am?" Peter said, "You are the CHRIST, the Son of the LIVING GOD!"
Peter KNEW who, and WHAT Jesus was!
So now I'm making this offer to you. So you can GET TO
KNOW my father -- PERSONALLY. So you can "look over his shoulder"
in the amazing experiences that have finally culminated in this
great and growing, WORLDWIDE Work of God. You'll find out WHY he
began studying the Bible. You'll actually come to KNOW him,
PERSONALLY, by sharing many of his innermost feelings and
experiences. Few people have ever lived such an active, exciting,
eventful, or useful life. It is thrilling to read -- helpful and
inspiring.
Let me tell you what we have, coming off our own Ambassador
College presses, soon to be ready for you. A full-sized BOOK, "The
Autobiography of Herbert W. Armstrong" in THREE SEPARATE VOLUMES.
Volume ONE is just now completing! It's a big, handsome,
finely-printed, quality BOOK, containing thirty chapters. It's
fully ILLUSTRATED, with earliest pictures, including babyhood,
early teen life, earliest preparation for the advertising
profession, and all the unusual events which led to the ministry of
Christ.
Volume one brings you right up to the beginning of The
WORLD TOMORROW program on the air. It concludes with the
experiences leading to Volume One, NUMBER ONE of The PLAIN TRUTH.
I know ALL of you have wondered. You wonder what's BACK of
this work -- what makes it "tick?" WHO and WHAT sponsors it? How
did it BEGIN? ALL these questions, and many more, are answered in
this personal, intimate look into the life of my father. You'll
really KNOW the answers after you've read it. You'll know HOW
he was ordained -- and BY WHOM. You'll KNOW whether or not he was
a member of this, or that, or other religious organization.
Remember -- we have NOTHING for sale. This book is GIVEN
to you, freely, in the hopes it will inspire and encourage you;
that it will give you the real inside story about the Work of God.
As my father has written our subscribers before, this is not really
our work -- it is GOD'S WORK. It also is a PUBLIC SERVICE in the
PUBLIC INTEREST, carried on by an educational institution,
Ambassador College.
As I try repeatedly to make plain on the air, there will be
no follow-up -- and by that I mean there will be no subsequent
offers that will cost you money -- nor any request for
contributions (unless you, yourself, of your own free will invite
it). Often I say on The WORLD TOMORROW, "No one will call on you."
Let me explain, however, that IF any of our listeners or PLAIN
TRUTH subscribers write in REQUESTING one of our representatives or
ordained ministers to call for personal counseling, then of course
we will try to respond -- and for this purpose we do have ordained
ministers -- Ambassador College graduates -- stationed in all parts
of the United States, Canada, Britain, Europe, the Middle East,
South Africa, Australia, the Philippines. But no one will call on
you UNLESS you first request it, and then, NOT under any
