A college
professor in CHINA
said that Unshakable Faith in Almighty
God is a hidden treasure. Dr. Eliza Karuthudaiyan said, “I am
a professor at a university. I am
reaching out to a number of students
and lecturers in my department. Your book Unshakable
Faith in Almighty God has led me step by step to increase my
faith in God. The steps that you explained are very practical and easy to
follow. This book is a hidden treasure that helps me
to enjoy the presence of God. Thanks for your ministry
and vision. I pray that God will multiply
what you are doing with Lamplight
Ministries so that you will be fruitful in many
more lives.”
An inmate in a
jail in colorado
said that Exchange Your Worries for God's
Perfect Peace got her through some bad times. This woman
said, “I have been in jail for two months.
I found eternal salvation here in jail. I believe that the Lord loves me so much
that I was put in jail. I think I would have been dead by now if I was not put
here because I was living a very fast and bad life. Now I am enjoying the best time
of my life with Jesus. I read your
book on peace here in jail. This book got me
through some bad times. The guard took the book from me. I am so sad that I don’t have that book any more. I don’t have any money,
but I pray that you will send me
another copy of this book. Please write to me
at the jail. God bless you.” (We have written to this woman
and sent her four of our books free of charge.)
A WOMAN FROM the
philippines
said that her life has been transformed by Exchange
Your Worries for God's Perfect Peace. Inez Mantz said, “Our family
has attended church regularly for many
years and nothing really interesting has happened. Your book, Exchange Your Worries for God's Perfect
Peace, has transformed my life. Great peace has come
into my life since I read this book.
I do not have money enough for rice.
Conditions are hard but I never walk through them
alone. When I fall back into my old
ways I say, ‘No, I will exchange this for God’s peace’ and it works. I am happy to have found such peace. Thank you, Mr. and
Mrs. Hartman.”
A man in china said that God’s wisdom is available to you IS
exactly what he needed. Derek
DuToit said, “I am a manager of a mining
equipment company
here in China.
Your book titled God’s Wisdom is Available to You is a great book. The
instruction in this book is exactly what I need. I really need God’s wisdom because I am
in a foreign land. Without God’s wisdom
it is not easy for me to make decisions which my
Chinese workers can support. My wife and children are waiting to read this book
when I finish. May God bless you and your family
with all heavenly blessings.”
COMMENTS
FROM JACK HARTMAN
Our new book is
being printed. you can order it now. As we write this newsletter, our
printer is putting the final touches on What
Does God Say?. I have just reviewed
the entire transcript and made the
final changes. We expect to have What
Does God Say? in our possession early in August.
I am very excited about this book. It essentially
contains in one book the essence of most
of the other seventeen books we have written. This book will give the reader
valuable scriptural information on
94 different topics.
If you would like to enjoy a closer
relationship with the Lord so that you can come
into His presence, you will receive specific scriptural instructions telling
you how to do this. Do you want to know exactly what the Bible teaches about
enjoying a long, full and productive live? We believe that many readers will be surprised at the many specific instructions God has given to you in
this area.
Do you have a problem with anger? Do you tend to be impatient? Would you like to know how to deal with
these areas? We have specific answers for you. This book will give you a
thorough, detailed and easy to understand explanation of what the Bible says
about prosperity. You will learn how radically different God’s prosperity is
from the prosperity of the world.
If you are concerned about the economy and other problems
in the world today, our scriptural explanation of how to overcome fear, worry and anxiety will be very helpful to
you. Are you afraid of death? The Scripture in our topic titled DEATH will be
very encouraging to you.
Would you like to read a clear explanation
of exactly what the Bible says about the last days before Jesus Christ returns,
the rapture of the Church and the second coming
of Christ? We believe that you will be very pleased with our simple and easy to understand explanation of Scripture
in this area.
These are just a few examples of the 94 different topics that are contained
in this book. This book contains 1,221 verses of Scripture. Each passage of
Scripture is preceded by a one paragraph explanation written in simple and easy to understand language. Even though
this book is extremely comprehensive, it is simple
enough so that an eighth grade student can understand it. We recommend this
book to you unconditionally.
As we have shared with you in previous
newsletters, ninety-one of the ninety-four topics are arranged alphabetically.
However, the first three topics titled HEAVEN, HELL and ETERNAL SALVATION tell
the reader what heaven is like, how horrible hell is and exactly what needs to
be done to live eternally in heaven and not to suffer in hell throughout
eternity. At the bottom of the cover
of the book are the words “Please be certain to read pages 25-49 very carefully
for facts on the most important decision you will ever make.”
You can give this book to friends,
loved ones and acquaintances who do not understand exactly what is required to
live in heaven instead of suffering throughout eternity in hell. We believe
that many people will receive eternal
salvation through Jesus Christ by reading the facts on pages 25-49.
If you would like to order one or more copies of What
Does God Say?, please fill out the information
on the order form at the end of this
newsletter. We will fill your order as soon as we can. We have a number of books to send out first to the people who

