The following are excerpts of just a few of the thousands of notes and letters we have received from across the United States and around the world.
Must Have Resource
Your Fasting for Sensitivity and Power book is certainly one of the best straight forward and biblical resources I have encountered to date. A member of the program here briefly shared his copy with me – a must resource to have and to share with others. I praise God for you as my journey has been difficult, yet full of God’s grace!
T. B., Texas
Out of the Park
You knocked it out of the park. A lot of people were talking about your sermon and how it was opening their eyes to the deceptions we are facing. I think you got it beautifully across to the church. For many it may be the first time they actually even thought about it.
Turn Around
Overcoming Sexual Immorality was so real it took me a day’s journey to read your whole book and confirm the quoted verses. This book gives me a total turn around.
Useful Literature
At the entrance of a church I visited last week was some Christian literature displayed on a table. I was told it was provided by Bill Rudge Ministries! You cannot imagine the happiness in my heart knowing that God has carried my path to this church to come across these USEFUL literatures, as people literally swamped around the tables to get a look at them.
Evangelist M. O., Nigeria
God’s Promise
Thank you so much for sending your God’s Promise tracts! A church in Roanoke uses them for their street and homeless ministry. The pastor’s wife used her last one and is begging for more because the tracts bless everyone who receives one! Thanks for bringing God’s word to the world!
S. K., Hands For Christ, Virginia
Self-Defense
I read Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective by Bill Rudge. Awesome book. I am requesting more books by Bill.
Let’s Roll America
Hi Bill, I am a firm believer that God brings people together at the right time to share His word and to do His work! I wanted to start with a strong message on faith! I prayed about it and felt you would bring that message of strength. I can’t thank you enough for being a part of the inaugural event of Let’s Roll America. We are already planning for 2022 and I hope you will consider coming. Your message was powerful and on point. We were blessed to have you!
J. H., Founder, Let’s Roll America
State Prison for Women
Brother Bill, I am the Prison Ministry Pastor supporting the Faith and Character Program at State Prison for Women. We have 100 inmates who are seeking Christian training materials. I am asking for 25 copies of your book, Reaching Your Maximum Potential.
J. W., Georgia
Overcoming Sexual Immorality Book
I recently acquired a copy of Bill Rudge’s book through Jesus People, Sacramento, CA. The book is Overcoming Sexual Immorality (not the reason I’m in jail). I love the book because it reminds me to put myself in my place. It’s a fantastic book with some cheerful testimonials, too! It’s a topic that would have made me queasy before, but is absolutely necessary for any adult – God fearing or not!
C., California
County Correctional Center
Dear Bill Rudge, I recently finished Overcoming Sexual Immorality. It was a wonderful book and really hit home to something I’ve struggled with for many years. I read the book in about 4 hours, but plan to read it again soon expecting there is something beneficial I may of missed. I am currently reading your book, Not Our Father’s Faith – another excellent read.
K. B., New Jersey
Bledsoe County Correctional Complex
I am finding it difficult to fully express the gratitude that I have for all of you at Bill Rudge Ministries. Thank you sooooo much! There are a total of 2,500 inmates here with only three Chaplains. The resources that you so graciously donate go a long way in helping us share the Gospel and make disciples. Thanks for equipping our men and women to fight for all of those things that pertain to life and godliness.
G. W., Tennessee
Like a Spider Spins a Web
Bill, I and my colleagues read your book The Last Days. You are very good to string words together in this book like a spider spins a web, which makes it easier to understand and clears away confusion. You have a special gift from God in putting all the articles together in your newsletter that takes one around the Bible. Well done! Please send Not Our Father’s Faith book so we can use it to teach others. Very harsh situations in this country are increasing. Thank you for helping fellow workers with Gospel literature for soul winning.
Pastor J. O., Love Truth Christian Ministry, Nigeria
Wake-Up Call
Hi Bill, Just a note to say I listened to your Revelation series the other day. Wow – you can see how everything is falling into place much like you said. I think things are happening fast. What a wake up call to all. Thanks
T. B.
Leaving a Legacy
Dear Bill & Karen, Thank you so much for your prayers, calls and concern in our lives. I know the sacrificial life you lead and serve God in good times and in bad. You are leaving a wonderful legacy that only Heaven will reveal.
C. G., Pennsylvania
West Hill to the World
Karen and Bill, I think of you both often, and the early days. I’ll never forget standing by my locker with you Karen, asking you to go to church. I’m happy you did. I’m so proud of you Bill, from the West Hill to the World. Jesus knew who He was choosing.
A. R., California
Overhearing Passenger On Bus
I received your email address from a lady who was inside a passenger bus teaching from Bill Rudge’s literature to those who were seated while the bus was enroute to a nearby town. Thereafter I was convicted of my sins and so received Jesus as the Lord and the Savior. Would you send me your free book Who Is This Jesus? to help me get further information about Jesus Christ, who died on the cross so that I can be saved!
A. E., Nigeria
Because of Your Generosity
I recently had written to your ministry to request Bill’s book, Overcoming Sexual Immorality. To be honest, I was unsure how my request would be received due to personal financial constraints, but I was completely taken off guard when my name was called during mail call and I was handed not only the requested book, but others as well. Hallelujah! I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for this blessing. This material certainly will not go to waste. I have been studying the material myself, which has provided me with areas I need to personally develop more. I am also going to ensure that the brothers in our community here take advantage of your blessing. I am on a daily mission to better myself and reflect the image of my Savior, and I take this very seriously. I am glad that there are ministries like yours that are willing to share the Good News of the Messiah from the heart. I want you all to know that I count myself blessed because of your generosity. Thank you and Shalom.
J., Federal Correction Center, Virginia
Grateful For “Showing Up For Us”
Bill and Karen. The ways that you both faithfully showed up for us is something we are abundantly grateful for. The phone calls, messages on our Caring Bridge site, and most of all the prayer support you have will always be something that has left a lasting impression on us. I’m also filled with such gratitude with how you took time to pray with my parents on the somber day in which my brother and I took Mom to see Dad at the hospital for their final moments together on earth days before Mom went to be with Jesus, Bill. God beautifully orchestrated that moment and I know for a fact that my parents were grateful for you being there and to have you pray with and over them during such a hard time. I simply can’t thank you both enough. I couldn’t let another day go by without reaching out to convey my gratitude to you both. Thank you for the gift of friendship you bestowed to my dear parents. And thank you for faithfully praying for our family as a whole as Mom and Dad were ushered home to be with Him! Praising and thanking God for you tonight and asking for blessings to continue to be yours as you pursue more of Him and work fervently for the cause of Christ!
Blessings, J. B. M.
Good Teaching
Dear Bill and Karen, Just wanted to write to say that my wife and I recently read two of your books together: “Not My Father’s Faith” and “Maximum Potential in Christ.” Enjoyed both studies very much, and it’s a joy to dig into good teaching with my wife. I search for good material to supplement our Bible study to grow deep in Christ, and then to live more dedicated to Him. Thank you for your ministry, preaching, and writings!
D. and J. L., Vermont
I Appreciate
Dear Bill, It was such a pleasure to talk with you and learn more of your ministry. I really value your time and appreciate your knowledge and wisdom that you shared with me in how to get my ministry operational. It’s exciting and solemn at the same time to see how God is going to direct my ministry. I look forward to meeting again. Thank you so much.
C. K., Ohio
Extreme Generosity
Bill Rudge Ministries, Thank you so very much for your extreme generosity. I received your package with all those books, pamphlets, and that gorgeous Study Bible; what a beauty! Unfortunately the cops had to do some surgery on it and take the hardcover off, but after reconstructive surgery on my part she’s as beautiful as ever. When my name was called I was wondering what could this small box be and I was nervous. As the officer got to the contents inside I saw your name and was relieved. Even the cop was a bit hesitant to cut out the hard cover but he must do his job. YAHWEH indeed is good and has given me a very useful tool to enhance my biblical knowledge and understanding as I begin my spiritual journey until I achieve maturity. And He has used you to help me. I’m so thankful to Him and to you. God bless you and your ministry many times over. The scripture says that we are to support those who feed us the Word. You have given me valuable biblical and spiritual knowledge that will help me become more mature in my spiritual walk. I’m sending you a small donation. I know it is not much, but I also know that Yeshua will multiply it many times in your hands.
R., Valley State Prison, California
Your Ministry is Amazing
Hi Bill, Your ministry is amazing. I just perused your website. Great content! I just printed off your overview of Revelation. I read your article on when terrorism will end…so true. One of the most poignant moments for me while in Israel was the realization that it seems like most Jews want peace above all things. Amazingly, it seems they want it at any cost. Everywhere I went they incessantly talked about peace, peace, peace…Then, it dawned on me, this is how the Antichrist will be able to negotiate with Israel. He will simply offer them what they want more than anything else…peace. It was a blessing meeting you at the Dutch Embassy. I pray God our paths cross again. In the meantime…BLESSINGS!

