Comments: "About a year ago, I was in an extremely abusive relationship. The man I was with was threatening to take my life, and although I was several months pregnant I was finally able to get away from him and try to start my life over. I had no place to stay and no money, and was forced to change my identity in order to protect myself. I eventually found myself living in a shelter for pregnant and abused women. Dejected and alone, carrying a child that I was afraid would turn out like its father, I had little hope for the future. But on the wall at the shelter was an amazing picture of Jesus by Bette Myers. As I looked at the face of Jesus and his beautiful eyes, I began to feel a sense of renewed hope and optimism. I wanted to find out about the picture and the artist, but nobody could tell me anything about it. After my (adorable!) child was born, a friend of mine introduced me to a wonderful, local church. The first time I attended, I was amazed to see the same, large picture of Jesus on the wall, and many different sizes for sale in the bookstore. The pastors and the members of the church were very loving, and knowing my situation, 'adopted' me into the congregation. When the pastor gave me a framed picture of the Masterpiece as a gift, I was happy beyond description! I am forever grateful to my new family - this beautiful picture has changed my life!"

Comments: "Several years ago, I came across a small version of this picture that I placed in my car for protection and encouragement. As the years went by, I found myself drawn more and more to the Masterpiece, and also found that the more I focused on the face of Jesus and the unconditional love so evident there, the better my life became. Doors began to open up for me, and I began to experience spiritual blessings that are almost indescribable. Several months ago, I purchased the large (15x30) print to place in a meditation room that I'd created. As time went by, even my career was completely changed in a positive way. I had been in the maintenance field for 30 years - suddenly I found within myself an overwhelming desire and ability to write. I left my job several months ago to pursue this new passion, and am currently creating works in the spiritual/fantasy/self-help genres. This beautiful and inspiring work is life altering - God Bless you for helping to make The Masterpiece available to the world!"

Comments: "I bought the laminated Jesus picture to place in my car, and it has had a profound effect on me! I used to be very uptight and stressed while driving, and now, when I look at Jesus' face I find that I am much calmer and more relaxed. Traffic no longer seems to bother me, and I feel protected and at peace. Thank you so much!"

Comments: "I've been searching since 1994 for the artist of this portrait of Jesus. This image has changed my life. Here is my story:

I was living in Connecticut from 1984 to 1998. In 1994, I was driving along a freeway in Connecticut when I felt I was led by the hand of God to go into a building that I had never been in. I can't explain how strong this feeling was. It was a printing company or an office supply building. I went in and no one was around and I went over to the printing area. As I stood there alone, I remember asking my angels or asking God, "Why was I guided to come in here?" Minutes later, a man walked in who looked like an apostle, long hair, beard and came over the counter opposite where I was standing and pulled out this image of Jesus and laid it on the counter. He looked at me and stared right at me and never blinked, put the picture on the counter and walked out without saying a word. I honestly felt that Jesus had meant for me to see this and the eyes were mesmerizing to me. It's as if I remembered how Jesus looked or had a past life with him. It's exactly how I remembered him. Finally, someone came out of the storeroom and I asked her if she knew who this man was that just left and she had no idea. I asked if she could make a copy of the print for me. There was no signature on it, no copyright, nothing. She did and I hung it in my meditation/prayer room.

I moved to Illinois in 1998, bringing the picture with me and hung it in my prayer room there. One evening while in meditation, I was staring at this amazing portrait and Jesus stood in front of me and blessed my hands. He said, "Many suicidals will find you". From that point on, it was as if the floodgates had opened. I'm a spiritual counselor now and have seen over 3,000 clients and try to get them to see another perspective and to find their gifts so they can be productive in the world. Jesus told me in that visit that many women he taught would find one another again and to get the simple message of love again out to the world, to be "Wayshowers" and to "teach by example". I've painted angels since 1994 and have given up everything to so my God work now and never looked back. I now run large spiritual seminars to help uplift people and do motivational talks around the U.S. My website is: www.angelic-art.com.

