Speaking Engagements/Seminar Testimonials    

Last year Pauline gave a presentation to our Year 12 students.  It was a presentation that made a huge impression on the students.  Pauline's story is poignant, in part tragic, but at the same time it is a story of hope, of faith triumphing over adversity.  It is the story of a journey through turbulent waters culminating in a sense of being at peace with one's self and one's God that is such an inspiration for our young people.

I commend Pauline for her ability to tell it how it is, maintaining an appropriate balance between the emotion of the drama and the reality of her story.  Pauline is an excellent communicator, using a combination of clear voice, visual aids and humour.

We certainly appreciated Pauline's persentation and she comes with my highest recommendation.

Beyond The Veil
At the age of seventeen, Pauline Grogan entered the convent and seven years later took her final vows. At age 29, desecrated and bewildered, she found herself back within the secular world, having to begin her life all over again.  When Penguin Books published Pauline's Autobiography they described her book as:

"The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary New Zealand Woman - "Touching, inspirational and sometimes shocking it is the tale of survival and the triumph of love and faith in the face of abuse and apparently insurmountable odds".

A View from Within...
is Pauline Grogan's highly anticipated book about the life of James Lynch, a heroic and inspirational person who has touched many peoples lives. 

" 'A View from Within' is one of the most inspirational, spiritual memoirs I have ever read. James Lynch was indeed paralysed for most of his life, but in reading about it, I feel I have walked with a luminous spirit - one who, by acceptance of suffering, transcended it." -   Author Robert Waldren, Boston, USA