Faithful to God’s Word
Thank you for the materials you give away. I have been blessed by them. I know it takes monies to publish and send them out. You preach a message that is Gospel truth, no pretense. I give to your ministry because you are faithful to God’s Word.
P. B., North Dakota
Still Impacting My Life
BJ, Your message on Facebook had me in tears. I think about you often because you were always trying to guide me and I was too stubborn and prideful to see your message. I would like you to know that I found GOD and am in a great church in Virginia. I felt so moved by your message that I felt I had to let you know that you are still impacting my life! God bless you!
M. M., Virginia
Great Blessing
I am thankful to Bill Ridge Ministries for your faithful prayers, books and booklets which are a great blessing to us here.
Dr. A. C., New Bombay, India
So Educative
BJ, your newsletter article, “Why Do Bad things happen?”, is so educative in understanding God’s Word! Thank you so much and God bless you and your ministry so you can continue to be a blessing to the body of Christ.
C. E., Nigeria
Following a Tragedy
I am writing to ask permission to share BJ’s blog “Looking for Light in the Darkness Following a Tragedy”. I am currently running an Upward Basketball Program at a church in Albuquerque and would really like to share your message as a devotion at halftime. Before this, I was Head Athletic Trainer at Grove City College (PA) for 32 years. My career ended abruptly due to an unknown genetic heart condition. In fact, I was in the area the week of the accident and funerals. I believe your message is powerful and others might re-think their everyday living.
K. E., New Mexico
World Literature Outreach
We received the package of Bill Rudge Ministries’ books and CDs. Our prayer is that Almighty God be with you, your family, ministries and all the donors with you as you are spreading His Gospel all over the world. There are great changes in our lives both physically and spiritually through reading your books and newsletters. All your Gospel materials are classic. Please send us more books for our lending library where hungry souls are feeding daily.
Professor N. L., West Africa
Gold Standard
Dear Bill, We appreciate your love for the Lord and your whole-hearted service to Him. We also appreciate your openness and transparency. I am preparing a letter to advise a young woman who heads up a non-profit for deaf children in Haiti. I look at your financial policy as the gold standard. We listen as often as we can to your radio messages. I appreciate your ministry.
D. R., Ohio
Example to Many
Bill, I know you have the love and support of a million people because you have touched a million people. I know you, and you make something positive out of everything. You’re such an example to so many.
P. B., Pennsylvania
Society Turns Its Head
Greeting from the “Inside” society. Thank you for the great book, Overcoming Sexual Immorality, by Bill Rudge. Very kind of you and rare as most of society turns their head as the word prisoner is said or used – especially ones with sex charges.
C. S., California
Overcoming Giants
I am incarcerated at the Gatesville Prison. I read Overcoming Giants in Your Life and loved it. I never heard about Bill Rudge until I read your book that was passed to me. So I decided to write you personally to see if you can send me one of your books that I can keep so I can refer back to it when I need encouragement. I greatly appreciate this and look forward to hearing from you. God Bless you,
E. R., Gatesville, Texas
Taming of Godzilla
I really enjoy reading your newsletters. Most of all I enjoyed reading Taming of Godzilla because Bill lived a life like mine and he changed his life around. It’s very, very encouraging. Please pray that I grow in my walk with our Lord and remain strong upon my release in February 2019 and finally stay out of prison for good.
J. W., California
BRM Books Point South Carolina Inmates to Christ
Columbia International University’s Prison Initiative in South Carolina prisons is among many who have used Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ to train inmates. They requested 750 copies of Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ and other books by Bill and BJ Rudge to train inmates to live in accordance with biblical principles and equip them to minister to others right where they are located.
The men in the program find your materials to be extremely valuable. Your book Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ proved to be very useful and a great tool. We are out of the supply you sent. We will be happy to receive any and all that you can send. Graduation day was a big day and the story was carried by television all around the state – and to many parts of the nation by newspaper. Thank you.
D. O., Director Columbia International University Prison Initiative, Columbia, South Carolina
I am currently a student of Columbia International University. Following my graduation, I will be sent to another institution. I plan to supplement the services of the chaplain’s office by providing a discipleship program. With your permission, I would like to use your books as a supplemental text to teach various topics. Thank you in advance.

