• Greg and his Stand to Reason team are leaders in
  bridging the crucial gap between academic
  scholars and the man in the street. Putting shoe
  leather to theories, Greg practically challenges
  both Christian and non-Christian alike to think
  more deeply about the truth and viability of a
  Christian world and life view.Dr. William Lane
  Craig, philosopher, author Reasonable Faith

• One of several emails after the STR radio
  program/podcast
• Hi Rob,I was just listening to the latest
  podcast of Stand to Reason and it turns out you
  just won the weekly prize draw for signing up
  with the frapper mapfor the STR community.
  Anyway, if you havent heard, Greg also plugged
  yourwebsite/organisation, so I ran off to find
  it.I just thought id reach out and say Hi, as a
  fellow apologist and brother in Christ. I live
  in Auckland with my wife and have been self
  studying (mostlyunder Greg) for the past three
  years. I've been wondering about how to usewhat
  knowledge and skills ive gained to effect our
  country, so was thrilled to hear of someone
  already getting on that wagon.If I could offer
  any assistance at anytime, for mostly anything,
  then dontbe afraid to tap me as a resource. I
  dont know what I have to offer you,but any help
  is better than none, even if its just an
  encouraging email. We'll, I guess thats all
  for now. I will keep an eye on your
  ministry,Cheers,R B
• P.S. My wife and I were actually looking to move
  down to Palmerston North afew months ago. But
  getting there with a job waiting for you from
  half the country away isnt exactly easy. I think
  thats one of the reasons Greg saying'Palmerston
  North' really grabbed my attention. )
