As an Elder in his church John was occasionally called on to deliver the Sundaysermon. He also conducted a weekly bible study. He started to send out inspirational/devotional emails to those in the congregation who had come to appreciate hisvast biblical knowledge and background. Before long others asked to be addedto his distribution list - other church members family and friends. He was beingencouraged to publish these emails but sadly passed away before he could seethat through. This book is published in honor of John.
