Dr. Barry, I want to thank you for all these valuable insights that you have given here. I want you to know that your expertise and your attitude is deeply appreciated. May the Lord make this site a blessing for many more people as it has been for me.
I’m very much interested in receiving this material, but don’t know how.
I discovered that a friend could not download the material. That surprised me. I’ll be looking into that
during the Easter break. I’ll make an announcement if we are able to resolve any difficulties. Thanks, Barry.
Bonnie,
Sorry for the year delay! Once you get to the file you want (use the search engine for best results), click the button at the top right corner (the pop out function). Then scroll down the first page of the chapter, and several icons will pop up above the file. Choose print.

download it and print the pages.

Not a student there. Christian looking to improve. Is there a place to download this book?
Pat,
Book 1 is not published yet, thought completed.
We want to make all the mp3 files available on this web site first.
And we’ve found some problems with the web site. Sorry for delay.
I’m teaching full-time, and very busy. Will try to attend to these details soon.
