The July-August edition of The Good News has enriched my knowledge, especially the articles "How Can You Help Restore the Disappearing Family?" and "Career, Home and Family." I have decided to appreciate my wife more than I previously did.
-J.A., Milton Keynes, England
I really enjoyed the articles on family life in the July-August Good News magazine. They were very clear and concise to my family and me as I have returned to work full-time now that my children are at school.
-T.M., Lewes, England
Thank you for sending the July-August issue of The Good News. I especially enjoyed the first article about marriage because my wife and I feel our marriage of 56 years is the focus of our lives and makes life worth living. We support and comfort one another, talk with one another, laugh together and find life a delightful adventure together. There was a time when some people would have disapproved of our marrying one another. We are of different cultural/ ethnic backgrounds because I am of Swiss descent while my wife is of English and Chippewa heritage.
-J.W., Blanchard, Michigan
I wanted to thank you for sending me a copy of your booklet Marriage and Family: The Missing Dimension. This very important publication changed my decision regarding my marriage. I've been married for five years already, but our marriage is somewhat shaky. We always fight because of many reasons and I decided that we should separate. I read the booklet and it opened my mind and heart for the preservation of our marriage. I now think that God is always with us through our difficulties.

As a retired science teacher in the Illinois public school system, I want to tell you that I really appreciate the articles you have recently published on evolution/ creation issues. There is so much to be said about the creation side of the evolution/creation debate of which most of the public is unaware. I hope you continue to educate people correctly on this vital issue. It is important because so many wonder whether God really does exist.
Part of the reason they have these doubts is because for such a long time they have been led to believe that much of what they have been taught in their science classes was true science instead of "scientific" speculation. Thank you for your efforts to reeducate the public on this important subject. People need to understand that the biblical accounts of events such as the creation and the Flood are not in conflict with true science. Please accept my small contribution to help you in this effort to educate the public.
-H.B., Bettendorf, Iowa
The articles on creation and evolution have been quite helpful to my family. My son, although raised as a Christian, had become confused because of the teaching of evolution at school.
-O.O., Glasgow, Scotland
I just wanted to let the members of the United Church of God know how blessed I am to have received the booklets you have sent to help me in my spiritual growth. I thought for sure that I was a lost cause. My faith in God has been restored and my attitude readjusted. I no longer feel insecure. I know now that I can find strength in God to handle many situations and I have found words of encouragement to be a blessing to someone else too. I thank God for this organization.
-L.W., Chicago, Illinois
Thank you for all the free literature and the which you provide. I grew up without any religion and then converted to Catholicism when I got married. I thought my life was perfect and never really thought about any life issues in the spiritual sense until recently. My 22-month-old son unexpectedly died and that led me to really question life's meaning and purpose. Through your literature you have given me hope for a better life in the future and helped me to cope with the loss of my precious son. I have enclosed a small contribution to help you continue in your efforts to provide the truth to people who seek to find it.
-T.L., Grand Prairie, Texas
Thank you so much for the material that I have received. It has opened my eyes and fed my spirit and my hungry soul. It has changed my life almost overnight. I can't get it fast enough to suit me. I pray that I will have a great testimony of God's wonderful grace and the saving love of His precious Son to share with you someday soon—when God restores my wounded soul and I start bearing fruit for His kingdom. Please accept this small token of my love.
-D.S., Las Vegas, Nevada
Thank you so much for your free magazines and booklets. I praise your ministry for offering such literature at no cost to anyone, anywhere, be he rich or poor. I and my family have been through many difficulties in life, but we are very grateful to your ministry for providing us with lots of teachings about our true Savior—receiving the true answers and solutions for our daily life. The literature is made easy to read and understand, leading to a positive way of life.
-S.J., Tanzania, East Africa
Thank you for The Good News, which is really worthwhile and an eye opener. Through reading this magazine I came to know that there is a vast difference between traditional beliefs and biblical truths and principles. Through reading The Good News my viewpoint has changed. Please continue to send it to me.
-A.D.J., India
I have just logged onto your online magazine and once I started on an article I couldn't stop. It has given me a hope that I never had before from any church. I have sometimes cried myself to sleep with worry for my friends and family's eternal destiny. I have been so often taught about them not repenting in this age and suffering an eternity in hell.
I have cried out to God to show me why He would allow such an awful existence to those He created and loves. Having read your articles, I have been comforted to see that my loved ones may be given a future chance to repent if they haven't done so before they die.

We, the Church of Jesus Christ of Papua, New Guinea, came across your address on a booklet entitled Who Is God? We found whilst reading through this booklet that we share the same faith.

Should you send us these resources materials, you will be informed on the outcome of our studies and how these resources are used in our ministry. We are praying to God to lead us to work with a Church of the same faith.
