I just finished reading Michael Feazell’s book The Liberation of the Worldwide Church of God.

I am attending a Bible church in Denton, Texas. After reading your book, I realized how much I must support my spiritual mother, even if it was guilty of bad theology. After all, I believe I learned a greater lesson, that of love and trust, and being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes following the Holy Spirit means leaving dogma behind and stepping out in faith. Your book has been a great part of the purging of bad theology I have been going through this past year.

God has inspired you [Michael Feazell] to hit another home run with your article in the March WN. "Take the Leap" helps to bring into focus this wonderful gospel of grace.

I’m amazed at the different understanding of the Scriptures I have with this wonderful understanding. The gospel is so exciting that you’re just bubbling inside to tell everyone about this good news.

Mike Zorn’s article "Life After War" (May WN) raked a lot of old memories back to the surface. I am glad that more combat veterans are coming forth with actual experiences and statistics to let others begin to hear what war is really like.

I have been vocal on the subject for some time now and have written numerous articles to different publications only to have many of them rejected because the contents haven’t been watered down enough.

Reading the article and also between the lines makes me reaffirm my long-held opinion that few comfortable civilians possess the slightest inkling of what is involved in actual warfare, and a much larger number don’t even want to have to hear about it.

This in my opinion is a good part of what accounts for veterans as a whole just learning to keep their mouths shut. That is why I so much appreciate those who, like Mike Zorn, are willing to expose their innermost selves in an attempt to inform others. I think that it takes guts.

I wish more veterans would do it, and more publications would print it. I believe if a person has any aptitude at all to put these things down on paper that they have a responsibility to their families and generations to come to be doing it. And I would encourage them all to do so.

That was an excellent article, and I didn’t finish it dry eyed.
