When I first began to work on this web site, I did not realize that I would end up feeling led to publish my book on it, but that is essentially what I have done.  Because of this, the substance of my book is now free to anyone in the world with access to the Internet---and I like that.  My original plan relating to the marketing, distribution, or use of what is in my book was kind of similar to this, as reflected on its copyright page.  It reads as follows:

​

The purpose for this notice (the copyright notice)  is to prevent reproduction of any part of this book for financial gain.  However, churches may feel free to copy portions for studies to be distributed free of charge.  Of course, it would be a blessing for me to know when this has been done.  Although this study can be purchased for oneself, what is really on my heart for its distribution is similar to the "pay it forward" concept from the popular movie.  As an outreach supported by my home church, my initial plan is to present it freely to fellow Christians, pastors, and other church leaders.  Going forward, those who believe in its merit are simply encouraged to purchase a copy to present in the same way---paying it forward.  By this plan, you would only be purchasing a copy of this study if you feel that it teaches the truth and for the purpose of giving it to another---asking them to do the same.  Pastors who agree with the view of this study could lead their congregation to do similarly.  If you prefer, when finished, you could even give your copy to someone else, passing it forward.  Or, if the subject ends up not catching your interest, you could return it by passing it backward to the person who gave it to you.  In whatever way a person or a church may feel led in regard to this study, my prayer is that the outcome will be as the Lord sees fit for His Kingdom purposes.

​

     Though many copies of my book have been given away and its substance is now going to be freely available on the Internet, this does not mean that my work can be considered public domain.  As with my book, the reproducing of what is found on this website for financial gain is forbidden.  Not knowing to what extent my view will be accepted, I have wondered what the best wisdom will be if it becomes accepted and other authors desire to incorporate it in their own works.  On the one hand, I would feel honored that my work be thus recognized by other genuine and mature brothers and sisters in Christ.  On the other hand, there are troubling elements in the world of publishing and the Internet, such that I should not need to elaborate.  If some use of my work---beyond what copyright laws normally deem acceptable---is desired, I would only ask that I be granted the courtesy of being contacted about it.  It would be my hope that such a contact would lead to the furtherance of sound doctrine and rewarding Christian fellowship.  As normal, and for the sake of truth being provided in a manner that God would see fit, no permission will be considered legitimate unless it be in writing.

     Finally, I certainly feel that my view has a significant contribution to make concerning the subject of the rapture and other truths relating to the last days.  Though I may be wrong, I cannot help but feel that God has spoken to my heart concerning what I have in this website put forth.  For the open and honest mind, I believe the solidness of my view will be recognized by how everything falls into place, like with no other view that is presently out there.  Whatever the truth of the matter is found to be, I dedicate this website, as I do my book...
