In reply to Adedeji Adewunmi. You warm my heart! Especially your comment about other authors I've introduced you too. We may live thousands of miles away, but printed words travel on wings, don't they? --Philip

Good Afternoon,

My name is Adedeji Adewunmi from Nigeria, Africa. I was proposing to writing “am your number one fan” but that will not drive my love for your work. The first time i read one of your book (Rumors Of Another World), i felt i was reading the book of proverbs or job because of the spiritual poetic lining. Your wordings drives God into my space anytime i read your work. I started a journey to know more about God when i read the Jesus I Never Knew. I have read almost all your books, except for Vanishing Grace, in the space of six years. I was never an avid reader, with the help of your books, i come to love reading. Your work has introduced me to tens of other authors whom i enjoy reading their books now. I want to say a big thank you for walking in your life purpose because it has helped me found mine.

Warm Regards,

Adedeji Adewunmi
Lagos, Nigeria.

In reply to Philip Yancey.

I have been searching for a way to contact you. 1 simple question: Are you the author of, “Is there anything you can do to make God love you more? …….. love you less?”

Thanks,

John

My daughter’s godfather, who was actually old enough to be her dad’s dad, does photography for a living. He’s taken pictures of things for sale and photos of the imagery they use for cell phone screens & lock screens, and he’s also the Director of Photography for the documentaries he does. To most people that means he’s unseen and (they assume) not that important. There are hardly any famous cinematographers compared to actors and directors and especially producers just because they pay for where you film the movie.

In reply to Patti Peters. I feel so unworthy to receive this, and yet so grateful to you for writing it. Soul Survivor was my favorite book to write, because I got to write about my heroes while also reflecting on my own spiritual autobiography. To imagine that it would have this kind of effect on another person, though--I am humbled just to read your account. Bless you for taking the time to send me such a moving, articulate note.

Phillip
I appreciate your thought on a lot of Christian subjects, however one in particular I would like to respond to. Your thoughts on sin in general, whether homosexual, heterosexual or other sins that may be included in the above categories. Your blogs on these were very elusive as how to live a life unto the Lord, while you may struggle with the sin nature. The bible is always very clear on sin, and then Christs forgiveness and telling us not to sin anymore. So by your own admittance you remain neutral on so many views, but Christ was always very black and white on sin. I believe if we in the church aren’t, then this would render the cross and Christs’ death in vain. I would encourage you as a ” Christian” to consider your stance from a biblical view and this should render the definition of sin very clearly and help us all to see how we are to respond in love but also define sin for what it is. Alas we should all have a clouded view of how to truly serve our saviour and go about our business as usual and then we would have no affect on a lost and dying world, like so many great women and men of God before us did.

Sincerely
Your brother in Christ
Kevin