Incarcerated Minister Learning to Overcome Sexual Immorality
I am 31 years of age and currently incarcerated at Ouachita River Correctional Unit in Arkansas. I was sentenced to nine years in prison for second degree sexual assault. I am taking advantage of this time to correct my problematic thinking and behavior patterns. For years, I have struggled with sexual immorality, and as a young minister of the gospel, I had every opportunity to rely on the Word of God as a guide for deliverance, strength, healing, and to conquer the war that raged in the battlefield of my mind. I make no excuses for my actions and take full responsibility for the hurt and harm I have caused my victim and her family – as well as my family and those who were/are connected to me.
Bill Rudge’s book, Overcoming Sexual Immorality, has been a blessing to me. Thank you for hearing and obeying the voice of God. My wife mailed Bill’s book to me. There are good nuggets in Overcoming Sexual Immorality. I have found the things Bill said to be true and effective. Because of your obedience and willingness to write this book, I have been able to use more effective tools in my journey to complete freedom. May God continue to use you and bless you for your obedience.
A. L. P., Jr., Arkansas
Wish I Knew You Before Prison
Thank you for sending me your newsletter. I only wish I had gotten to know you before. I can’t send money but I do have you in prayer.
J. M., United States Penitentiary, Arizona
Faith Through the Fire Touches Inmate
I am incarcerated at the Mercer County Jail. BJ’s book, Faith Through the Fire was great. I remember BJ. I played soccer for Sharon High and also George Junior. I am trying to turn my life around and am a recovering addict to cocaine. I would like more of your books.
L. P., Pennsylvania
California Inmate Inspired By Giants Book
I was born in East Los Angeles. I am 36 years old and serving a hefty sentence. When your book Overcoming the Giants in your Life was first given to me I sort of blew it off because it was all torn and badly beat. Yes, I was judging it by the cover. What’s funny, an ex-skinhead gave it to me with a little note asking me to please not give up! Finally, I started reading your book – awesome! What inspired me is your discipline. It takes discipline to be obedient! Being in prison is hard at times – people mistake the Bible for a weakness much like Paul (1 Timothy 1:15). I appreciate you for crossing my path. I want to be a doer not a sayer. Talk is cheap, let’s lead by following Jesus. Your book has helped me a lot. Please forward a copy to my wife who accepted Jesus as her personal savior. Brother in Christ Jesus I love you, keep strong.
A. J. E., California
Former Prisoner Has Leadership Position in National Ministry
Bill, Thank you for your ministry and its impact on me. Sitting in a prison in Chino, California from 1997 – 2000 I read many of your books and newsletters and listened to many of your radio programs. To God be the glory! Only He can change lives.
L. G., Texas
Jail Is A Place Where God Gets Our Attention
Bill, I’m serving a four year sentence. During my incarceration I gave my life over to Christ. Jail is a place where God can deal with certain individuals such as myself who lived as a career criminal. None of the fleeting pleasures of the world brought true happiness, but made me more miserable by the day. God softened my heart towards Him by allowing me to learn the hard way. So my incarceration was actually a blessing in disguise, because this is where God got my undivided attention. I read your book, Beware, Deception & Delusion in the Church, and God used it to open my eyes. It inspired me to evaluate all things in light of Scripture. Also, thank you for your awesome book Spiritual Warfare and Victory in Christ. It came at perfect timing. Being incarcerated around inmates and correctional officers who have no fear of God, and being separated from my wife and kids is difficult to bear. Your book encouraged me as God spoke in so many ways through it. May God expand your ministry for His glory.
T. M., State Prison
Maximum Potential Book Impacts Inmate
I just finished reading Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ, and am sitting here all watery-eyed because the power of the Holy Spirit convicted me through your book. I have spent over 20 years of my life incarcerated and I am about to be released this December. I have read many Christian books but never, I mean never, have I read a book so powerful. I have never even heard of you, but God knew what I needed. I am a 47 year old black male from Ocean City, New Jersey. I was a good athlete, grew up in an upper middle class family, and graduated from college, but I got caught up in the love of money and put it before God. Again, your book is the most powerful Christian book I have ever read.
K. G., Pennsylvania
Prisoner Touched by Jesus and Giants Books
Wow. I am sitting here in my cell with tears in my eyes again. I write ministries and never hear from them, but God put Bill Rudge on my heart after I read a book by him entitled Reaching Your Maximum Potential. I would like to thank the couple whose love offering to Bill Rudge Ministries enabled them to send me two additional books by Bill, Who Is This Jesus? and Overcoming the Giants in Your Life. These two books had me so caught up in the reading that I missed chow twice. God touched your heart to send me this package of blessing. I never met a ministry that teaches the Word of God uncut like Bill Rudge.
K. G., Pennsylvania
California Man Needs Burmese Translation of Jesus Book
I recently led a young man who is from Burma to the Lord. Sonjeer is such a beautiful example of a man who has his first love daily –– he is out walking with tracts sharing in his broken, almost impossible to understand, English. I would like to give him a copy of your book Who Is This Jesus? in Burmese. I have spent hours showing him that Jesus is the only way to heaven. While he accepts the words I read and speak to him I know if he was able to read your book Who Is This Jesus? in his language it would be so much easier to explain. Thank you and bless your ministry.
M. B., California
Iowa Department of Corrections
Thank you for sending the monthly newsletter you so graciously provide and the wonderful Christmas card. It’s nice to be thought of by people on the outside. I know you do much for many and probably aren’t thanked as often as you should be. God bless you all!
D. G., Iowa
Books throughout South Carolina Prisons
Brother Bill: I received your March Newsletter today and was encouraged by what I read; your books are being sent from coast to coast here in America. I was aware of the shipment to Columbia, S.C. as I visited there, but what you don’t know is that they are being moved all around South Carolina. I visited a maximum security prison in Bishopville, S.C. and guess what, your books are there also. The inmates transport them when they are moved (Isaiah 55:11) so true. May God bless you, your family and staff as our redemption draws nigh. Yours in Christ
Pastor W. C., Mizpah Baptist Church, South Carolina
Female Prisoner in New Mexico
I am a prisoner at a New Mexico State Penitentiary. A sister in Christ allowed me to use her book, Fasting for Sensitivity and Power. I used it for my very first true fast. What an awesome blessing to understand motives and the phases of my fasting and prayer methods. My friend has since been released. Would you PLEASE bless me with a gift of this little but mighty book. I would be eternally grateful.
T. B., New Mexico
Utah State Prison
Bill Rudge’s books have been passed around among the inmates and it has been brought to my attention to ask for a donation to our chapel-lending library so more of the men may have an opportunity to study your material. This particular unit is also the womens’ prison, so they too have access. We have no funding for such things so they asked that I write your ministry.
The inmates have expressed their thankfulness and have asked that I forward their Christian love to you. Your books have made a great addition to the library. The inmates have a very high opinion of your insight into the Word of God. We welcome any future materials you are able to donate.
All of us express our gratitude and love for your service in the Lord. May God continually bless the efforts of your ministry. We deeply appreciate your help.
Chaplain B. F., Utah State Prison
Touched By “Reaching Your Maximum Potential…” Book
I have spent all but 5 months of the past 11 1/2 years in prison. While in prison, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was very sincere and made tremendous changes in my life. I borrowed your book, Reaching Your Maximum Potential In Christ. Reading through I was blessed by its messages. It addressed many of the shortcomings that led to my fall and explained what I must do to overcome, correct, and prevent them. I’m quite impressed with the straightforward, Biblically sound, and sincere approach of your ministry.
You have no idea how much your response means to an individual in my situation. For example, several years ago I had written to approximately ten different churches. I asked for nothing other than some guidance and hoped for a response. How many responded to my letter? … not a single one! The total rejection was hurtful. So, when I received such a personal and sincere response as the one you shared, it was quite a blessing!
C. A., Huntingdon, Pennsylvania
I Wish I Had Accepted Your Messages
Since this is my second time in jail, I am most likely going to be locked up for a while. Through all I have done, stories unlimited, I have always remembered your family and the love you willingly showed me when I let you. To me you are some of the greatest people ever to enter my life. I wish I had gratefully accepted your messages when I was younger.
J. W., Pennsylvania
Testimony and Maximum Potential Book Having Impact
I am currently in a youth correctional facility in the Chino area. The tape you sent was a blessing. You have such an awesome testimony. I shared it with one of the sergeants and one of the secretaries. They enjoyed it. Also your book, Reaching Your Maximum Potential In Christ, was awesome. All the Christians here should read it. I have two copies going around right now. I can see the impact it has on people. You have been a blessing to me and many others here.

