God bless you in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for having taken the time to read "The Passing of a Patriarch". I have shared its contents with you not to malign anyone, nothing could he farther from my intentions. The cry of my heart is that this Ministry of the integrity and the accuracy of God's Word he allowed to grow and flourish.

Even when Saul was "tripped out" David still would not put forth a hand against him because he was anointed of the Lord.

During all the hours that Dr. Wierwille and I spent together the last twenty-two days of his life he did get passionate in his speech, he was concerned in a very deep and personal way with the subjects that he discussed, but he was not bitter or vengeful. What he shared with me was knowledge ot situations in the Ministry that he felt needed to he known before he died. His thrust was not to hurt anyone or especially the Ministry as a whole. He only wanted to preserve it as a living and growing blessing to all that hunger and thirst for an accurate knowledge of God and His Word.

I have allowed you to read this believing God that the same end will come to pass as a reality in your life and that you will be better enabled to lovingly be a vital part of the continuance of The Word Over The World.

I love you, In His service,

I read it and all is true. I've felt it and didn't know what to do. So I will change to do my best for the man I helped kill.

I've read this and am thankful for the revelation. I apologize for not having followed my "man of God." I shall be a doer of the Word more and more as I renew my commitment to God's Word. Thank you Chris for having eyes to see and ears to hear.
