Dear Sir or Madam: I am a currently enrolled undergraduate extension student and heard about your ministry through the lectures in a class entitled Critique of Psychology. The professor has quoted many of your books, speaking highly of your ministry. Furthermore, I teach a small Bible class here in the institution’s chapel. The prison system is inundated by way of materials that are sent in and distributed to us and through ministries that visit holding meetings in the chapel. There are, however, a small number of us here who are interested in Bible truth, yet as we are incarcerated cost is always a difficult if not prohibitive issue. As you can imagine there are many here, who are born again believers in Christ, who are still struggling with long-developed patterns of sin and the extreme majority have had extensive problems with drugs and alcohol in their past. Here the state has elected to turn to various "addiction therapies" as the "answer" to everything from sexual sin and violent crimes to the growing methamphetamine crisis. All of the programs offered within the Department of Corrections, including those that purport to be Christian, are tacitly if not overtly psychologized and lean heavily upon the medical model. To illustrate, the "drug treatment" director here is trying to get money together to buy copies of the Celebrate Recovery Bible for all in the program. Many with drug and/or sex crimes are required, some even court ordered, into NA/AA/SA and other anti-biblical groups. Prisoner |

Dear Bobgans, I just finished Person to Person Ministry and I have one complaint. In your next printing you should use yellow paper so that I don’t have to spend so much time high-lighting every word. Your book was about teaching believers to minister to one another biblically, and you personally ministered to me through your book. I can honestly say it is one of the best books I have ever read. I am ordering more copies to give away as well as some of your other titles that I don’t yet have in my Bobgan library. Please keep up the good work in demolishing psychological nonsense and proclaiming the sufficiency of Christ. New York |

Dear Friends, I have been receiving your newsletter for many years, and I have learned so much. As soon as it arrives, I read it from cover to cover. I was able to successfully go off all antidepressants a few years ago after having taken them off and on for 45 years. I am presently 64 years old. I have a few problems, but I am using your approach of concentrating on reading and obeying the Word of God, rather than focusing on the problem. Thank you so much for all your years of uncompromising devotion and hard work. Florida |

Dear Sir or Madam, I am an inmate in prison. However, before my arrest I was a psychotherapist with 16 years of practice. I had always had a behavioral bias in my practice and was of the opinion that rehearsing a trauma or blaming one’s parents was counter-productive to therapy. However, as an atheist, I had no standard to compare patient behavior in order to establish the functionality of what they were doing or what to help them to change it to. So, like my patients, I floundered until I stumbled upon a solution or my patients moved on with no solution. I needed and my patients needed an external moral reference—the Word. I came to Jesus in late 2001, just before my arrest. I was introduced to your newsletter by a minister here in prison. Since my conversion, the Lord has blessed me daily and I have never known such peace and joy as I do now. I hope to use my better understanding of how life should be lived in Jesus to help by brother inmates. Prisoner |

Martin & Deidre, Thank you for your May web letter. Well said! I made a marriage contract to live faithfully with my wife and raise children together. I kept my contract; she broke it and went to the court to take my sons from me. The boys’ teachers and many others testified I’m a good dad. The oldest son was old enough to legally decide which parent to live with, and chose me. But in league with two psycho-heretics, both of whom claimed to be Christian, the court played God and took away the sons God had given to me, not to the court. But God is watching over them, and those who played God will answer to the real God one day. I don’t envy them. Iowa |

Dear Martin and Deidre, A brief note here to express a voluminous amount of gratitude to you for being, to myself, a channel of the Lord for sound biblical doctrine, as concerns the wisdom of God versus the wisdom of man. How greatly I have needed the specific Scriptures you have quoted and stood upon, as well as the audio-visual, written, and thoroughly documented materials which you have published over the past several years. Ultimately I have been greatly edified spiritually, in that, by the Spirit-fed, Spirit-led approach which you have taken, you have set forth quite clearly that the Word of God, the Holy Bible, and the Christ-Life, manifested/empowered by the Holy Spirit, together with the godly counsel/fellowship of other spiritual believers, when all taken together, are more than sufficient to meet the emotional, mental, behavioral, and spiritual needs of all believers who are willing to rest confidently and completely in the wisdom from God, as found in the Word of God, the Bible. Oh, there is so much more I would like to thank you for, but neither your time nor my paper space would be able to contain it all! Tennessee |
