Hi Jim!I've heard about Penton's books ever since I learned to use the computer, although I haven't read one as yet! I'm re-reading COC because when I first got it I must not have been emotionally ready for it and it hurt too much to really take it all in and get the full impact of what he was saying. It was right after I had decided to DA myself and I had a lot of issues to deal with at the time.I also have Ray Franz' second book " In Search if Christian Freedom" sitting right here to be read when I'm finished with COC, so I'll be kept quite busy!I hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself......we think you're a pretty special guy, if ya don't mind me saying so (blush)!Thanks for your comment........Big hugs,Annie
