Please do not force us to use PayPal. Many of us have had bad experiences with them. Please take American Express cards. The new ones charge the vendor less. That is the eason I cannot order Joyofliving anymore. I used to order them all the time. I had to talk to Kathy Rowland to pay by check because I would not use PayPal. I will never use them again.
We are studying the Gospel of Mark Park 1, and it was brought up in our class the question on Page 40, 2nd column, 3rd paragraph down where it says “Do you struggle with a broken family relation-ship or friendship?” …..then “Your healing begins with your rela-tionship to God.” Why are there hyphens in the word relationship in these two sentences and in different spots?
I am so sorry. It was a typing error that the editors didn’t catch. We will fix it. Thank you for letting us know.