in the order they are received.

countries. We have

Does God Say?, please send us an

of this book that explains heaven, hell and eternal salvation. Also, please
agree with us that you will send us results of what happens when you preach these
scriptural facts. If you agree to this, please send us your mailing address and we will airmail you a free copy of this book
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO people in foreign countries

COMMENTS FROM JUDY
HARTMAN
Dear Lamplight
family,
You are so precious to me.
I thank God for each one of you. How I would enjoy sitting together and just
exchanging what is important to each
of us. So, I will speak to you as if we are sitting down and having a glass of
lemonade (lemon
and honeyJ).
Our trash reveals my
conviction to clear away anything that is not of value. Bags of papers that I
have gone through to glean gems are
piled on the curb. One gem was to
see notes and the phone number of a
dear man whose ministry is dedicated to Ukraine. I called him and asked him
if he might be interested in
financing the reprinting of Trust God for Your Finances in Russian and
have them distributed in Ukraine.
He has a man who wants to underwrite
this project. I put my friend in
touch with Pastor Victor Petrenko in Ukraine
whom I met
while we both attended The River Bible Institute in Tampa.
Together these two saints of God will spread the gospel in Ukraine through Trust God for
Your Finances.
We find repeatedly that Trust God for Your
Finances is written and translates into very easy to understand language.
The principles are so simple and
easy to follow when we grasp what God instructs us to do. People in India, Zambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Pakistan, China,
and the Philippines, to name a few,
are being set free to live in victory in Christ Jesus regardless of what is
happening in the economy of their
nation. We must live with the same strong faith of those who have very little
because we do not know when our very comfortable
lifestyle may be modified or changed dramatically.
“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things
work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love
God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.” (Romans 8:28
amp)
We received a donation from
someone who gave to a foundation
which in turn sent us a check. I called the foundation to say thank you so very
much. As I spoke with the lady, I
began to realize that this foundation is exactly the answer to my seeking help in presenting to you many different ways that you can give to Lamplight. I had talked with Prepaid Legal just last
week inquiring into this matter. The
lady said that there is an office of the foundation in Tampa.
I told her that my longtime friend is associated with a similar foundation. She looked up his name and it is the same
foundation!
I will be discussing with my
friend how to set up Lamplight
Ministries, Inc. as a ministry to
receive donations through this foundation. There are so many
ways to give to the gospel in addition to finances. We have received requests
for automatic withdrawals from personal bank accounts which is part of what this
foundation provides. The income tax
deduction will be the same. I am so excited to be able to present to you these
opportunities. We will be associated with a long standing- organization with
experts of excellence in each field of giving. God is answering my desires so wondrously.
Have you checked out my
information about health on our
website? I will be updating it regularly
as I continue to study health as I have for forty-eight years since I was
twenty-one. My goal is to help people live in vibrant health until their very
last breathJ
Translations of our books soon will be placed on our
website. We will add more each month. Our out of print books will be available free
of charge on our website: Deep Inner Peace, Soaring Above the Problems of Life, and Strong Faith for the Last
Days. We have copies of Strong Faith in German.
Please let us know if you have any German
speaking people to whom you would
like us to send a copy. The Spanish paraphrase of Trust God for Your
Finances by Dick Maxwell will be placed on our website for free as well.
We invite you to visit our website to see the
announcement of our new book. We
would be so pleased for you to make
a comment
on our website about how our books have blessed your life. You will bless
others and increase the value of our websiteJ
Blessed to be a blessing (Genesis
12:1-3),
