Customer Reviews

Minor suggestion for improvement.

I have been using this resource for about 30 years. My father suggested it when I first became a pastor. Each year it gets better. As I have become more experienced, the "canned sermons" have become less important to me, and the other features more valuable. I think that indicates versatility and completeness. My only suggestion is to move into the 21st Century and produce an on-line version or a cd version, so I could cut and paste and print in bigger type.
