| Posted 12/28/2001 3:05 AM (GMT -6) |   | Hi all-
My family and I are flying back to Beirut this Sunday afternoon. We'd appreciate your prayers. This next year I'll be working on two projects: 1) An Arabic study Bible for Muslims and 2) what I'm calling "Face to Face"--a Research Center for Inter-Faith Dialogue.
Lastly, I just finished Geisler's '97 book "Remaking God in Man's Image." I have to hope he's checking this site out from time to time and will see this. I honestly mean this; as I read his articulation of "Orthodoxy" I said repeatedly to myself, "I've never believed a good deal of this." Then as I read his articulation of the Open View I said to myself, "If I knew nothing about the open view I'd be VERY interested in finding out more. This sounds like a workable deal." In short, don't read this book if you're on the fence; it'll push you toward the open view.
And to all the Gatekeepers, a very happy New Year!
Tom

God Bless
Paul

Blessings,
Tom
