I would expect that they're keeping to the Aug. 1 release date, since I know for an existential certitude that the books have been printed. What I don't know is whether Amazon will do that thing they sometimes do where they ship so that it <i>arrives on</i> the first, or whether they will ship on the first.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-76410793403997295572011-07-08T00:56:26.884-07:002011-07-08T00:56:26.884-07:00DJP-

Mike, I hope you find a way to preserve it for your grandchildren.<br /><br />My family has multiple elders, most professing faith in Christ, who are approaching the end of their life. It has been piercingly sweet to see one's heart increasingly glow with love for Christ and hatred of sin. In another, a lifetime of sins left unexamined has led to an atrophying of sin in his life and heart. It's been instructive and both encouraging and discouraging on multiple levels. One will leave me with such thankfulness for a life that I want to emulate, so that I might have the same heart at the same age. The other will leave me with a serious warning to fight my besetting sins now in my "youth", so as not to burden my own children with the consequences of an atrophied heart when I'm old. That's a legacy too, of sorts.<br /><br />Can't wait to read that book.Rachael Starkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781158372237369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-74709898955456702842011-06-30T10:33:00.980-07:002011-06-30T10:33:00.980-07:00The Dickeys are clearly a family who understand th...The Dickeys are clearly a family who understand the Gospel importance of nearly every aspect of the death of a saint.Robert Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174579068882302654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-58771954802074209602011-06-30T10:20:57.983-07:002011-06-30T10:20:57.983-07:00The Gospel on a gravestone.

I really appreciate you posting it, especially so long after the original post.<br /><br />And thanks to all the folks who shared thoughts and ideas for the tombstone.

That makes me all the more dedicated to teach our boys, both in word and deed, about my love for God and the work of salvation He has done for me.<br /><br />I might add that we need to remember not to compromise with the world when it comes to our children. It will have the same effect on them as compromise has had on the church. We can't just wink at "little" things and say "it's just kids being kids". There are teachable moments throughout every day of a child's life and they are going to either be taught the truth or a lie...and we need to make the right choice.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987985549747283669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-959369346693085132011-06-30T05:09:11.472-07:002011-06-30T05:09:11.472-07:00>>Perhaps they left us property, land, money...>>Perhaps they left us property, land, money... but we'd gladly trade all of it for the legacy of a crystal-clear, unambiguous testimony to a living faith in Christ.<br /><br />I'd heartily say the same for what I want my father to leave to me. So of course that's what I should be working to leave to my sons as well. Thanks for helping me make the connection.<br /><br />Daniel MeyerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-38951035781795049192011-06-30T05:02:44.592-07:002011-06-30T05:02:44.592-07:00A good admonition.
