I know it a couple days late but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope your holiday was spent with loved ones in times bathed in laughter, stories and good food. I celebrated Thanksgiving with my extended family at our ranch house in the Texas Hill Country and thought I’d include a pic of my wife and me just a stone’s throw from our porch.

Yancey,
I have appreciated reading your boook: “Tap, defeating the sins that defeat you”. It has been a great help in my walk of repentance. I just wanted to leave a note about chapter 6 ” Contender repentance” on page 83, you have quoted Christ from Matt. 3:8. Actually, John the baptist was speaking to the pharisees. You also refer to Christ speaking in the questionaire at the end of the chapter. I just thought I would mention it before it was printed a second time. For me the teaching you derived from this portion of scripture(Matt. 3:8) is not out of context, it very much fits the example of contender repentance. Again I mention that I appreciate the work the Lord is doing through you in “Tap”.
In Christ,
Byron Smith
Byron, great catch! Thanks for letting me know. While I’m bummed to have made that mistake, you’ve ensured it will get corrected on the next edition. Thanks again!
