What I Hear From You
- Brother Hook, I just finished reading all five of your books,
very carefully. They were a lot to digest for a 43-year-old man who has
never known anything but traditional Church of Christ doctrine. But I
found your arguments refreshing and I found myself agreeing with almost
everything you said! My thinking has changed so much, thanks to your fine
efforts. I truly feel free for the first time in my life. God bless your
efforts. Surely His Spirit is working through you. -David Sanders
sandman@cafes.net, Shelbyville, TN.
- Love your books. We worship at Oak Hills Church of Christ (San
Antonio). I know your books have influenced many at this church! -Gary
Pieratt gapieratt@cs.com Castroville, TX.
- Cecil, Thank you so much for taking the time to write your
books. They have inspired me and many of my close friends. As I am
reminded, and also proud, my daughters are fifth generation Church of
Christ members. That doesn’t take away the urge I feel to see us escape
from legalism. It is time we move ahead. I am afraid I disagree with the
still living second, third and some fourth generation family members.
Thanks for your wisdom. -Steve Stow Stowbabies@aol.com Modesto, CA.
- I have been in the Christian Church for the past 22 years and
am a student of the Restoration Movement. Your ministry is going a long
way to further that ideal. Thank you for your efforts and may God
continue to bless your work. -Steve Widener aaii1@surfree.com Hot
Springs Village, AR.
- Great page. We need more like it out here in computer land.
-Valeri uncom_valeri@yahoo.com Gainesboro, TN.
- Dear Cecil, Thanks again for the continuing blessing we
receive through your ministry. -Ruth and Keith Skillicorn,
rkskilli@dove.mtx.net.au, Modbury, SA Australia.
- I was raised in the Church of Christ – a so-called "anti"
church. I am currently a faithful practicing Catholic studying to be
ordained a priest. I have great love for the Church of Christ, and I
salute the work done on this website to bring the Church of Christ into
fellowship with other Christians. On my own site, which is dedicated to
the Church of Christ / Roman Catholic dialogue (and which, admittedly, is
of a pro-Catholic apologetic nature), I have decided to feature Freedom’s
Ring ministry. -Jeff Childers, imfangio2@juno.com. Joliet, IL.
- I have been a member of the church since I was 18. I have
preached since 1956. With the permission of the Sunset elders I began the
Extension School of the Sunset School of Preaching. The longer I live and
the more I study, the less I know for sure. I appreciate your efforts to
bring us to grace. -Charles Wilson cwilson616@aol.com Madison, AL.
- Your site was mentioned as helpful by a fellow-divorced
individual; and I have enjoyed browsing through! Thanks for your
insights. -Janet Bray jbrayn@mailexcite.com Rogers, NM.
- About 20 families started a new family of God back in
January. We are a tolerant group of Christians who are bound only by
God’s word and not by tradition. We have a mixture of traditional and
contemporary worship. We are a family who believes in freedom in Christ
and are not bound by legalistic doctrine. We are now over 100 and are
outgrowing our present facility. -Mike Norfleet norfleet@prodigy.net
Hot Springs, AR.
- God bless your work ("blessed are the peace makers"). I find
your books refreshing and thought provoking. -Danny Vaughn
DanVonn@ftp.concentric.net Edmond, OK.
- Since I have discovered the Power of the Indwelling Holy
Spirit, I have been called "strange and crazy" by members who don’t
understand the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit. In my
discouragement, I was pointed to your site. Thank you for making a
difference in bringing the power of the Truth and making a difference
through it. -Holly Walker HollysHoly@aol.com Shreveport. LA.
- Enjoyed reading the articles. -Fred Mealio
fmealio@scican.net Paragon, IN.
- I know I am not the first to take a stand with you on leaving
our legalistic ways and returning to the grace of God. Your web page is
very inspiring to me as a Christian who has seen the church of Christ
divided over politics, race, institutionalism, music, progress, and
primitivism. I can honestly say that since I started attending Southern
Christian University two years ago and learned about our hermeneutics, I
was completely surprised. I support your efforts and pray with you that
we can all reach a unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. -Brother
Arthur Glover aglover@eagnet.com
- Greetings, fellow liberators. May God continue to bless your
work, Brother Cecil. -Lee Wilson thundersbe@aol.com Florence, AL.