I also paint with my bare hands and for detail only use flower stems, twigs, crushed minerals in my art. It's as if the art is channeled just as it was with Bette. I am forever grateful for having this image come to me. Bless Your Hearts for keeping this image alive in Bette's memory. I was recently guided to make His oil: Jeshua oil that was channeled to me and these are the oils he used during his time. I'm looking into making a line of soy candles using the ingredients I was given by him.

PS: In the visit that night from Jesus, he said "This is how I want to be remembered, not the suffering, gaunt Jesus with the crowns and blood on my face." This is the face of Hope, of Love. Attached is a picture of me with my newest global art piece, "Unity" where I collected threads from all over the world and incorporated them into one painting to help humanity."

Comments: "When I was very young, around the age of 5, I went upstairs to my mother and father's room to ask my mom to fix me breakfast. As I went upstairs, Jesus appeared to me in the hallway. I have always wanted to tell people what I saw, what Jesus looked like, and one day, Jane Crouch, from the TBN Christian TV network, was giving away Bette's painting of Jesus as a love gift. I wrote TBN, and they sent me a copy of it....and I am so glad they did, so I can show all my friends and family what I saw, when I saw Jesus appear to me when I was a little boy. I even called Bette Myers one day and told her my story on the phone, and she told me the whole story, about how she came to paint the picture. That was a day I won't forget either. Thanks Bette, for painting the picture-the wonderful portrait of our Lord Jesus. We will see soon, someday."

Comments: "I have a printed copy of the Masterpiece and I show it to everyone. I tell people: "This is MY JESUS". It took me a few years to actually purchase a real one for myself. Things kept coming up. I finally decided it's now or never and I just did it for myself. I'm looking forward to having it matted and framed. The license plates on my 2 cars state: MY JESUS, and - JESUS! I'm not shy about my love for Him. Most importantly, it's about being Him to others. It's not what we say it's what we do that counts. We sometimes forget to see humanity through the eyes of Christ.

Have a great day and God Bless!"

Comments: "I was looking for a Christmas gift for a friend and was in a local Christian bookstore. I saw this painting of Jesus' face. There were two, the 8X16 and the 15x30, both framed. I was mesmerized. I decided to ask at the counter, who the artist was. I found the website to see if there were other pictures, but there wasn't. So I went back the next day, and both had been sold, to everyone's disbelief. Back to the website to look for a phone number. Through that effort, I found Anne. She had one left, and because she was local we agreed to meet. I hung that picture in my bedroom.

Let me tell you, I had no idea of the impact that was going to have on my life. I had invited Jesus into my home. It was just unreal. I felt He was actually there. Like I could know Him now in an ever so more personal way. And it grows! I have such a sense of peace in front of that picture that I can not get anywhere else.

So get this. I find one more framed picture--the only one left in all of Phoenix--at the Christian store. (Now I can still send one to my friend for Christmas.) But I decided to hang that one too until shipping time. Here's where it gets really wonderful. I hung the picture in the living area where I can see it from the kitchen and dining area too. Now it's as if God lives here. I wake up in the morning and say, "Hi Jesus!". I never did that before... and He says, "Hi Mike!", and smiles. Thank you Bette, and thank you Anne. And thanks for reading."

Comments: "Hi Anne!

A few days ago I had called you to check the status of my order. I just wanted to let you know that I have now received that order.

What a marvelous picture! What a Masterpiece! I never grow tired of looking at it! I have wanted this picture for some time, and I'm really delighted to have finally bought one! I used to have a smaller one many years ago, and I gave it to someone who really enjoyed it. I have been missing it ever since! You can really see the love and kindness in His eyes!

May the Lord comfort, bless, heal, protect, and provide for you and your family, friends, and loved ones always Anne! And thank you for the free gift!

Your satisfied customer,
