I learned of desiringgod.com a few years back. But DG won a permanent place in my heart when they sent us a whole box of books for free. I'd simply asked if our little church could do payments or something. Instead, they gave us a case. <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Over the years I've become a regular visitor of the desiringgod.com site. I have been so very impressed with their openness. My audio library is full of piper sermons I've listened to while doing sermon prep. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I heartily endorse this ministry.</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Jason Franklin</DIV><DIV>Christian/Husband/Father/Missionary</DIV><DIV>Westwood Bible Fellowship</DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:pastor.jason@westwoodbf.com">pastor.jason@westwoodbf.com</A></DIV><DIV>web: <A href="http://www.westwoodbf.com">www.westwoodbf.com</A></DIV><DIV>blog: <A href="http://www.westwoodbf.com/tboc">www.westwoodbf.com/tboc</A></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Oct 26, 2007, at 5:55 PM, David Aikema wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I'm not sure if you folks are aware of John Piper or not, but recently</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">the ministry he runs - Desiring God - tossed up a statement on</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">providing free/open access on the internet.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Figured that some of you</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">might like to give this a read:</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/RecentlyAdded/2458_Make_it_Free/">http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/RecentlyAdded/2458_Make_it_Free/</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Dave</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">ChristianSource FSLUG mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:Christiansource@ofb.biz">Christiansource@ofb.biz</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://cs.uninetsolutions.com">http://cs.uninetsolutions.com</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
