    So enjoyed watching you and listening to the tutorial for Adam Villiers' song "Show Me The way to your Heart", Brian.  My 16 yr old likes this song, and now he has a visual guide to learn to play it and bring it into the Wednesday night teen service.  I don't know you personally, but I think your heart is evident in what you do with your gifts.  Thank you for encouraging me in my songwriting, though you will not remember having done so.  Thank you for encouraging others and sharing your gifts.  That is a sign that you love God's people and I know that pleases Him! Sincerely,  Kathy Kerber

    Hi Brian

    Just to say a BIG thanks for your book Make Love Make War which I bought recently. It's been a real blessing (and challenge) especially Chapter 7 (How long oh Lord?).

    With thanks and blessings
