisfied customer:

This year, I went back to teaching art in the public education system after 13 years of staying home to school my family. It was a huge adjustment going back into the work force. Trying to effectively teach, take care of my family and creating all the new media that now goes along with teaching such power points, visual graphics, online lessons, and homework was beginning to overwhelm me. I then remembered using an amazing program for my now 17 year old called Visual Manna. I decided to see if there was anything that the author of the curricula, Sharon Jeffus, had that might help me now. It was like God was answering a prayer. Pre-created PDF’s and power points to use in my class, wonderful lesson plans that sparked great ideas and Sharon even made time to talk one on one with me over Skype about ideas for a particularly hard class that I am teaching. I am happy to say that even this class has gotten better and has started enjoying the fun lessons that Sharon suggested. Without Sharon’s help, my classroom would be even more out of control and I would be without hope. I thank God and Sharon both for the blessing of this curriculum.
