We shall not be able to reach more than a portion of
those awaiting baptism this summer; some 2,500 have requested
baptism. But we are now preparing to have baptizing teams out in
the field the year around.
My other son, Garner Ted Armstrong, has finished his
evangelistic campaign in Springfield, Missouri, the most successful
campaign so far conducted. God granted a big harvest. God's
TRUTH, and the Gospel of Christ was declared in great power as a
witness against many in and around Springfield--but as a joyous and
welcome TRUTH accepted by many others.
Plans are all laid to send you a still larger PLAIN
TRUTH for November. It will be 8 pages larger--now to be 32 pages.
All 8 additional pages will be filled with the first installment of
the forthcoming BIBLE-STORY BOOK for children. It will be
profusely illustrated with the drawings of Basil Wolverton,
nationally known artist. I am becoming more and more enthusiastic
about this.
NEVER has there been anything like it. It is TOTALLY
different from the kind of Bible-story books the world has been
offering. It is not a series of disconnected blood-and-thunder
stories without real meaning or connection or relation to the
Gospel or God's Purpose. Rather, it is the simple, truthful, yet
excitingly interesting Message of the BIBLE ITSELF, starting with
the first chapter and first verse of Genesis, and continuing right
on through the whole Bible.
I think I explained before, it is written in such
language that ADULTS will greatly enjoy it, and come to really
UNDERSTAND and grasp the true PURPOSE of God in placing mankind on
earth, and of His PLAN for working it out, and of redemption, in a
way you never quite fully grasped it before. Children of 9 to 12
can read its thrills and exciting sequences for themselves.
Children as young as three or four can understand it and enjoy it,
if their parents read it to them and explain to them some parts
which such young children might not understand in the language
written.
It starts with the very creation of the heavens and the
earth. It explains about the devil, where he came from, how there
came to be a devil. It explains about Adam and Eve in the Garden
of Eden, and their sin, and being driven out. It explains about
Cain and Abel--and why God accepted Abel's offering and rejected
Cain's. It pictures the flood in the most exciting, thrilling,
realistic language you ever read, with many drawings picturing it
in true realism as only Basil Wolverton can sketch them! Children
will come to see what salvation is, and why we need it--all in
language they can understand. It is all so interesting, that those
of us who have read the manuscript simply can't lay it down until
we have finished it! Personally, I think this is the finest and
most interesting and most valuable thing that has ever been
produced in our time for children of ALL AGES, from about three up
to ninety-nine! Not only children--YOU will enjoy it, too.
