Hi there. One more day and about 11 1/2 hours to go in this month. We're near 3k plays for the month with just over 2000 streams/downloads coming via the cell phone. I thank you for your interest in this ministry (primarily, the Puritan books). I hope you all have a pleasant week. :-)

I wanted to offer an idea toward discipling yourselves in the manner that I was discipled in, from January 2006 until the last posted narration. Lots and lots of sermons, books, and practical application of what I heard and read. That's what this ministry is, essentially. One man's journey into the best knowledge attainable. This isn't narcissism on my part, but a humble exhortation to devote all you can to the study of Scripture and applying it to your lives (said it twice for emphasis).

Hi friends, Please stay safe out there if you're in the crosshairs of this brutal storm. Some areas may lose power over the next couple of days (some may have lost power already). My prayer for you who are in this, is that the Lord Jesus Christ will bless and keep you safe from harm. Brother Duane

Hello friends of the ministry. While my life-force remains strong, my body is failing. I think it's something going on with my nerves, as I'm experiencing numbness and tingling in both arms and legs, while at rest. This is new to me. Add in the constant headaches, clogging of my ears, and pain in my eyes... well, you could conclude that I'm in tough shape. I'm taking antihistamines for the eent stuff, and it's helping. I'll do the best I can, to get today's narration done. Brother Duane

Brother Rich Hall pointed out to me, that my recording of Samuel Bolton's book, "The True Bounds of Christian Freedom", couldn't be heard. I went to check on it, and he was absolutely right. I couldn't hear a thing on the last two chapters, and chapter 7, was cut off 45 minutes into the sermon (this was a long narration too). Therefore, I will be re-recording the entire book. The new recordings will replace the old ones . I will let you know when they are completed. I begin tonight. Brother Duane

Thank you, to those who put up with the ups and downs, highs and lows, of the spiritual warfare that i daily engage in. The consequences sometimes, of constant engagement with Satan and his legions of malefactors (the 1/3 of the Host that were cast out with him), can wear this minister down from time to time. This is why I need your prayers so desperately. (Hebrews 3:13, James 5:16) Brother Duane

I must do as God commands. Two weeks of heart trouble have convinced me that I have no choice in the matter. I will continue reading. I do hope that folks will understand the necessity of at least praying for the minister. As I am only human, I apologise for getting angry at the total lack of communication. It's hard to have a congregation that remains virtually silent, save JMS and Benjamin. That's what you are, friends. My congregation. Please stop looking at me as merely a book narrator. It hurts.

I don't anticipate ever returning to this ministry again. It is in Legacy mode as far as I'm concerned. Goodbye.

Hello friends. I have two more chapters to complete in the "Great Concern", and then the book ministry will be finished. I feel that there's more than enough material to disciple whomever is led to grow in the faith. Besides, preparation for eternity is a good ending point. I may preach again in the future, God knows. I'll send a final message when the book is completed. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless and preserve you. Brother Duane

Hi Friends. I made a few mistakes in narrating the last portion, so I think I'll ease off on reading more than two, or three times a week. Also, It really bothers me, that only a few people have even bothered to talk to me, or with me, or come to me for counsel. After all, how to Doctors of Theology get their degrees... yeah: by reading books. I'm more than just a source of entertainment, or an "on-demand" service. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless and preserve you. Brother Duane
