Letters & Conversations

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN I just want to say that I am finding the February Journal absolutely fantastic! The day after its arrival, I had read it almost from cover to cover. I just couldn't put it down, and I shall go back to it again and again.

ACCOLADES ON CROSS AND CROWN January's "Cross and Crown" Journal wowed me. The multi– facted ideas shared by every letter writer, testifier, Q&A responder, and article writer sparkled like precious gems! (Then again, every issue shines!) After I e–mailed a friend, giving my "take" on the entire issue, page by page, I realized that detailing its treasures amounted to nothing but words.

CHRISTMAS GIFT OF HEALING IDEAS What a beautifully wrapped gift the December Journal is. I couldn't wait to open it.

CONFIDENT DESIGN I want to applaud the changes in the Journal's design over the last couple of years. The use of color and design, often instead of photographic illustration, gives the magazine a very "whole" feeling.

LEAVE THE LIGHT ON Although I have just begun to read the October issue, I won't delay to thank you for it. William Ansley's example of the home in Topeka that kept a light burning all night for the travelers on their way West was just wonderful ["Awake to Love," p.

THANKS FROM AFRICA Max Polatin's article "Got air" in the August issue of the Journal [P. 52] is simply wonderful! We in the Nairobi Sunday School wish to thank him for reminding us, "Is anything too hard for God?" His skateboarding pictures look so brave, and he explains that his lack of fear is because his courage does not come from himself but because he is only reflecting the qualities of his Father.

AFTER LAPSE, READING AND REREADING Thank you so much for the feature "What these two books say about 5 Christian concepts" in the August Journal [p. 36].

HORTON FOOTE INTERVIEW COMFORTS My heart is full this morning with the depth of spirituality brought out in the interview with Horton Foote by Jeffrey Hildner [July, p. 34].

ACTION AS IMPERATIVE I was so impressed with the editorial "'The majesty of Christian Science' and its imperatives for our time" [June, p. 60] that I immediately resumed my lapsed subscription.

DOORWAY OF INSIGHT My long-held intention to write in appreciation of the wonderful inspiration I qet from the Journal articles has been spurred into action with Nathan Talbot's editorial "Closing those doorways into matter" in the May issue [p. 62].
