NOTICE!! This week contains a Friday;-------but next week begins with a 
Sunday.

Hello,

I AM LATER-Than usual. Promptness is a divine attribute. Draw your own 
conclusion.

GOOD NEWS-If you go to www.kregel.com and follow down by author (F. B. 
Proctor) or the date (1977) you will find the book of quotations we talked 
about last week. The current cost is $30.00. Send the $999,970.00 
difference between my price and theirs to missions. If my math is faulty, 
round off the figures to the nearest thousand.

KREGEL?-The publisher was new to several of you. Kregel is one of several 
publishers that make my past trips to Grand Rapids, MI so memorable. 
Eerdman, Baker and Zondervan are all within blocks of Kregel. Kregel may 
well be among (if not the largest) used religious bookstore in the 
world-200,000 volumes.

A NEW NAME- Crossed your mind as well. The name of Louis Paul Lehman stands 
tall as a Christian "wordsmith". Let me quote a paragraph from the preface 
to the book before us.

"What will this book do for you?
It is a masterpiece of the classification of material. Dialogue, as 
practiced by the contemporary religious and non-religious, is a drifter: it 
moves restlessly from subject to subject, it repairs no broken conviction, it 
corrects no impoverished philosophy, and it accepts too many authorities, as 
though the willingness to speak were a toga of truth. Open discussion may 
start with God's sovereignty and wind up with potty training or begin with 
the subject of marriage and end with tax write-offs." WOW! Wish I had said 
any of that.

TEN BEST LIST-I opened a "can of worms here". My list of twenty-five was 
interesting as I viewed it. There were interracial tones-three blacks and a 
native American. There were international tones-three Canadians, a Welshman 
and an Englishman. There were interesting variations in 
denominationalism-Pentecostal to Presbyterian. Here they are-alphabetically. 
W. J. Ern Baxter, Jack Hayford, Howard Hendricks, Benjamin Hunt, John 
Maxwell, Frank W. Smith, Johnny Wade Sloan, Howard Sugden, Warren Wiersbe and 
J. Floyd Williams. If my name is on your list, remember that perjury is a 
sin and not just a crime.

BY PHONE-To one of you this week. We spoke about Romans 6:23. "The wages 
of sin is death". How many righteous relationships and noble aspirations 
perish because of sinfulnees Three thoughts rise--Wages Very High 
Guaranteed paid in full. Not always settled each Friday. The "gift of 
God" is "abundant life" John 10:10.

THAT'S ENOUGH
His,
Ron Krantz
