“Many thanks to Bruce Etter. He has enabled aging eyes to see eternal truths penned in classic literature. As adults who bring seasoned lives to the 'classroom', we are consistently blessed by Bruce's faithful, wise, and engaging instruction. Bruce’s experience, passion, and insight illuminate the collision of the great literary works of the past with the all-encompassing Biblical narrative and masterfully exposits applicable lessons for our lives, the lives of our children, and the generations that follow. May we never stop learning...and may Bruce never stop teaching!”

As an English teacher and homeschool educator, I treasure the epiphany moments that come from discussions of excellent literature. The Alyosha Society is an effortless meeting of minds - a convenient circle of kindred spirits, all there simply for the joy of learning. We delight in words, celebrate connections, recognize humanity, and deepen our own faith. It is a joy akin to family reunion.”

“Bruce makes great literature come alive by bringing historical & cultural context into focus and uncovering significance in symbolism I otherwise would have missed - all while keeping the biblical framework in view. Most importantly, the question ‘Why does this book matter?’ is always enjoyably and satisfactorily answered in Bruce’s class. A literature class with Bruce Etter is time well spent!”
