My sweet wife and I have really been blessed for the past six or seven weeks, allocating time every evening at bedtime to read a few chapters of the stories of your father*\u2026 Well, actually, \u201cthe story of God\u201d. \"wink\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t you fortunate to have been the one to receive the benefits of the best years of his life, growing up in his household of peace in order and godliness, and then to be able to interview him and compile all of these amazing memories?<\/span><\/p>\n

It makes me a little sad that in our age there are so many distractions and attractions and responsibilities and obligations that deter us (or at least most of us) from following after the Spirit as diligently as George Clark did. Your manuscript title is very apt: he truly was a \u201cpioneer of the faith\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can only express from a very grateful heart how thankful I am that God has put me under your wing, to learn the Truth, and that you have continued to obey God and walk in His wisdom just as your father laid the foundation for a life such as that. Both of you are examples of true men of God, and both Allison and I are blessed by the things we are learning to understand, a little here and a little there. Thank you for your wonderful writings. They enrich our lives every day and show us the way of holiness; and how we, too, can be a light in this world by Preacher Clark\u2019s example and yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Brad.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The biographical stories from my father\u2019s remarkable life could encourage and challenge any child of God, regardless of where they stand with Him, high or low. I cannot tell you how many saints have told me what reading those stories did for them. A life lived in the Spirit is a life that the grave cannot end.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for writing.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pastor John<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
