Two corrections The Journal published incorrect biographical information in two editor's notes that appeared before the bylines of two writers of articles in issue No. 139, dated June 17, 2010. The note before Luke Przeslawski's editorial on page 3 that ran under the headline "Better to Prune Now Than Languish Later" should have said that he and his wife, Julie, attend Sabbath services with the United Church of God. The note that preceded Ken Westby's byline before his essay on page 9, "The Power of One Suffices Even If You're the Last Man Standing," also included incorrect information. The call-in phone number for Mr. Westby's Virtual Church, which attendees may dial any Saturday at 11 a.m. U.S. Pacific time, is actually (916) 233-0562. Coulter Bible doing well PASADENA, Calif.--Bob Ellsworth of CenturyOne Bookstore says Fred Coulter's Original Order Version Bible is selling well. Mr. Ellsworth furnished The Journal with some statistics. o The first edition of 10,000 copies sold out almost immediately in June 2009, so Mr. Coulter has taken delivery of a printing of another 12,000 Bibles. "As far as we can determine," Mr. Ellsworth said, "this surprising sales record made this the best-selling new Bible of 2009." The success of Mr. Coulter's Bible translation makes it "the first major commercial publishing success by any Ambassador graduate and/or former WCG minister," Mr. Ellsworth said. The Bible "eclipses in quality and craftsmanship even the famous Oxford and Cambridge wide-margin Bibles." He said he thinks of the volume as "the Envoy of Bibles."

Church of God plans to sponsor a lecture by best-selling author Joe Kovacs on Aug. 6, 2010, in the church's building. Mr. Kovacs, an editor at WorldNetDaily.com, a popular conservative news Web site, wrote Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You Have Never Been Told. Besides talking about his book, Mr. Kovacs "will also have the sermon time on Saturday, Aug. 7, at the Tulsa church building at 1 p.m.," announced Aletha Dennis. In anticipation of the event, The Tulsa World ran an article, "Book Challenges Bible Myths," on July 31. The article noted that Mr. Kovacs' book was an "instant sensation" on Amazon.com, ranking No. 1 in three categories. As the Tulsa paper noted, he writes of a Wednesday-afternoon crucifixion and late-Saturday resurrection; that Christmas observances are pagan; that people don't go to heaven when they die; and that (and here the Tulsa paper quotes Mr. Kovacs) "when the Philistines stole the ark of the covenant, God whacked them with a seven-month-long case of hemorrhoids." |
