Twenty-two years ago, August, 1976, I confided in an old friend from college days that I envisioned producing a certain kind of study-Bible, and that I thought I might could publish it (have Thomas Nelson publish it) when I would be sixty-two years old (1998).

Well, that innocent conversation one Sunday afternoon, during a walk, led to events that continue to cost more in every currency known than could ever be counted on Earth. Maybe there will be a commensurate reward; here and now if a more useful book can now be purchased; later, if the Lord is pleased.

Though there has been pain beyond  measure, there has also been personal blessing too. I have come to know Jesus in a manner never, never imagined before the storms, mine-fields, thefts, betrayals, jealousies and my personal failings which have been too numerous to remember.

Maybe the Bibles will be produced. If The Lord wills it. I do believe He has given assurance that the first step, the publication of the Biography of Jesus, Things Kept Secret, will occur.

I request your prayers.
