Letters From Our Readers

Readers of The Good News share their thoughts.

"DNA: The Tiny Code That's Toppling Evolution"

It is a shame that you spread misinformation because you can't grasp the reality of real science. Not a bit of your text shows any merit. I and many like me will not let you bring our nation back into the Dark Ages without speaking out against this. Unlike science with its volumes of proof in what it states, your side holds absolutely no proof of what you say other than your interpretation of a book written thousands of years ago by men with little or no education. Not one shred of evidence can you produce. Let the truth prevail.

R.M., Salisbury, New York

The DNA article to which you refer quoted the conclusions of professors of science, molecular biologists, medical doctors and the like, each of whom was carefully identified. The article also included the background and qualifications of the sources quoted.

Dare we suggest that you request our free bookletIs the Bible True? Many of the Bible's writers were very well educated. Consider the man who wrote the Pentateuch: "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds" (Acts 7:22).

"God, Science and the Bible"

I must commend you for the inclusion of the "God, Science and the Bible" feature. Apart from the updates it will inevitably provide, it will also serve as a reminder that as long as man searches and longs for meaning, He will always need to be reminded of the ever-present help and existence of God.

Jesus Christ: The Real Story

I have just received the booklet Jesus Christ: The Real Story and have found it to be illuminating. It has made me think about some ideas in a new way. It expanded my realization and deepened my desire for knowing Jesus Christ.

B.L., Coshocton, Ohio

I have read so many books about the story of Jesus Christ and who He was. None of these books were able to give me answers to some of the hidden and controversial questions about the day of His birth and who exactly He is and so on. All these and many more questions were answered in your booklet Jesus Christ: The Real Story. I commend you for such clear explanations.

C.O., Nigeria

I thank you for the booklets listed and not least for the marvelous Jesus Christ: The Real Story, a great publication for which I am extremely grateful. I am enjoying and appreciating every line of it. One feels that the writers have made a thorough investigation of the Word of God coupled with a sincere desire to understand the meaning of our destiny here on earth.

Comments on The Middle East in Bible Prophecy from a soldier serving in Iraq

I just finished reading your booklet The Middle East in Bible Prophecy and it was profound. I'm serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and writing to see if you could send all of your booklets to the address I've given. Many days we have just enough downtime to read a booklet in a day. This would really help with the separation from family and church. However, if you're able to send extra copies as well, I could give them to our chapel so others could read The Good News too! Thank you so much.

The Good News

I just wanted to let you know that I did not request The Good News. I was going to cancel it, tired of companies charging me for things that I did not register for or request. But I was happy to see that I won't have to pay. I was even more pleased to see an article titled "Bringing Up a Moral Child." It is something I think about most every day. I have a 17-year-old who was ruined not only by circumstances in our family, but by society. Now I have an 8-month-old. I'm constantly thinking of how I will bring her up. How will I protect her from a society that has no respect for itself? So I look for Christian help everywhere.

C.I., Kissimmee, Florida

You may find that our free booklet Making Life Work will be of help, as well as the new booklet Marriage and Family: The Missing Dimension, offered in this issue.

Thank you very much for all your magazines, which I find interesting and informative. Thank you for providing such rich and informative reading material. Your articles cover a vast range of subjects and, unlike many publications, you maintain an unbiased and respectful stance toward other believers. The Good News has become a close and inseparable friend and a source of advice that helps me to face life's problems with hope.

A.G., Eritrea

Last week I found a copy of your magazine and read it. I have never been so impressed by any magazine in my life. You have covered so much that I am interested in and concerned about. I want all the suggested readings mentioned in each article. And I will make a contribution as soon as I figure out where to send one. If you come back to me on e-mail, I will send it to wherever you direct.

Answering readers' questions

God really brought you to solve problems for people like me. There are puzzling questions in my mind that you have done a lot of justice to. Keep it up.

Reader on Internet

For the very first time I came upon The Good News magazine and am more than captivated by it. This is what I have been looking for. I am pleased to know that the questions that I have had such a hard time answering myself just by reading the Bible will finally be answered. Thank you so much for fulfilling your purpose and dissolving the wall of unanswered questions.

C.B., Huntington, Massachusetts
