Letters From Our Readers

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! At last, a plausible chronology of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection in the March-April issue. I have long been troubled by the difference between "Good Friday afternoon with early Easter Sunday morning" and the three days and three nights stressed in the Bible. Even taking into account calendar differences didn't answer my doubts. The summary at the bottom of page 18 of your magazine is excellent.

Please tell me how I may obtain about 24 copies of that article and summary. My Friday-night Bible Study is interested in reading it.

The Good News is committed to explaining and clarifying the truth of the Bible, even when it conflicts with commonly held beliefs. We encourage our readers to follow the example of the Bereans, complimented in Acts 17:11 because they "searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."

As a 19-year-old Christian girl, I enjoy The Good News. Each time I receive one of your issues I can't wait to open it up and read. It answers so many questions that I have. I keep every one of them, and I share them with just about everyone. Thank you for such a great publication.

Could you also send me any other publications you may have. I know of two-What Is Your Destiny? and God's Holy Day Plan: The Promise of Hope for All Mankind. I would very much appreciate it.

Your booklets have been mailed. In addition to the two you mentioned, four other booklets are available, free to any who request them:The Road to Eternal Life, The Gospel of the Kingdom, What Happens After Death? and Sunset to Sunset: God's Sabbath Rest.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your magazine through 1996 and I am enclosing $3 to help with postage costs for 1997.

Your articles on Bible history, archaeology and the real birth date of Christ are my favorites. My father is a retired minister, and reading your magazines is like having a good, long afternoon chat with him!

Keep up the wonderful articles in the future. How I wish you folks could afford to publish on a monthly basis!

Just a note of thanks for The Good News! It is refreshing, delightful, and challenging. I appreciate the opportunity to renew my subscription and will aim to make a contribution to the support of it. I acknowledge that such is not necessary to continue receiving it, but it does cost money and I hope to be able to assist in the near future."

Thank you for sending your magazine. I have to tell you it was not what I expected. It did not have much "good news."

The first piece in the September-October issue was "The Source of Violence and Terror"-that's not good news! Then your article "Neither Shall They Learn War Anymore"-I couldn't find any good news in that. In fact, it's positively depressing! How about "Drought Conditions Reach Crisis Levels"-I'd have to say that is bad news.

Is there no "good news" in the world? I'm sure there is. Please do not send me any more of your "Good News." I can see that on TV and in the daily paper.

Cathedral City, California

We agree with your assessment that the world has plenty of bad news. However, we are committed to showing why the world suffers from so many problems. The overwhelming majority of human sufferings can be traced to humanity rejecting the revelation and instruction of our Creator. The Good News is dedicated to showing the answer to our dilemma-for all men and women to turn to God and seek His revealed solutions.

We are also committed to proclaiming the true gospel, or good news, Jesus Christ taught-His announcement of the coming Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15). That truly is good news, the best news this world can hear.
