“Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth. I care not if I never raise my voice again for Him, if only I may love Him, please Him. Mayhap, in mercy, He shall give me a host of children that I may lead through the vast star fields to explore His delicacies whose fingers’ ends set them to burning. But if not, if only I may see Him, smell His garments, and smile into my Lover’s eyes, ah, then, not stars, nor children, shall matter, only Himself.”
~ Jim Elliot
P.S. Jesus: A Theography hit the #1 spot on Amazon this weekend in the “Jesus” category and it was in the low hundreds on Amazon most of the weekend. I appreciate your willingness to buy the book and want to thank you in advance for telling your friends about it.

Wow, that is a beautiful quote.
Ordered 4 copies last week on Amazon…for myself and the three young women in our home…going to start reading and discussing weekly 🙂
Frank,
Wonderful to hear people have received your book so well. I bought it last week and have begun to read it. It proves to be a breath of fresh air after having recently struggled through E.P. Sanders’ “The Historical Jesus,” in which he deeply discounts the inpiration of Scripture, claiming Matthew, Mark, Luke and John “invented” most of the story of Jesus.
Congratulations! I’m enjoying reading it and we have bought copies to give as Christmas gifts, at a great price!
WOW! That’s great Frank! It really is an awesome book!!!
I recently ordered mine! I’m looking forward to reading it and buying additional copies for my friends and family.
It really is an incredible price. I know as I was reading I kept thinking, “this book is only about $10?” I would have thought it’d have been priced at least twice that.
