2011-2012

1/24/12

I am currently preparing another critical update soon where many corrections have been made, and a few more exciting sections have been greatly revised and added.

I am looking forward to posting some exciting updates here as soon as I am permitted…!

1/23/12 – Looking forward to Review

>> look

As long as I am able to work full time on the book, it seems that we are constantly getting closer to finishing all of the major new sections that are critically needed before printing.

As long as I’m able to work full time on the book, it feels like we’re getting so much closer every day. There’s a small chance that we may indeed get to print it at some point this year (2012) but this is not all the way clear yet. I’m getting very close to completing all of the new sections that I need to complete before bringing it to print. If I may be able to get that much complete, then I think the rest of the needed work means revising, revising, and revising some more until everything is complete and acceptable.

At some point we are eagerly anticipating the input of volunteer reviewers, and if you think that you would like to be a part of this please contact me. We need all the review help we can get with this huge project. You do not have to be good at anything, just available to help.

1/23/12 – Important additions

Like I wrote previously, there are too many additions, enhancements, fixes, and exciting new sections to list, but here is a developing list of important sections that I am frequently asked about

2/14/11 (with clarifications) -11/12/11; (1/23/12)

After about 9 months and countless hours of great labor it looks like I finally have a long-awaited update to “Divorce and Remarriage Repentance Revolution”!

I added many new sections all throughout the book, especially enhancing Chapter 3 this time, laboring greatly over the countless, weighty, exciting details of the exception clause.

Also included in these updates is the long-awaited section on * The Seven Examples * where God actually used men of God to call real people to get out of unlawful marriages.

With all of these very numerous additions and thorough revisions we went from having 167 pages to 231 pages. With more than 60 pages of new content, needless to say, I don’t think it would be practical for me to name all of the extremely important new sections that are all throughout the book, but I am praying that they would benefit people who are in desperate need and hungry for truth (but perhaps I may get to include a highlight list of these new and important sections at some point). My prayer is that it could somehow help us all actually obey God and somehow make it to heaven in this age of great apostasy.

Although these are very defining and important updates, there are certainly many more updates where that came from. Please let me know whenever you find any mistakes or particular sections that need critical clarification because I really do need help like this so I can continue to make needed revisions. As some have noticed, although I am going on 2 years past my original goal to get the book printed, I am laboring greatly to bring this book to completion as soon as God permits!

May God finally be honored;

May lawless heresies be confronted;

May people (especially church people) be saved from darkness and slavery to sin!

May God call the Modern church to repent!

1/30/10 – 8/28/10

We have been working on getting the book in print. Countless hours have been underway in updating and preparing the teaching for this next step. Some updates are in mid-process and we don’t expect them to all be immediately reflected on the website until major sections are revised and completed.

We are not sure if we will get a book in print within 2010, but we are continually laboring to get it in print as soon as God will permit us. Our resources are limited but we are praying that God will help us resume working on the book at “full speed ahead.”
