From Costa Rica

This note comes from a man who recently did some translations for us (Luis is a linguist and translates several languages) and we sent him a box of books. His Pastor who speaks only Spanish, requested a box through Bare your Bookshelf, but we filled it here because of our Spanish inventory.

Dear CRI,

The goods you sent to us came very soon. They arrived into the Post Office on August 23rd. and I picked them up today, August 24th. Pastor Alvaro was very glad to hear his books had arrived and we will bring them to him next Sunday.

Thank you so very much. The quality of these books is outstanding, not only on account of content but of binding, paper, and font size. Thank you specially for the beautiful Hebrew-English New Testament. I love it. Hebrew touches a cord in my heart, I that can be said, since longer than I can remember.

Thank you too for the book on Creation. Thanks to CRI Books I have come to a better understanding of the importance the doctrine of creation has for the doctrine of sin and redemption by our Lord. In a nutshell, if the whole story of creation and the fall as told in Genesis were not true, then the whole life/ministry/death/resurrection of Christ would be meaningless, since He came to look for and save what was lost. If no creation/fall ever existed, then sin is an invention of some over the past centuries, and Christ died in vain, since he died for something that did not exist in fact.

Please tell CRI Books my learning and ministry have been expanded and enriched through your service and your work for the Lord is not in vain.

Again, if I can be somehow useful to you, please let me know.

May God bless you abundantly.

Sincerely,

Luis Diego
