The
Good News
I really do appreciate your wonderful Good
News magazine, which a friend introduced
to me a couple of years ago. I especially appreciate the way you provide such
easily understood information supporting the Bible, Christian belief, etc. This
is very helpful in view of the great stampede in today’s world to belittle
the Bible and Christianity. Although I don’t always agree with every interpretation
you have of the Bible, I am blessed greatly by reading your magazine and some
of the materials you have sent me.
T.D., Spokane,Washington
This is just an acknowledgment to let you know what a great job you are doing.
It is really good to learn about the goodness of God and to know that there is
a better life to look forward to. Your organization has been a new learning experience
for me and has opened my mind to a whole new perspective about God’s goodness
and Christianity in general. It has helped me to build a stronger foundation for
my life in Christ. I appreciate all of the free literature that you provide me
with from time to time. I would just like to say thanks.
J.A.W., Trinidad,West Indies
I was very happy to read The Good
News because I am attending a congregation in Saudi Arabia. It is very
useful for my preaching. I request you to kindly accept this letter as a subscription
renewal.
G.J., Saudi Arabia
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your magazine. As soon as
it arrives, I devour it and really feel I have much to reflect on and new ammunition
for daily life.

Creation
or evolution?
I am a prisoner in Texas. Recently someone showed me a copy of your booklet Creation
or Evolution: Does it Really Matter What You Believe? I found it to be
one of the best arguments for creation that I have ever encountered. The evolution-vs.-creation
debate is one that has enthralled me for years. Unfortunately, I had to return
the booklet to its owner. Would it be possible for you to send me a copy?
J.T., Midway, Texas
Your free copy has already been mailed. Why not also request the companion
booklet Life’s Ultimate Question:
Does God Exist?

Managing
Your Finances
I have recently received a copy of your booklet Managing
Your Finances. This booklet is good source material for Christians in
resolving financial challenges. It also teaches how to maintain righteousness
in a world that is entangled with lust for money and earthly treasures. I commend
the efforts of the church that God has inspired as a vessel to accomplish this
task.

Bible
Reading Program
I am studying your new Bible Reading
Program, and it is wonderful! I print it out from my computer and put it in
a loose-leaf notebook so when I am through I can go back and read it any time.
I have read the Bible through several times, and there is always something new.
This course explains things in ways I had never thought of.

Holy
Days or holidays?
I saw my first
magazine, which was the March-April 2001 issue. I found a lot of interesting
stories about Easter holidays and festivities that are pagan in origin. I believe
they are a threat to Christianity. I am writing to ask for a copy of the booklet
Holidays or Holy Days: Does It
Matter Which Days We Keep?
M.S.Z.K., Malawi, Central Africa
Thank you so much for sending Holidays
or Holy Days. I notice that you didn’t ask for an offering, but I
am grateful and am sending what I can. It’s well-researched material. I’ve
always wanted to know the truth about a lot of our traditions.

Readers
seek to attend church services
Just a note to thank you for your magazine. It is truly the most complete and
truthful information I have ever received in the Christian field. I enjoy and
have passed your information on to many of my Christian friends and coworkers.
I wish you had a church in my area.
M.D.C., Houma, Louisiana
I have been reading your magazine for some time now and find that many of the
beliefs I have been brought up with may not be God’s will according to Scripture.
Do you have church congregations to attend?
A.I., Internet
I’d like to know if you have a minister near Butte, Montana. I wish to be
baptized.
S.S., Butte, Montana
I would like to be able to talk to someone in the Portland, Oregon, area about
going to the United Church of God. It is hard being a Christian with no help.
I went to a Sabbath-keeping church because I believe in the Saturday Sabbath,
but I did not like following their pagan rituals (Christmas, Easter, etc.). I
need help because the world is hard enough without trying to fight it alone with
none who have the same basic beliefs. The United Church of God has helped me to
find what I was searching for, and that is the truth.
D.L.H., Portland, Oregon
We deeply appreciate reader interest in attending our church services, being
baptized or contacting a United Church of God minister. Our reader-services staff
and personal correspondents gladly communicate with all who request help. We have
sent telephone numbers of the nearest pastors to those above.
Your magazine The Good News
is excellent, and I truly appreciate your sending it to me. God bless the work
you are doing. I have attended some Sabbath services and am impressed at the display
of unity and harmony in the group.
D.C., Vancouver, B.C., Canada
