“Austin is one of the most effective young communicators I’ve heard. Our teenagers really enjoyed him when he spoke to them and our adults also thought he was great! He served us well when he was at Saddleback Church and we all felt like we made a friend!”
Doug Fields
Saddleback Church

 

“When it comes to speaking, Austin gets an “exceeds expectations!” Austin has an amazing and inspiring story to tell…so turn up the volume! He is a young man of practical experience with profound insight and enlightened common sense. Listening to him will make you think and feel you are the most special part of your work!”
Roy Rangel
President, Georgia Chapter, National MS

“Austin is an absolutely wonderful communicator. His story is compelling. I remember watching him speak at a Purpose Driven Youth conference and I was so very impressed with his ability to communicate to those students and bring them a most important message. I highly recommend the message and the messenger!”
Jim Burns, Ph.D,
President, HomeWord

“The Premier Group produces some of the largest Christian concerts and cruises in the nation. Having Austin on our Music Boat 2007 Cruise, alongside such major acts as Third Day and Nicole C. Mullen, was a highlight of the week. We’ll have him back again on a future event. You can’t go wrong by having Austin as part of your team.”
Roy Morgan,
President and CEO of Premier Productions

 

"Austin is a storyteller that knows how to transport an overstimulated generation to a place of reflection and self-discovery. I would definitely encourage colleges and other groups that work with young adults to utilize Austin's talents to help launch conversations concerning God's will and our purpose in life."
Eric E. Pratt, Ph.D.
Vice President for Christian Development
Mississippi College

 

"Whether reading his own work, or speaking on various topics from writing the spiritual autobiography to getting published, Austin Carty appeals to students. They laugh, they cry, and they relate! Austin does a concise, intelligent summary of the literary history and milieu that led to his being able to get such a book as High Points and Lows published; he’s well informed and witty, evidencing his knowledge of literature and life. I’d say he’s well worth considering as a guest speaker for large (as well as smaller) venues of students, English majors or not!
Dr. Andrea Ivanov-Craig,
Professor of English Literature and Sponsor of Sigma Tau Delta at Azusa Pacific University

 

"High Points and Lows is a marvelous book—witty, thought-provoking, and, from time to time, deeply moving. And Austin Carty is an emotionally engaging, funny, and searchingly honest speaker, particularly gifted at making his unique writer’s voice come alive. Approachable, friendly, and inspiring, Austin makes everyone—even large groups—feel at ease."
Matthew Schneider, PhD, English Chair, High Point University

 

"With authenticity and charisma, Austin Carty knows how to engage a college-aged audience. His blend of scholarly research and lively anecdotes contributed significantly to the success of our lecture series. I recommend Austin for any group that is looking for a dynamic and thoughtful speaker."
Andrew Mauzey
President, Sigma Tau Delta Engish Honor Society, Chapman University
