Dear John:

Recently my Dad passed away and I made
a trip to Guatemala for his funeral. During
that trip I visited an Aunt. When I went into
the room she had prepared for me, there was
your book Reasons For Belief. I immediately
started to "devour" it because that is an
area that intrigues me a lot. I’m not much for
books on theology, but yours made it
through. Later on my cousins came
home. During our conversation, one of them
said, "Augie, I have a book I want you to
have. I know you are going to love it. The
author himself gave it to me at church." To
this I responded, "I am already reading it and
I was planning to break the eighth commandment
(you shall not steal) and take the book
home to San Diego with me." We laughed
and when I left my Aunt’s house, happily and
proudly, your book went with me. I read it
the whole time I was in Guatemala and I just
finished it last night, here in San
Diego. What took you to Guatemala? Thank
you for mentioning my country in your book.
I was told you live here in San Diego. I would
love to meet you What an honor it would be
to have your signature in my book, Would
you like to have a cup of tea with me and my
wife?

I know you are busy, but remember that even
Jesus took a break. (Mark 6:31)

God Bless You,

Augie Monroy
