[Faith-talk] Rick Warren Books

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Paul,

Well, I'd throw them in the trash, but maybe 
someone here would like it. I did that with all 
my decks of playing cards, but that's another subject.

Yes, Rick Warren signed some sort of agreement 
with them, and had them read from their book at 
his church. Sorry, I don't know how to spell the book!

Blessings,

Linda
