No sooner has John Grisham stunned us with one thriller than another hits the stands. After the initial success of The Firm, Grisham wrote The Pelican Brief in 100 days. That was fol- lowed quickly by The Client which he wrote in six months. And then just as readers have become aware of The Cliem, here comes Grisham again with The Chamber (1994). Granted, in three of his five novelsGrisham uses a formula, 80 these books should be easy to write, Grisham decided to use such a formula after he had a tough time his first book, A Time to Kill (1989). So the sec- ond novel The Firm was written as “a naked stab at commercial As he says, “You take some horrible, mean, vicious, nasty conspiracy. Then you put a very sympathetic hero or heroine in the = Festival middie of it. You reach a point where their lives are at stake -— and you get them out of it,” I guess he struck what people brought $1.28 million.

Posed vuotonuans Why Resist? Submitted by Pastor Bob Marsh, Calvary Baptist Church So often, today we are confronted with people who refuse to accept God’s invitation to be eternally saved. It is either not the right time, or they claim to be too busy, or maybe the change in life-style would be too great or quite simply they are not prepared to submit them- selves to the instructions of God. Some people simply refuse the invitation, even if it is pre- sented many times. Others may seek to discredit the message by maligning the messengers or even the Purposes of, gai in Bare ‘This is not a new od ‘th rh resistance some 2500 years ago.

Jehovah the God of their fathers sent his prophets again and again to warn them, for he had compassion on his people and on his Temple. But the people mocked these messengers of God and despised their words, scoffing at the prophets until the anger of the Lord could no longer be restrained, and there was no longer any remedy”. (II Chronicles 36:13b-16 Living Bible). God did not send his retaliation but that they may escape the wrath of judgment that that whosoever will put their trust in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will not perish but have eternal life. Don’t ignore such an We should learn a lesson from stone-cutting. In the past lettering and designs were chiseled out of stone by hand, now sandblasting is used to perform the task. The stone-cutter covers the surface of the stone with a rubberized coating. Later, he cuts the design and lettering out i ‘School Supe: Cheech tones Wodyot pte ben of the rubber, exposing the granite face. With the rubber removed and the granite exposed, sand is blasted on the exposed surfaces of granite until the design is perfectly etched in stone, leaving the rubber untouched.