Belgian Wants to Translate “Who Is This Jesus?” Book
I am a citizen of Belgium near the end of a five-year prison term in the United States Federal System. I am scheduled to be released and should return to my country of Belgium. Throughout my five years, your newsletters and various publications were a blessing of tranquility. I want to sincerely thank you for the appropriateness and accuracy of facts and information used to substantiate your conclusions. For your honesty and gift of persuasion, I most graciously thank you. I was so intrigued by your book, Who is This Jesus?, that I now respectfully ask permission to translate it in the Dutch language. God Bless.

Lending Library in Utah Prison
Your books and audio messages have been passed around among the inmates and it has been brought to my attention to ask for a donation to our chapel-lending library so more of the men may have an opportunity to study your material.

We welcome any future materials you are able to donate.

Former Muslim in Guyana
I was born a Muslim. In my younger days I never gave the Bible a chance. I was a man without self-control and I ended up on drugs and alcohol. I lost my daughter and son. It was in prison I read the Bible and offered my life to Christ. I became a changed man. Bill, I listened to your message and every word is true. Your message on courage healed me completely. Now I have the “courage to stand alone” and I pray every day. I was left to die in prison and I gave my soul to Christ and I lived.
M. H., Guyana, South America

Texas Prison Chaplain Appreciates BRM Books
We received the box of books Bill Rudge Ministries sent for our Chapel Libraries, and we want to express our sincere appreciation for them. As you know, we depend on people like you to help us get the Word of God to our ladies. Your books will be a blessing to the ladies here! Thank you for all you do and may God bless your ministry.

California Inmate and Former Gang Member
I am reading your new book Not Our Father’s Faith. Thank you so much. I am a new Catholic Christian –– by only a year. I love studying the Book of Revelation. I also have your book The Last Days. Love it, man. You’re the best. I am 43 years old now –– 30 years were spent in gangs and drugs in Los Angeles County. I was shot three times –– starting from when I was 11 years old. I was raped twice by men, beaten as a kid, in jail and prison five times. I also was a godfather from a gang, worked for the Mafia and hurt people. Now, I am saved by God. I have been in prison eight years with three more to go. I love you brother Bill, keep me in your prayers. God bless you.

San Quentin Inmate Helped by Spiritual Warfare Book
I am 29 and in prison for my first time. I am new to Christ and was saved this year while in San Quentin. I am currently reading your book Spiritual Warfare and Victory in Christ. It is powerful. I am reading and trying to soak up everything I can. My past consists of a life of drugs and crime. I started drinking and using when I was about 13. It has caused me to lose everything. It also caused a lot of heartache. But I know as long as I stay on my path with Jesus and keep the Lord first, I will have the life I’ve always wanted. I will be able, by the grace of God, to reach people like me and bring them to Christ. If at all possible could you send me some things to help me grow in the Lord. Bless you in Jesus’ name.
C. K., San Quentin, California
Pennsylvania Female Inmate Blessed by “Maximum Potential” Book
I am incarcerated at the Mercer County Jail for DUI charges. God brought me into captivity to bring me back to Him. I was in the library in the spiritual section. I asked God to direct me to a book that was fit for me. So I moved books from the front row and all the way in the back I found a book that popped out Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ. I picked it up and opened it to page 65. The first paragraph was regarding drinking alcohol, which was a big problem for me. I knew that was a sign for me to read that book. As I went to my cell I saw the name Bill Rudge on the cover. I remembered a BJ Rudge, who was a couple of years older than me and I wondered if there was a connection. I opened to the first page and it said Hermitage, Pa. I am halfway done with the book and I love it. I’m like a kid absorbing all the information. I was wondering if you had any other books you could send. It’s a wonderful thing what I’m going through spiritually but jail still is jail and is hard being away from all the people you love. God bless you,
M. L., Mercer County Jail, Pennsylvania
North Carolina Inmates Receive “Maximum Potential” Books
A quick update on the Kairos Prison Ministry in North Carolina: We met last year at the Chapel breakfast in which Bill Rudge was the guest speaker. Bill Wardle from your Board introduced us, and you provided me with copies of Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ. If possible could you supply 50 more copies? Do you have any events in the NC area coming up? I would like to attend.
Chaplain G. B., Kairos Prison Ministry, North Carolina
U.S. Senator Congratulates BJ

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor and wonderful acknowledgment of your hard work, commitment and leadership.

