JUNE 2013

Dear Friends:

I write this month’s update now having spent a total of six months relocated back to North Texas. Not only is my presence here no longer a “dream”—but I am actually handling the heat pretty well, as it is a dry heat after all!

As I enter into the month of June, I have just printed out (09 June) the rough draft of the forthcoming paperback and eBook commentary James for the Practical Messianic. Seeing that this volume was appropriately updated and expanded, it was the last project “hanging over my head” from while I was still in Central Florida. About eighteen months or so after TNN Press announced the release of eBooks for Amazon Kindle on November 2011, only six titles now remain in June 2013 for final editing and formatting! This is a significant feat, and I can definitely say that a huge amount of pressure is off of me. So, expect to see the number of available eBooks and paperbacks from TNN Press to rise this Summer to around forty.

This hardly means that the work of Messianic apologetics is over! As we look toward the month of July, work on the Big Four, as I have termed them, now begins! I have already shifted around some books on my unofficial “open projects” shelf in my office, to reflect the new titles on which concentrated work will start. The Big Four, with one title likely to be completed by the close of the Summer, include the books: the Messianic Torah Helper, Torah In the Balance, Volume II, the Messianic Sabbath Helper, and the Messianic Kosher Helper. These have been listed in the probable order of release, which has been determined solely by how much work is to be completed for each title. I cannot stress enough that there is no person more anticipatory than me, to see these all released. And by the end of August, the Wednesday Night Bible Study will be shifting toward a lengthy, and likely year-long examination, of the Epistle to the Romans—which I am sure many of you will be looking forward to! Much of July and August will be spent by me preparing for the first few weeks of this study.

Some significant progress was made this past May for the Theological Defense Trust—Amazon.com Book Reviews front. The TNN Press title The New Testament Validates Torah has been listed at #3 in the Messianic Judaism Top Rated section for Amazon Kindle for a number of weeks. This certainly gives us a highly valuable presence, as people will click on this book and see our other titles. We are greatly appreciative of all who have joined us with this, and encourage you to keep those book reviews coming!
