  What a great day! Our library displayed many of our artifacts on Archaeology Day at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Laura Brown and I shared the stories behind the rubbings and artifacts. I've posted pictures of the big event.

  May 18th is the day! Our library has been asked to partner with the Cincinnati Museum Center to present some of our artifacts in conjunction with their world-famous Egyptian exhibit. We are displaying several of Ward Patterson's Egyptian rubbings and artifacts. I have included here pictures of a few of the many items that we will have on display. Our exhibit will only be open to the public from 10 am to 2 pm, but there's a possibility that we may be asked to participate again... this summer while the exhibit is in Cincinnati. Hope to see you there! Dr. Patterson made these rubbings from stone monuments in Egypt. The first rubbing is a boat that belonged to a nobleman named Ti who took care of royal tombs. The second rubbing shows fishermen pulling some pretty good size catfish out of the Nile River. The third rubbing shows a sport known as stick fighting. The contestants have helmets on and are using bundles of papyrus reeds. The next rubbing shows a boat traveling the Nile with hippos and crocodiles in the marshes. One hippo is battling a crocodile. The last rubbing shows women returning from market with food and supplies in baskets that they carry on their heads along with ducks and goats that they are leading along. These are just a few of the many items that we will have on display. Hope you can come and see what we have.

  A great success! Thanks to all of the many people who attended the book signing. What a great time! I thought you'd enjoy seeing the photos that we took that day. You can still come to the library and see the historical displays and pick up a free copy of the Life of Christ by R. C. Foster. Thanks to Bob, Jack, Sam, and David

Sam himself held numerous leadership positions in churches, Bible colleges, parachurch organizations, church conferences, and conventions. Sam and his wife Gwen were classmates at Ozark Bible College. They were married at Center Christian Church in Mays, Indiana (the same church my wife and I grew up in and were married in). Their two children also have ministries. Jeff Stone is the senior minister at Bright Christina Church in Bright, Indiana, and Dave Stone has served the Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky.

You have a wonderful opportunity to meet Sam and to purchase one or more of his books, which he will be glad to sign. Sam is making copies of his many books available. These books have been out of print and are very hard to find. They are still wonderful resources for people in leadership roles in churches and for devotional reading. These books will be on sale for $10 each. (Earlier we had stated that they would be given away. We apologize for that error.)

  Bob Russell to attend book signing!

  This Friday, April 12, Bob Russell will be here to sell and sign his latest books! You have a great opportunity to meet and greet Bob. God has blessed Bob Russell in many ways. As a young man growing up in northern Pennsylvania, Bob had intended on becoming a high school basketball coach in his hometown. During his senior year of high school, however, Bob realized a desire in his heart to enter the ministry. Soon thereafter, he enrolled in ...Cincinnati Bible Seminary where he graduated in 1965.

  At just twenty-two years of age, Bob became the pastor of Southeast Christian Church. That small congregation of 120 members became one of the largest churches in America, with 18,000 people attending the three worship services every weekend in 2006 when Bob retired. Now through Bob Russell Ministries, Bob continues to preach at churches and conferences throughout the United States, provide guidance for church leadership, mentor other ministers and author Bible study videos for use in small groups. An accomplished author, Bob has written over one-dozen books. His latest book, “After 50 Years of Ministry: 7 Things I Would Do the Same and 7 Things I Would Do Differently,” was released summer 2016 from Moody Publishers.

  Don't miss this exciting opportunity to talk with Bob!