Sexual Freedom
I would like more copies of your newsletter on Temporary Pleasures. I belong to a Men’s Group of about 50 men. Most of them are battling the flesh and other addictions. I would like a case of Bill’s book Overcoming Sexual Immorality. Also, wanted to relay a message from one of the young men in our group. I had given Alex one of Bill’s books on sexual freedom. He said that book changed his life. He wanted to say thank you so much. God Bless,
E. L., California
Conquering Sexual Immorality
I just read Overcoming Sexual Immorality and found it to be the best advice I have found to date. I am 69 years old and have suffered from addiction to pornography for over 60 years. Bill’s book has helped me in my understanding and conquest of the issue. Thank you,

Karen Rudge Foundation Soccer Tournament
The soccer tour![]()
nament at the stadium in Liberia on July 26, 2018 in honor of William Rudge brought together four communities. The Yellow Jersey team won while the Blue took second place. The pamphlets from Bill Rudge Ministries were shared for the glory of God. The teams and I distributed the tracts to the community. The kids took the true life testimony of Bill (The Taming of Godzilla) home to their parents. Also, thank you for your contribution to purchase a new chalkboard for the children of this village. May you never lack anything in life. Your contribution will be a remembrance in the lives of these kids. We are so grateful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Election Day
Chaplain Bill, I want to thank you for your kind words on election day. It is amazing (don’t know why I am amazed after seeing God work for over 40 years) how God sends a word or kind deed when we need it most. You were a blessing and a help. I was so glad to hear you giving your testimony to the others there. I am praying that what you said will take root in hearts. May God bless your ministry.

Boy Scouts Challenged
Dear Bill Rudge & Team, Thank you so much! We found the obstacle course very challenging. It pushed us to be our best. It helped us learn and try to overcome the challenges.
Signed by all the Boy Scouts of Troop 45
Blessed by the Message
BJ, Wow, your message spoke directly to the hearts of those in attendance! One person made a special trip to our trailer to let us know that she was blessed by your message. Two ladies (sisters) who had never been to the church service were so moved by your message they started to weep. Blessings upon you, your ministry and your family.

Minute Message
Thank you for your encouraging Minute of Living Truth with Bill Rudge entitled “Have You Suffered?” As hard as it gets at times, it helps to remember that we ‘are counted worthy’ to suffer these things. What an honor to be a servant of the living Savior.

Comment on “Spiritual Addiction” Blog
BJ, I can not say a loud enough amen to your post! I spent over a decade in a false religion that is defined by experiences. I hated prayer and reading the Bible… Once I was saved everything changed. The prayer and study I use to hate, I now love. Thank you for this post, friend.

Grateful for Gospel Materials
We received the parcel containing your Not Our Father’s Faith book and messages on Samson and Daniel. All your materials are excellent for the salvation of lost souls and building up Christians spiritually. Thank you very much.

Encouraged in Ministry by Overcoming Giants
I read Bill’s book, Overcoming the Giants in Your Life. It is very helpful to my spiritual growth to read about Bill Rudge’s personal experience in the Lord Jesus and His mighty works. How Bill totally depends on God encouraged me in ministry.

Woman with Disfigured Face Finds Forgiveness
One night I was reading a friend’s book, Who is Jesus Christ? by Bill Rudge. I received deliverance from unforgiveness as I realized I had allowed the devil to torment me with memories of people who had mistreated me over the years…some laugh at me because of my disfigured face as a result of a fire incident. Others laugh at me as a poor widow who has hearing difficulties, etc. But through the teaching in this book I asked God to forgive me and help me love unconditionally. You and this book are a blessing to my life.

Blog on Discernment
BJ, Your blog on discernment was great. In fact, your whole series is great. We have been having some discussion about what contending for the faith means and your article nails it down really well. Thanks.

Inspirational Messages
Dear BJ, As one of our favorite speakers, we thank you for your inspirational messages. The students look forward to you coming. Your messages could be heard over and over. Thanks for taking time out of a very busy ministry to bless us.

Prepared for Heaven
Bill, There are so many reasons we thank God he sent you into our lives. But the most important is you gave Jim his faith in God again. You gave him peace at the end. Thank you for your kindness. You are a very special man. God bless you.

God Moved in a Special Way

BRM’s History Is Impressive
Bill, Our congregation responded well to your excellent presentation. Thank you for opening our eyes and hearts to the wide scope of your ministry to our local communities and the entire world. BRM’s history is impressive and its future seems so bright in the light of our world situation.
Pastor D. F.
Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ
BRM, Thank you for blessing me with Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ book. I am enjoying it completely. I recently read the entire New Testament and wrote down every Scripture that touched me. As I read Bill’s book I came across more and more of the scriptures I had written down. I am seeing life in a whole new perspective.

With My Own Eyes
Dear Bill and Karen, I really appreciate your newsletters and its sound wisdom on biblical prophecy and the urgency to evangelize and be witnesses to the world around us. I also want to thank you for the example you have been. I consider you mentors in my life and I pray for you when I get your newsletters.

Translated into Mizo and Burmese
Karen, Praise the Lord for every great thing He has done for us through your ministries, especially Bill’s books and CDs which are being translated into Mizo and Burmese languages. They encourage us everyday. One of our members, U Kyaw Tun, is now banished by his family because of becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. His mother said to him, “Your God, who is killed on the stake (cross) can now provide you food.” But U Kyaw Tun is not upset. He can now count many blessings.

