Dear Friend,

The absolute foundation of a strong community, society, and culture rests in the spiritual and emotional health of the family units at its core.

That is why our televised Hour of Power, has, for the last 40 years, focused on encouraging and nurturing Christ-centered leadership in families and homes everywhere.

Yes, anything you invest in this ministry is creating and building powerful families of faith that will move our positive love and hope in Christ forward in future generations.

We depend solely and completely on your help, and the help of other loving persons just like you, who share our values based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and seek to continue seeing and hearing this positive, family faith-building message EVERY WEEK on TV.

Yes, we're in our 40th televised year! Think of it - 40 years!

Only three other weekly one-hour programs in television history have been on the air longer than the Hour of Power: Meet the Press, Face the Nation, and Sixty Minutes.

We are a miraculous and treasured media phenomenon in a modern world as we forward the timeless message of a positive, grace-filled theology of a loving, living God and Creator.

Thank you for your past help, and thank you, too, for the help I'm hoping you'll provide once again today.

And today I want to extend to you a copy of a brand new book, the second offering from our new and exciting Hour of Power Book Club, entitled:

Mommy Grace
Erasing Your Mommy Guilt

There is not a job on the face of the earth more important or more blessed than motherhood -
...and the role it plays in establishing the positive nucleus of a loving, grace-filled home and family environment.

It's been written by my married daughter, Dr. Sheila Coleman. (She and her husband Jim just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary.)

They raised four boys, my grandsons, now ages 29, 27, 26, and 22. They, along with my fourteen other grandchildren (and one great-grandson), deeply inspire my soul.

Sheila was raised in our home. (Arvella and I will celebrate our 59th wedding anniversary this June.) When our children were growing up, we as parents prayerfully sought to be positive followers of Jesus Christ. We exhibited this lifestyle constantly for our five children.

Essential in this lifestyle was GRACE - forgiveness and release from guilt - freely given.

EVERYONE, without exception, has felt guilty at one time or another.

Sheila's book, I believe, will help YOU (or someone to whom you can give this book) more fully understand and accept the all-encompassing love of God's GRACE for you...and me...and all humankind.

She has taken incredibly profound theological truths and expressed them in a way that will enable you, or someone you love, to more fully embrace and understand the very simple love that pours from the heart of God - unqualified GRACE.

This new book will guide YOU to rest in God's grace as he erases your guilt time and time again.

I look forward to hearing from you.

God loves you and so do I!
