Dear Dean & Susan Wheelock,
      You may or may not remember me. I met you at the______‘s for a Sabbath last month. Thank you for sending me a number of issues of Hebrew Roots to sample. G-d has blessed me tremendously in the past few weeks through Hebrew Roots. I especially appreciate issue 96-2 - "The Feast of the LORD," "Tisha B’Av," and "Repentance, Judgment, Awe and Reconciliation."
      The depth of meaning and symbolism behind our Heavenly Father’s feast days places me in awe of His ways and His Torah. Thank you for helping me to see this. When I first received two sample issues of Hebrew Roots nearly a year ago I did not believe in keeping G-d’s feast days. After much scripture study and prayer I finally came to a proper understanding of and a conviction for the feast days. This conviction formed just in time for me to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Having this conviction for G-d’s feast days combined with a better understanding of the covenant and the Torah has prepared me to - truly appreciate Hebrew Roots. Please keep me on your mailing list!
                  YHWH’s blessings be
                     on you all,
                  PS

Shalom Aleichem PS,
      We cannot express to you how much your letter means to us. It is letters and calls like yours that keep us going when times get tough and the road seems long.
      G-d has indeed worked a tremendous blessing in your life, by bringing you to an understanding of His Feast days. Be assured that every time you celebrate a festival you will learn more, and will be brought into an even closer relationship with your Creator. We are humbled to think that our publication was a part of the vehicle by which He moved you to embrace the Holydays.
      Remember to stay close to our Father through pray and study, applying those things you learn into your daily life. The Adversary does not like it when someone begins to follow Torah more closely, so you can expect him to put up a fight. Just remember, he has absolutely no power over you, for you have the Holy Spirit of Almighty G-d, and all you need do to thwart the Adversary is call upon that great power.
                  May the peace of G-d
                     be with you always,

                  DEW

My dear friends,
      I believe wholeheartedly in the Work you’re doing, and I want to be a part of it.
      The knowledge and understanding I’m receiving, as a result of your study and research, is helping me to focus on my preparation for the Bridegroom’s return.
      May God continue to bless you and the Work you’re doing.
                  Sincerely,

                  SJ

Shalom Aleichem SJ,
      Thank you for your support of our efforts. You touched on the real key to personal, spiritual growth; it must come through your own study accompanied by heartfelt prayer. We view Hebrew Roots as a vehicle to bring people into some basic understandings about who their Messiah really is. After that, it is up to each individual to pursue truth and follow it wherever it leads. We are pleased that you are already going down that path.
                  May the peace of God
                     be with you always,

                  DEW

Dean & Susan,
      Thank you for Hebrew Roots. I so look forward to it. I have requested several people be put on your mailing list but one of those people has indicated that they do not approve of publications or tapes from others. He said all he needed was the Bible. Since he says he puts them in the garbage, I would like for you to remove his name from your mailing list. No use wasting them or your postage. His name is _________
      I do know that others are enjoying the magazine. Keep up the good work! I believe God is blessing both of you because you are doing this with love and we in turn are being blessed when we read it.
                  Sincerely,

                  JB

Shalom Aleichem JB,
      Thank you for sending us names of people who are interested in receiving Hebrew Roots.
As to the person who throws all literature in the garbage, 1 wonder if he has ever considered the following scripture about the Ethiopian eunuch;"
      "So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’
      "And he said, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’"
(Acts 8:30-31)
      Certainly the Bible must be the final word of authority. However, there are keys which help to open up our understanding of the Scriptures. One of those keys is to understand the Hebrew roots of our faith. There are lots people in the world who claim to follow the Bible and only the Bible. Yet, many of them totally disagree with each other over what the Bible teaches.
      We hope your friend will decide to take a second look at some of the available material which can be an aid in further opening up the profound truths contained in the Scriptures.
                  May the peace of God
                     be with you always,
                  DEW
