An Amazing Fact: Legend says that
during World War I, a British soldier named Paddy survived the unthinkable when
his ship was torpedoed. Alone at sea, clinging to wreckage for days, he spotted
a soggy book floating by—a Bible. He began reading it, later saying it gave him
the strength to survive. A coincidence? Or do some books show up exactly when
we need them?
Garvin
wasn’t planning to find God that night.
He
was just browsing online, restless and curious. “Something” tugged at his
heart. He searched for Bible resources—and found Amazing Facts resources. So
moved by the messages, he wondered, “Will Pastor Doug ever be in my area?”
What he saw next stunned him—I was speaking in a neighboring town that very
night!
Garvin
drove two hours to hear me speak. Afterward, I recommended the book The
Great Controversy. He went home and downloaded an audio copy. That same
night, a student named Amber knocked on his door selling Christian books. Garvin
declined at first, but Amber handed him a free book—The Great Controversy!
Garvin
stood in stunned silence. That wasn’t chance. That was God working. And He used
you to make it happen!
An
Important Book for the End
I
believe The Great Controversy contains essential truth for these times. It
traces the cosmic battle between good and evil—from the fall of Jerusalem
through the rise of Christianity, the Dark Ages, and the Reformation into the
modern era. It upholds religious freedom and warns of coming challenges as
humanity approaches the final crisis.
I
am so convinced that this book contains present truth for the last days
that Amazing Facts has printed thousands of copies to share with others. We
gave it a unique title, The Fall & Rise of Jerusalem, which really
catches the interest of Evangelicals and millions of others who are watching the
ongoing crises in the Middle East.
A
Bold Distribution Plan
We’ve
been asking God how to get this life-changing book into the hands of the most
people possible. And we believe He’s opened the doors for something big!
That’s
why Amazing Facts is launching a focused media campaign in October.
We’ll air compelling commercials during prime time on Fox News, inviting
viewers to request a free copy of The Fall & Rise of Jerusalem.
Inside each book is an invitation to begin Amazing Facts Bible studies!
This
urgent outreach will cost about $4 per book. We estimate the nationwide
campaign—airtime, printing, shipping—will cost about $300,000. These aren’t cold
mailings. These are responses from spiritually hungry viewers, reaching out to
ask for something deeper.
And
that’s where we need you again.
Your
gift—whether it helps send five books or five hundred—will meet someone experiencing
a critical moment of searching. You’ll be placing this life-changing book
directly into their hands, just when they need it most.
As my thank you for your co-laboring gift,
I’d love to send you my latest message, “Saved in the Final Hour.” I
pray it will inspire your walk with God—and please share it with someone who
needs to hear it after you’ve listened to it! Please also share your prayer
requests on the enclosed reply card. We will pray for you!
Through a divine “coincidence,” Amber
introduced Garvin to a local Sabbath-keeping pastor, and Garvin is now studying
the whole Bible. “If you commit yourself to the Lord,” Garvin says, “He will
show you miracles!” Will you help arrange more supernatural appointments to
share God’s truth?
Praying
for miracles,
Pastor

Amazing Facts International
P.S. Garvin knew it was more than a
coincidence when a Christian student came to his front door and handed him the
book I had just recommended. You can share that same life-changing book
through a media blitz on Fox News in October. Your generous gift will
create divine appointments for those, like Garvin, who are searching for truth.
Thank you!
