"God's Time Machine"
I am so thankful that the wisdom of God still exists in our world despite Satan's best efforts. I have a gained a lot of knowledge from many of your informative articles and am especially appreciative of the solid biblical context. In your last issue was an article titled "God's Time Machine," in which you quoted Isaiah 66:2: "But on this one will I look; on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word."
I love that text as it gave me so much perspective when I read it, and because it goes so dramatically against the grain of our culture. I was also wondering if you had any booklets on major Old Testament events and current evidence of them, such as the Exodus.

We recommend several resources. One is our free booklet Is the Bible True?, available at www.GNmagazine.org/booklets. At the same site you can also download pdfs of an earlier 24-part Good News series titled The Bible and Archaeology. You may also wish to access our free Bible Reading Program, checking the archives for the relevant biblical chapters.
Fruit of the Spirit series
The articles on the fruit of the Spirit in The Good News are exceptional and inspiring. Remember these are the fruits we need to produce to achieve our spiritual goals. They are very important. Please make these articles into a booklet. Enclosed is an offering.

Holidays or Holy Days?
I request your free booklet Holidays or Holy Days: Does It Matter Which Days We Observe? I have done a lot of research and have come to many conclusions about this subject. I have also come to the conclusion that Jesus Christ rose on the Sabbath and not Sunday.
I feel the same about Easter and Halloween and do not celebrate either of these days. But it's hard to talk with others on the subject. I can't find anyone in this town where I live who believes any of this. I know the church will think the same. I don't listen to man, but I read my Bible. And I have come to the conclusion that your church is like the one described in the Bible.

If you wish to discuss the subject further, we have e-mailed you the contact number of our elder in the area. You also may wish to request our free booklet The Church Jesus Built.
More about the Sabbath
How can I know more about the Sabbath day?
-A.P., London, England
We have mailed our free booklet Sunset to Sunset: God's Sabbath Rest. It covers the subject and all relevant biblical scriptures in considerable detail. If you have any further questions, we would be happy to help you.
Readers from Canada
I am just writing to let you know that reading The Good News and the [World News and Prophecy] newsletter surely opens one's eyes. Please keep sending the magazine and the newsletter. I enjoy reading them.
-M.A., Ontario, Canada
Thank you for having accepted me as a new subscriber to The Good News magazine. I enjoy the magazine very much. It is what I call "solid biblical food." I find it very generous of you to make your literature available for free. Please accept my check towards the costs of proclaiming the gospel.
-S.B., British Columbia, Canada
For almost a year now, I have read your magazine and booklets diligently, and I'm very impressed. They are leading me to a better understanding of the Bible. However, I am not sure which Bible I should be reading. Please let me know which version I should be using.
-R.J., British Columbia, Canada
We generally recommend the New King James Version, which we use as a basic translation in all of our publications. At times we also use some of the more reliable modern versions to help make the meaning clearer. To understand more, download our free reprint article "Which Bible Translation Should I Use?" at www.GNmagazine.org/reprints and our free booklet How to Understand the Bible.
Readers from around the world
Both my husband and I have grown spiritually because of your in-depth articles in The Good News. You have no idea how much I look forward to receiving each issue in the mail, month after month. We are both self-employed, but would like to make a contribution to your ministry one day soon. It will never match the richness your magazine has brought into our lives. May the Lord enlarge your territory and may the editorial team be filled with joy everlasting, knowing you have been good and faithful servants to our Lord Jesus Christ.
-E.O., Singapore
Thank you so much for sending me a copy of your magazine The Good News. I was so happy when I received it, but I don't have any idea who gave you my name and address. I am very fortunate to be one of the receivers of this magazine.
-V.I.S., Israel
Thank you for placing my name on your Good News mailing list. You are doing an excellent job keeping readers aware of the imminent appearance of Jesus Christ. I am not a Christian. I am a Muslim, but along with other Muslims I am waiting for Christ to come and bring Muslims and Christians together.
-A.S., Harlow, England
Thank you very much for your excellent magazine The Good News. I enjoyed it with all of my family. I also finished the booklet Jesus Christ: The Real Story. I don't have words to thank you for the complete information. Honestly, one day I would appreciate having the complete collection of your booklets.
-O.M., Bogota, Colombia
You have raised an issue that everyone wants to know more about: Why are the allies finding it so difficult to win the war in Afghanistan? Military power alone will not restore global peace and security.
-S.J., Ethiopia
Our free booklet The Gospel of the Kingdom will explain why the return of Jesus Christ remains the only real solution to our intractable global problems, including warfare.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping me understand God's great message. Life is a journey that needs people like you who wish to share the truth with us Africans. I am a young man of 34 years, still single and am prepared to serve God where necessary. Distances should not matter. People have lived many, many miles away from each other while doing the great work of God.
Professionally I am a medical laboratory technician working with the Ministry of Health Department. People are dying of tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS and other diseases. The number of cases is on the increase. Unless we involve God in the care of these patients, humanly we cannot do much in Uganda. He should be the One guiding us in what to do.
-R.B., Uganda
