FOR TRANSFORMED BY FIRE
"Dear sister, I am very proud to see how far you have come. You have given yourself to God’s service and He has formed you into a new vessel. Your beautiful gift blesses and will bless countless people who will reconcile or come to know God. You are the example of a faithful servant to her Master. I thank God for allowing me to walk alongside you throughout this beautiful blessing.
I love you very much."

Author’s sister
Thank you, Jacqueline, for writing this book that reveals that our scars are a treasure for those who allow them to remind us that we are not patched but restored, and that God uses even the harshest circumstances of life here on earth to transform us into a vessel of honor and longing with hope for our eternity with Him. I am sure that this book will bring many to the knowledge of our beloved Jesus.

What an incredible joy, my dear Jacqueline warrior of God! For His glory, many will be touched by your testimony. What a beautiful gift. Wow! All my recognition and joy!
Maria Merced Caro
Friend
"Those of us who subscribe to this note, brothers in faith and fellow servants in ministry, have seen the life and testimony that our sister Jacqueline Castillo has gone through in these last years, which demonstrate a real and palpable reflection of a transformed life.
Her testimony, without doubt, is an example that God wants to bring today for the spiritual growth of His children so that they do not become blocked or languish. We can testify that Jacqueline’s life has been under Trials of fire,
proving that it is in the fiery furnace of affliction that our lives are transformed, when we walk in faith and pour out our entire life out of love for Christ.
We do not doubt that the book 'Transformed by Fire' will impact many lives, helping through the long and difficult journey to holiness, becoming each day more like Jesus."

Jacqueline Castillo is a woman who loves God with all her heart and serves Him faithfully. She has been a great blessing in my life. I know that this book, that was born in God’s heart, will be a great blessing for many, as it shares our fidelity and the unconditional love of God towards his children.
Lilliam Gómez
Sister in Christ
"My dear Jacqueline Castillo is an admirable and faithful woman, tireless in demonstrating God's love for her brothers and sisters. A warrior who prays with the power of God for the needy. Pleasant in her speech, her spirit brings peace to others. There is no doubt that through the great trials she has gone through, God has made her a woman on fire, strengthened in the spirit.
God’s fire has made her a diamond, and her testimony honors and glorifies our Heavenly Father. I love her and respect her for her faith and loyalty to Jesus Christ, our Redeemer; and I am eternally grateful for her love, her counseling, her prayers, and her time. With much love, I bless and congratulate her for this beautiful book."
