Hello. I haven't been on the forum for a while. But about 4 years ago I was fairly active. Anyhow, about that time, one of you bought and shipped me a couple of books on Christian apologetics. It was in response to a mildly combative exchange I was having with Ken Powell about the Bible and christianity.
I was hoping I 'd have a message saved from you but it doesn't look like it and I am afraid I don't remember your name.
I was pretty much a complete stranger and yet your desire to witness to me (Or whatever you call it) prompted your gift. It was super cool of you and I was very appreciative ... but it didn't really change my organic skepticism about various aspects of Christianity. Fast forward to the present and circumstances have changed.
Is my benefactor still here? Bro, if so, I want to thank you again for your kindness and share with you that I love Jesus and seek to better understand Him every day.
I'd be thrilled if you 'd leave a post or message me.
Until then, take 'er easy and may God bless you and yours.

I can't take credit for sending books, but I am glad to hear that you know where your help comes from.

Very uplifting and encouraging post. Wasn't me but thanks for the post.
This should give every Christian on here a good reason to stay out of strife and walk in the love of Christ.

I think Ken would like to hear of the happy ending, combative start or not.

"Good enough" isn't.

Was not me, but glad you found what you were looking for.
Be sure to pass those books along to someone else who might be searching...
