The book has been out of print for years. A couple years ago I contacted Jack Coe's son and asked him to reprint it. So far he has not but I just found where I could download a copy in pdf format so I did. I now have that book and have had the chance to reread it.

If this attachment works, I'll include page 16 of the book which I thought was interesting.

If anyone would like a pdf copy of Jack Coe's book on apostles and prophets, I can email you a copy. Just pm me and give me an email address where you can receive pdf attachments.

Confessions of a Surgeon by Paul Ruggieri MD

just finished reading "Notes on the Book of Nehemiah" by Harry Ironside. This book has a copyrght date of 1914 but the copy I have was combined with two of his other books --notes on Esther and notes on Ezra-- and released in 1941. I finished his notes on Ezra a few days ago and guess I'll start reading his book on Esther next.

I'm not sure if this counts as one book or three since it is three of his books previously released separately but now combined into one.

Well, we have a local Community Church thrift store in town and they sell books for like 25 and 50 cents. I have come across some really great books here, that I otherwise might never have paid the 14-20 dollars to take home and read from a bookstore.

Two books I found last week on a trip there that have really blessed me are:

Listen, God is Speaking by Quin Sherrer - a really amazing book that answers some of the most common questions that people have about how to know when God is speaking to you, and how to distinguish God's voice from other voices that speak to you. Excellent book.

Why Me? was the other book I picked up. The author is Jacob Damkani. He is born and raised in Israel and came to the US to follow the American Dream. He details how his life was completely changed when he was introduced to Yeshua Christ. Again, a heartfelt genuine moving story. He speaks of the persecution he suffered at the hands of his own people when he went back to Isreal and tried to show them that Yeshua was not just a Gentile God, but a God found in the Old Testament. He details a likeness to Christ through the story of Joseph, and goes into great detail with the OT concerning Yeshua. For any Jews who do not know Christ, this would be an excellent book for them to read. I highly recommend it for anyone to read.

I spent some time in a Baptist Church before hearing about and receiving the Holy Ghost Baptism and also water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Our Baptist pastor recommended the Scofield Bible. Most of us in the church had one. I couldn't afford one. Years later I got a Scofield Bible and used it for years. Lots of good stuff in there and some stuff I couldn't agree with. Scofield was a cessationist i.e. taught that the gifts ceased with the death of the 12 Apostles and with the completion of the books that would become our New Testament.


By the way, the Scofield notes are available online at

Just finished the auto bio of the guy who started Kinko's. Great story. Don't agree with everything, but he did nearly everything the opposite of most businesses and was successful.