Accepted Jesus as Her Savior
Just want to share some exciting news. Had a client who was into New Age. On the way home from Julian cabin, she got to listen to Bill’s CD on the occult and spiritual warfare. When we got back to El Cajon, she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Praise His Holy Name.
M. C., California
Thank You for Being Faithful
My heart swells with joy when I hear of ministries who are using the money wisely and for the glory of God. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being faithful and I pray God will touch many hearts and convict them to help you.

Stood the Test of Time
Dear Bill, Thank you for all you and Karen have done and continue to do for the Kingdom of God. It is a blessing to see a ministry that not only has stood against the attacks of the enemy, but has stood the test of time. Your faithfulness is to be commended. It is definitely an encouragement and inspiration!

Karen Rudge Foundation in Liberia
Dear Karen, I am grateful to God Almighty for making me a partner of your great ministries. I am blessed to receive Bill’s books, pamphlets, and CDs to increase my spiritual growth. The box of items you sent were distributed among the children. My special thanks to Tabitha and Clay Smith and family for sponsoring it. We lift our prayer for them. Karen Rudge Foundation is working in 10 communitites to get the children off the streets; from sleeping in the market places. A big thank you to dad Bill and mom Karen for allowing us to be their son in Africa.

On My Mind
BJ, Thank you so much for coming to our middle school. Your message will definitely be on my mind and in my heart throughout my high school years. Also, thank you for your book. Your testimony is very inspiring. I will definitely share the book with my family and friends.
J
Challenge Was Super
BJ, Just finished listening to your message CD from when I was away on vacation and wanted to thank you for such a timely and well-done message for our church family. Your organized thoughts and God’s challenge were super. Thanks for not only being willing to fill the pulpit, but for the evident time you spend preparing God’s Word before preaching. As a pastor it is extremely vital to know that in one’s absence the Word of God is being preached and the Spirit’s direction in the heart of the minister is evident—such is always the case with you and your dad when at our place of ministry. Thank you for being used of the Lord.
Pastor D. S., Pennsylvania
Power of Prayer Raises Up New Supporter
BJ, I want to tell you a very neat thing. For quite some time I desired to support the Bill Rudge Ministries. I have been asking God to speak to my husband and allow him to be the one to make the commitment. Many times I wanted to ask him if we might be able to add you to our monthly giving, but always felt the check in my spirit to wait. This morning before my husband left for work, he said, “I made a decision about our finances.” He then went on to explain that he felt we needed to add Bill Rudge Ministries on a regular monthly basis. I just sat there and smiled, praising God for His perfect timing. He went on to say, “I have listened to you retelling some of BJ’s conversations about his talks with kids and how he is leading the soccer team. I feel he is a man of God whose heart wants to serve Him.” I got tears in my eyes and gave him a hug. I am looking forward to sharing with him the journey of prayer that led to this day! God’s timing is so very perfect and worthy of the wait.
K. C., Pennsylvania
Impacted My Life
I happened to see one of your newsletters at the Hermitage Bible Store and was glad that I found your web site. You impacted my life and if I have never said “thank you” for stepping out and being honest, let me say “thank you” now. I have respected you for years and always enjoyed your ministry. You are a blessing to me and a blessing to so many others. Thank you for doing God’s work and for all you and Karen do.
L. B., Nevada
Faithfulness, Strength and Courage
Every time I drift and quit reading Scripture, I come across one of your newsletters or audio messages or books. Your faithfulness, strength and courage (tenacity) to make the total commitment everyday over so many years are so comforting. I know in my heart that if it were not for you and your ministry I would be in deep trouble. May God bless you and Karen, your family and your ministry.
G. C., Pennsylvania
God Never Failed
I have been following your lives and the success of the ministry for a long time. I marvel at how faithful you are to trust the Lord completely in all you do. You are showing the world what faith is really all about. I’m sure there were times you wondered if you were doing the right thing, stepping out in faith so often, but God never failed you and He sure came through for you time and time again. Thanks for sharing your lives with us all. The newsletter is always such an encouragement. Keep on trusting the Lord and being faithful to Him. He’ll never fail you nor forsake you. How we praise Him. You, and your ministry, are “lights” in a dark, dark world.
E.W., Pennsylvania
Solid and Genuine Commitment
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your new book. I have been reading it non-stop every chance I get. I wish I could explain how much your whole family has touched my life. Every time I have the privilege to be around you, I come away feeling peaceful and challenged or inspired all at once. Thank you for your solid and genuine commitment to Jesus Christ.
K. D., New York
Example of Biblical Living
After listening to Fasting for Sensitivity & Power and reading Beware, our Lord allowed me to see more than ever my need to repent of any and all sloth and foolishness in my walk with Him. For several years, my pastor and I have sought the Scriptures for examples of godly living. We desire to make an impact and set an example for our generation. We have been blessed by your materials and example of godliness, self-control and holy living. We praise God for your modern day example of what Biblical and practical Christian living ought to be. I want to encourage and thank you by saying that your labor has not been in vain, and that you have, by the grace of God, made a difference in my marriage and our lives.

Karen’s Prayer Changes A Life
You are part of the reason I am where I am. If Karen hadn’t prayed with me and led me to the Lord, I probably would never have been here! Thanks for all your support.

Saints Under Attack
I have listened to Bill’s CD How Long Can America Stand and God’s Purpose in Suffering three times now. It really speaks to me. Bill Rudge was correct about the suffering in the Body of Christ. I have never seen so many saints come under attack with spiritual warfare as I have seen in the last three years. We need food and encouragement in regard to the spiritual battle.
D. L., Arizona
Former Neighbor
I used to be a neighbor of yours about 25 years ago. I was a young boy who would try to get into and cause trouble with my friends. Long story short, I have been on a journey to find a stronger faith. I talk about this with a good friend at work, Art. I know my faith isn’t very strong and want to hear more about the Word. Art told me a little about you and how he felt you were a true man of faith –– with money, with relationships and with life –– it all started and finished with the Lord. I want so much to be a man who lives on faith instead of worrying about things that really don’t matter. I read your testimony on the web site and wish I would have taken the time to talk to you when I was younger. My journey may have been a little easier if I had. I was raised to not trust religion and by proxy didn’t trust you and for that (and any trouble I caused) I am sorry. Sincerely,
R. B., Pennsylvania
The Gift of a Guitar
Dear Bill, I want to share with you the power of God’s Holy Spirit and testify to His marvelous ways of uniting His saints. I was handed one of your pamphlets by a friend here in Jacksonville. He and his wife first met you in a “revival” meeting in Pennsylvania. He tells me that you gave him a guitar as a gift and that he still plays it to this day at church services.

