Russian Forgiveness
A friend paid to have my book on Forgiveness translated into Russian last year. Trying to help equip churches and Christians in Russia as the faith emerges anew after the long Communist slumber.
Remarkably, it is selling well.
She sent me this note yesterday

I just got a call ...from Anna in Mioscow and she said the Book on Forgiveness is selling better than any book that we ever had translated. I am glad you wrote it and that I had it translated. The money that is received from sales are used to print more. Forgiveness is needed if you want any kind of peace!!

We are dealing with publishers right now regarding our new book on cultivating faith in your children and how to do that. Kind of fun to see that project emerging.
If you would like a copy of the book on Forgiveness, check it out here.

What are we talking about exactly? Hundreds of books? Dozens?

I mean your book must not be selling that hot in the US judging by the fact that it is not even listed on Amazon.com. What do they have, like a million different titles? And your little "pint sized book" is not among them.

That is such a relative statement. What else did they have translated and published in Russia?

I can sum up your book in one word: brainwashing. Vladimir Illich Ulyanov (aka Lenin) himself has once said: "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
Little children are very impressionable. Tell them either that "Donkeys Can Talk, People Can Fly, And A Man Named Jesus Lives Up In The Sky!" (a book by Landover Baptist Press) or that "From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need" (Karl Marx) it does not matter. The little ones will swallow it hook, line and sinker; which is why the Bible commends "childlike (i.e. naive) faith".
See, I just saved some people here $20.

What's Allen Up To?

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-11 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!
