Hi Donna, John and Everyone,
I also believe in Miracles, and I know there are other stories about
those who have seen Angels and Jesus, and I will not let this
unfortunate thing stop me from believing in Miracles and The Super
Natural, and Near Death experiences that are for real.
I wonder if Christian Book Distributers will also pull it, as that is
where I bought that book called The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven, on CD.
It's a shame that someone had to do this just to make the Prophetic
relm look bad, when in fact, it's good when it's real.
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