Red Cross Nurse at California Wildfires
Hi Bill, Just want to thank you so very much for the book and newsletters from your ministry –– loved seeing the pictures of you and the memories it brought. Actually came at a perfect time as I’m usually pretty “up” but had been feeling “down” –– lifted my spirit greatly! I “re-listened” to the CD you had given me at the California wildfires. I felt a real bond with you from the minute we first spoke –– guess God was trying to tell me something. I have been going to church pretty regularly for about two years. May God keep you safe in your travels in His work.

Snow Run
Bill, Loved your ‘Snow Run’ article and applications to it! What a message! Guess I’ll have to try it from the house to the church sometime to see if I get the same applications! By the way—am reprinting last month’s lead article on “Purity and Perseverance” for the church family. We’ll be inserting it in the bulletin. Thanks for the great challenges in your newsletter from the Word. As a believer and pastor I really appreciate it. God bless!
Pastor D. S., Pennsylvania
Newsletters as Devotional
Dear Bill, Karen, & BJ, Thanks for your excellent newsletter. Now let me tell you how I use it in my daily devotions. On day one I read the lead article and ponder its relevance to my personal and prayer life. On day two I do the same with the next entry, and so on until I finish the issue. Thought this might be a helpful suggestion for other readers and supporters of Bill Rudge Ministries. May God continue to bless!

Letter to the Church in America Video
Bill, Esther and I leave tomorrow for Florida, but I wanted to quickly send off this note of appreciation for your letter to the churches in America. Our daughter, Karen, emailed it to us just yesterday. Thank you for this fine, penetrating paraphrase of our Lord’s letters to the churches. You did a superb job and the graphics were equally well done. I trust it will be used of the Lord to awaken us all to the gravity of our times and the imminency of His coming. Blessings on you, Karen and the family. We are so proud of you!

Perseverance of a Pastor and Prayers of a Church
Just a quick note to let you know that Mizpah Church has placed you on their annual budget. It has taken me two years for this to happen but everything is in God’s perfect timing. Bill Rudge Ministries has been on our Wednesday night prayer list for almost two years.

Pastor Dedicates Book to Bill
I lost contact with Bill Rudge due to military oppression in my country, but today I decided to search the web. I am so happy now! Your books and tapes and other materials sent to me in the past blessed me tremendously. In fact, one of my books to be published soon is graciously dedicated to Bill Rudge. Reason? Simple. I was actually ordained and sent forth by Bill Rudge many years back when he was the guest minister at God’s Deliverance Gospel Church. Then I was in Bible College. I respect Bill Rudge a lot and look forward to a fruitful relationship.
Pastor O. W., Nigeria
Blessed by Books and Messages
I want you to know just how much your ministry has meant to myself and the congregation that I have been blessed to lead. They really love you even though many of them do not know you. Just by reading your books, as well as listening to your messages, they all testify to the fact of the great blessing they have received from you.

During a Conference
I am an Evangelist in Italy for Jesus. It blessed us greatly to hear some of your audio messages during a conference in Bergamo, Italy. Spiritual Warfare and your other audio messages impressed our fellow believers’ lives so much that, after the conventions, they approached me for some of these messages. In unison with 30 pastors we decided to establish an audio library to facilitate easy lending and borrowing of your messages.

Library Touching Community in Kenya
I am very grateful for the library of Bill Rudge’s books and CDs sent by Hands for Christ International. They are very spiritually uplifting and changing many lives. Unbelievers from all parts of the community have come and thank God many have turned their lives over to Christ.

Persecuted Pastor Requests BRM Books
On Christmas Eve while on my way to our church service, I met a group of unbelievers who were saying there is no God. When I spoke boldly about Jesus Christ, they grabbed me and threw me out of the bus into a nearby gutter and hit me with fists and sticks they found nearby. One of them said, “You are trying to make us lose many chances of enjoying life and having fun. What about the woman I told to wait for me in the brothel; do you want me to cancel that plan? Or do you want to tell my wife or daughter about her?”
I managed to get up from the gutter and said the words to them Jesus said to His disciples, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works” (Matthew 16:24-28).
Before they left, one of them who had pity on me gave me a card containing his address stating he wanted to know more about Jesus. I went to teach the gospel of salvation to him.
I need your prayer and Bill Rudge’s book NOT Our Father’s Faith for people to come back to Jesus. After a meeting in the church we are requesting 25 copies of your books to help take the Gospel to villages, hospitals, churches, schools, and Muslim environs. God Bless you for your encouragement!
Pastor K. O., Come Back to Jesus Church, Nigeria
Priest in Kenya
Thanks and best wishes from our communities of hospitals and the prisons. We always pray for the Bill Rudge Ministries because of your support and encouragement. The spiritual books you are sending us are bringing a lot of enlightenment to prisoners. Our entire community was very happy and grateful. The youth, children, and even sick people read the good materials you are sending. We love your books and tapes. Thank you and God bless you.

Dying of Heart Disease
Dear Mr. Rudge, I praise God for your ministry. I am dying of heart disease, but Ihave found the Lord. Only 20% of my heart is working and I give it all to Him. Your book, Beware! Deception and Delusion in the Church, was the most inspiring book I have had the pleasure of reading. So much truth!
H. B., Utah
Book Found in Secondhand Store
My uncle was browsing around in Bibles for Missions, a secondhand store in Abbotsford, British Columbia. He came across your book, Beware! Deception and Delusion in the Church. He lent it to me and I spent nearly a whole day reading it along with the Word of God. I was so encouraged. I thank the Lord Jesus for laying it upon your heart to write it. I am so encouraged by your ministry and I am challenged to live a more convicted life in Christ Jesus.
Y. N., British Columbia, Canada
Beware Book “Snuck” Onto Bookshelf
It is so uplifting to see a ministry that is so on fire for our Lord, and most important, so dedicated to an absolute and uncompromising reliance on His Word. I wanted to let you know what an impact your book Beware had on me. I must tell you a funny story about this book. I have a fairly decent Christian bookshelf, and know where most of these books are from or who gave them to me. I wanted to quote Pastor Chuck Smith from his book Charisma or Charismania? That is when I saw your book Beware. To this day I haven’t a clue where it came from! (I pray the Lord blesses the brother who snuck this book into my library!) Anyway, the Lord must have really had His hand upon you for this timely message.
B. M., Utah
Reality-Based Book
I just want to commend you on the great work you are doing for the Lord. Be encouraged; people are blessed by your ministry. I have been re-reading Beware lately and it is great. I first read it way back in 1996 and forgot how good and reality-based it is. It takes great boldness to stand for biblical truth. Keep it up. I only pray that I may have the same boldness as I strive to serve the Lord. I really like your challenging stress on living a disciplined, biblically-based Christian walk. May God richly bless your faithfulness and obedience.

