Dear Tom,
Thanks so much for the comments on The Shack in the August issue. We know many "Christians" who relish the book. I know the material you offer will help us defend the truth. F&MM (TX)

TBC,
Thank you for your faithful work each month.  My only hope, as I open my Berean Call email, is that you might make it twice as long as it was the previous month! God certainly blessed me when I started receiving your newsletter. May God continually bless your work. SK (email)

Dear TBC,
[Thank you for] seventeen years of blessing and information I could get nowhere else. I wish you could do two newsletters a month, as I devour it the day it arrives. You are blessed by the Lord, and I so thank you for sharing what you have been given by Him with others. JW (OK)

Dear Dave and Staff,
I, along with doubtless thousands of us, am much relieved to hear you are on the mend. You and your staff are in my daily prayers and I am thrilled to hear how God is answering. I am so grateful for your love for and commitment to Israel. As we read of their superiority in military and intellectual arenas, it would be hard not to recognize God's special influence on this people. Thank you for your biblical perspective and love for the Truth. May the Lord be pleased to keep you around for many more fruitful years. PB (MN)

Dear Brothers Dave & T. A.,
Before anything else, I want to thank you both for your ministry and your faithfulness in serving God and His people. I have been a Christian since shortly after my original arrest some 16 years ago, having been born again by the free, sovereign grace of God. During the course of those years, I have had the opportunity to have read a number of your books and have been blessed, encouraged, and challenged in the doing. I am also a regular reader of The Berean Call, which also has been a blessing. Thank you, and may our great God and Savior strengthen and encourage you both as you continue to walk in His love.

Dave Hunt,
I just rec'd an e-mail from a customer, and she sent me info from your critical web-site. I asked her a question. Where do these guy's make up this stuff? Then I mentioned, perhaps Mr. Dave Hunt and his friends were standing outside my window when I was worshiping Yahweh, while blending our Third Heaven Vision anointing oil. Thanks for the article, Dave Hunt [see TBC Extra, 5/06, "'New Reformation' Prophets Peddle Products With Promise Of Power"]. I made a copy of it years ago. I'll be glad to send you a bottle of our Third Heaven Vision anointing oil, perhaps you would enjoy it. You've cursed us, for that I forgive you in Jesus' name. Please consider taking those logs out of your eyes. TP (email)

Hi Dave,
I appreciated the many insights in your book, What Love Is This? [see Resource Pages] in regards to the false teaching of Calvinism. I totally related to the ficticious "Al" in your book. That really mirrored what I have gone through and at times am still going through. I was gloriously saved and believed Christ died for my sins, and with that came all the new desires and affections and changed actions. About four years after I got saved, I started to see election and predestination and started searching into that. Well, I became a "Calvinist." The only problem with that was that doubts and fears started to arise [as to] whether I was one of the elect....It seems the Calvinists, or at least a lot I have read (Puritans, Pink, MacArthur, Shelton, Piper), always address the assurance of salvation and that examination is imperative, and yet they never really say (other than MacArthur) that you can be absolutely sure of your salvation. They stress this idea that those with a false faith can act very close to those who have a true faith (that's a great shot in the arm!) and that our heart is so deceitful that we can really deceive ourselves, and that it seems to please God to bring people close to salvation, with apparent evidences of a new life, but actually still not be saved. That has been the hardest for me to overcome. It seems clear from Scripture that those who have trusted Christ and have been born again are clearly evidenced from those who haven't (1 John:3:10). Anyway, thank you for the book. It has been a blessing. I'm sure I will refer to it several more times. From a recovering ex-Calvinist. JL (email)

Dear Dave,
Your TBC for July, "Stars and Stripes Forever?" was power-packed, timely, anointed! I've read it (every word) three times [and] will no doubt read it again. If only every "Christian" in America were sincere enough to take it to heart and pray God's will for Israel and America in the days ahead. I am so glad (and know it's no coincidence) that Benjamin Netanyahu leads Israel now. Clinton treated him shamefully! God bless, keep, and supply all of you with your needs to accomplish His will in the days ahead. JH (WV)

Hello Dave,
Just a short note to let you know that I thank our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for the ministry he has entrusted you and Tom with. I have been blessed with all of the learning materials I have, by the grace of God, been able to purchase during such a famine for the Word of God in the nation where I currently reside. I have listened to the Gospel of John discussions and expositions on mp3 and I have read many of your books from Beyond Seduction to In Defense of the Faith....Thank you for being faithful to the Word of God and for sharing what God has taught you.
