hi oh Phil this is a book I would read. I am always looking that will
nourish both my mind and hart. as to the promise keepers the organization
never held much interest for me. I currently don't have a pro or con opinion
of them. I know lots of unbelievers intensely dislike the organization. I
will read the article you wrote plus the one on grief.
as to Dave hunt I find much of what he says to be valid. I hope he realizes
that not all Pentecostals are caught up in the prosperity gospel. bonnie
