Good work on the upgrade, Chad. I, too, really missed the site while it was down.

Here's to another chapter in the Talk-Jesus legacy!

[Peace Seeker]

Wow, the site looks great, and I'm glad to see that it is finally up and running. Thanks Chad for all your diligent efforts in putting together this new, revamped Talk Jesus!

I always check out a book in the public library for all my spiritual reference books so I am sure I love the book and it is filled with correct interpretations of the Word of God before making a purchase to use the book for reference. I will make sure to use the bookstore to purchase them when I come across a great book for my study.
