I. Items for PRAISE

1. For web server resources available at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA, and the webmaster Ernie Johanson, who puts material on this web page as he receives it by e-mail from Jim McClain, a professor at Citrus Community College, Glendora. Jim has a degree in computer science. I send him the material by e-mail after Ruth Fuller has edited it.
2. For Christian friends in the Silicon Valley who first urged me to compose this page and who continue to give valuable advice on how to improve it.
3. For bringing Jim McClain and me together about two years ago after reading my Unity of the Bible (Zondervan, 1992). Jim used his sabbatical in the fall of '95 to be coached both in Berean Bible study and in teaching the Bible inductively.
4. For giving Ruth Fuller the ability to be a sharp editor who greatly improves on my writing.
5. For God's remarkable providence in preparing me for this work during some forty years of teaching students at Fuller Seminary to be Bereans.