“Giants” Waiting in Maryland

Overcoming Sexual Immorality a Popular Book
Your book Overcoming Sexual Immorality was loaned to a former colleague and never to be seen again. It’s been that popular! Every time I show it to someone they want to keep it. With so many “loose women” and “sex-orientated” men out there today my community really needs to see this book! The ladies in our ministry are desperate to distribute more of Overcoming Sexual Immorality –– not only to help women keep chaste, but also to distribute to the men who are pursuing them. We need 50 copies. Our funds are limited, but your book is worth it because it is the single most important issue for women today!

Broadcast Brings Tears
I was driving home from the market listening to your program on Fasting. Everything that you were saying was convicting me. I felt the Holy Spirit so strongly that tears ran down my face; even when I pulled into the garage and went into my home, there were still tears flowing. I thank God for working through you. I feel that the Holy Spirit guided me to be in my car at the time of your program. Your sister in Christ,

Nigerian Pastor Challenged By Bill’s Messages
I remember when you visited Nigeria and the way the Lord used you. I can never forget it. Even the prayers you offered were great and powerful. Your life is a very big challenge to me as a servant of God. Whenever I listen to your messages it makes me study the Word of God more. I gave two of your audio messages to the representative of our state governor. He was very happy after listening to them.

You can remember that during your previous visit to Nigeria, you ministered on my television program.

Pastor Comments On Bill’s Message at His Church
Bill, Your message was a very pertinent and timely challenge for God’s people. I appreciate your stand and ministry more than you probably know and I am very grateful to have you and BJ sharing the Word and ministering like you do. Not only was the message God’s, but your servant’s heart is as well. Thank you again.
Pastor D. S., Pennsylvania
Response from Previous Revelation Series
Bill and BJ, thank you so much for your teaching on Revelation. We are so thankful for your commitment to our Lord and willingness to give of your time and talents. Your teaching helped us sort a great deal out and clarified much. Also your suggestion to read Revelation each week was extremely helpful. May God continue to bless your ministry and protect your family as you go about the world serving our Lord Jesus Christ. Your father and son team did a superb job relaying the information to us.

In our 11 a.m. service there were two people baptized who shared their testimonies. One of those is a young man named Chris who shared that the men’s retreat last winter impacted his life and he thanked both Doug (for planning the retreat and inviting him) and Bill Rudge, who was the guest speaker. Chris just graduated from the University of New Brunswick with a degree in geology.

Pakistani Wants to Translate Bill’s Book
I have been going through the studies at your web site, and am deeply inspired with all of the teachings. This is such a wonderful study you have arranged for all the nations of the entire world. I am from Islamic Republic of Pakistan where it is difficult to have radio and TV channels for preaching purposes. They would not allow us to do that here. We humbly request you to expand your outreach into Urdu and Punjabi language. Urdu is the language spoken and understood by more than one sixth of the total population of the world. Urdu is spoken in Pakistan, India, Nepal, and Afghanistan and also in Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran and others. I volunteer my services as translator, recorder, dubbing and distribution. This will bring a lot of blessings for Urdu and Punjabi speaking people. There is nothing more precious than to hear the Word of God in your own language.

Testimony Read in Church Service
The following is the testimony Sister Odura read in the church service yesterday: “For over 29 years I was nothing but troubled and wanted nothing to do with God. On July 1, 2010, things changed. I accepted Jesus as my Savior. I did not realize how hard it would be to go back out into the world without becoming like the world again. It took me years to have my eyes opened to the truth. If it were not for billrudge.org web site I would not have known the truth. And if not for the pastor of this church who showed me your web site, I have no doubt I would be dead and in hell today. Now, the Lord has blessed me beyond any words that I can write. He saved me. He gave me a new life and mended my broken relationship with my parents after many years of separation. I will forever be thankful to you for your web site.”
Pastor C. I., Light of the Gospel Ministry, Nigeria
God Removes Desire to Fight
The following letter is from one of the musicians who performed at Petra Cafe when Bill spoke there at the Presidio of Monterey, California. I hope you remember who I am. I talked to you at the Petra Cafe after you spoke. You and I talked about martial arts. It was truly a blessing talking to you. You have a powerful ministry. Yesterday I noticed that God took the desire to fight away. Even sparring. It is great when the Lord removes things without us even realizing it. That’s the easy kind of surgery! Please send me that information you told me about the martial arts.

Why I Quit Karate Book a Great Witnessing Tool
I am scheduled to speak at a seminar on “Why Many Christians are Leaving the Martial Arts.” I am planning to pass out many of the Why I Quit Karate booklets you wrote. They have really proved to be a witnessing tool. I could use about 100 booklets. I agree wholeheartedly in all that you write. Can’t tell you what a blessing those books have been to me, as so many people have done a complete turnaround after reading them and listening to the lecture and witnessing sessions with question and answers. Thanks Bill!

Translate Bill’s Self Defense Book in India
I am from Northeast India and got your Self Defense book from my brother as a present. It was so great and gave a challenge, because I always fight with others. Now I am applying the formulas from your book. I have a great desire to translate your book in my language and am planning to start after my graduation.

Dissuaded from Kung Fu
Would it be ok to read sections of your book Why I Quit Karate to people I exchange audio tapes with? You’re an excellent writer and your book certainly helped to dissuade me from taking Kung Fu lessons. Looking back, I see that the Lord protected me from getting mixed up in the martial arts, as it had a pull on me since childhood.

Lord Changes Heart On Martial Arts
At first I didn’t agree with the stand you made on the martial arts because I had such a love (and pride) in it. But now the Lord has changed my heart to let go and humble myself. The Lord did it in such a way it’s been easy to let go of the physical warfare and remember it’s spiritual. So I prefer my knees over my fists. My prayers are with you. God richly bless you in your faithful service.
