“I have no greater joy
than to hear
that my children
walk in truth.”
III John 4
Come Grow With Us!

Attention Amish & Mennonite:
We are hearing from many “plain
people” whose testimonies are nearly
identical. They have recently discovered
justification by faith without the deeds
of the law and now know their sins are
forgiven. Of those who come to visit most
have been kicked out of their churches—some have been banned. These
“reformation” saints do not want to become part of the worldly church
and are looking for reinstatement into a Christian community with likeminded
believers of similar backgrounds. I would like to help by bringing
all of you together for two or three days to share the Word of God and
seek solutions among yourselves for establishing fellowships in your
area. I will not start a church or take the oversight thereof. Rather, with
our large mailing base of “plain” people we are in a position to provide
the initial rallying point. If you are interested, I need two things from
you. Send your name and contact information so we can inform you of
any developments, and if you live in Illinois or Ohio and can provide a
place for such a gathering, please contact me. I am thinking about late
summer or early fall.

Spank and
Save a Child
By Michael Pearl
You may have noticed No Greater Joy and
Michael Pearl receiving a lot of negative press
lately over advocating corporal discipline as part of
a comprehensive child training program. Television
reporters came out to the office. We were in
newspapers from coast to coast. Even CBS, after
running an uninformed criticism of us, offered
to fly us to New York to answer their unfounded
charges on The Morning Show. I was eager to
answer, and readily agreed. Those of you on our
email list were immediately informed and many of
you prayed for the will of God to be done. CBS
called for a pre-interview and then canceled the
afternoon before the show. I think they discovered
in the pre-interview that I was not the Bible thumping
caricature they had hoped. One news outlet reviewed our
web site and gave a very positive review, saying there was nothing in our
material that would ever lead to child abuse. On the bright side, our sales
skyrocketed this month. Even before this recent publicity, one out of every
75 Americans have been introduced to our ministry.
It’s a battle I would not have fought so boldly twenty years ago
when we still had small children at home. The potential for institutional
retribution is too great—almost a certainty. But I am now too old to be
intimidated, and the battle is much bigger than the spanking flap. They’re
not just coming after me, but all parents who believe parenting is a Godgiven
responsibility.
The anti-spanking campaign is a front for an anti-family agenda, a
progressive socialist movement to reengineer society with government
the only mentor of children. A few well placed individuals in government,
media, and the educational system religiously promote a new world order
where the collective state replaces God and the Constitution. They must
control the minds of the citizenry if they are to institute their totalitarian
policies; and they are well aware from history that mind control must begin
with the youth—thus the public school system. But homeschool parents
and Christian parents protect their children from corrupt worldviews.
The socialists know that the last remaining bulwark against brainwashing
children is parental headship—thus their
hostility toward the family. As long as
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936 3

parents are free to pass on their culture and faith, totalitarian government is
impossible.
Their earlier promotion of organic evolution was an effective wedge
against Biblical faith and the dignity of man, but it has taken them as far as it
can, for it is losing credibility in the face of genetic discoveries and contrary
evidence. The leading edge of the attack upon parental authority is now the
anti-spanking movement. They will use any means to police the home and
mandate parental conduct, but they know that to receive public support their
home incursion must be seen as a necessary act of compassion. They paint
themselves as concerned now for the children they would have aborted a few
years earlier.
Public schools are the propaganda wing of the socialist agenda. They
rewrite history books and social studies, purging the texts of the part
fundamental Christianity played in forming our constitutional republic. They
are teaching America’s children to be ashamed of our past, to despise free
enterprise and individualism, knowing that when the kids grow up they will
be willing to adopt the more “moral” socialists’ agenda that puts the powers of
God into the hands of the state.
But along came homeschooling, growing larger every year, and with it
a general awakening to the fact that the subtle changes occurring around us
are not just encroaching liberalism, not just ideological evolution, but an
orchestrated purge of truth and human dignity with totalitarianism as its end.
In the progressive vision individuals are of no importance
beyond their contribution to the perpetuation
and health of the State. One judge presiding
over a custody case said, “The children of
homeschool families will not fit into the new
world order.” He was dead right. The first
countries to ban spanking were the most
ardent communists and fascists. Leading
the way were China, Russia, and North
Korea, followed by some of the socialist
countries of Europe.
My critics don’t bother to read
our material. They get their quotes—
supposedly my statements—from web
sites that got their quotes from other
web sites that along the way sliced and
diced my writings, changing words
like “spank” to “beat” to create a
caricature that any clear thinking
person would find offensive.
They build a straw man and then
expect us to defend it. I am not
whining. It goes with the territory.
But why all the lies and hostility?
4 www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936

Why all the Lies?
There are many ordinary people in our country
that do not identify themselves with the progressive/
socialist faction, yet unknowingly are spokesmen for
some of its important tenets. You see them duped into
supporting the global warming crowd, the radical
environmentalists, animal rights activists, the
gay agenda, and any number of “social justice”
movements. They may join the crusade against
spanking, “hate speech”, cult indoctrination or
any number of social issues that are none
of their business.
How do otherwise ordinary
people get caught up supporting
some part of a movement to
reengineer society? They
have big compassionate
hearts, and the social engineers have painted each of these issues as a moral
struggle. Who doesn’t want social justice (in the classical sense,) and to “save
the planet,” and save the children from cruelty? Many people need a crusade,
and the media, especially television, offer them causes that make them feel
they are part of the solution.
The Fringe
The uninformed who listens to the media would think that spanking is
something done by the fringe, an angry and abusive minority. The media uses
inflammatory rhetoric like “beat” instead of “spank” or “corporal punishment”
instead of “physical discipline,” obscuring a line that is extremely clear to
responsible parents.
I read an anti-spanking article by a psychologist that said she did not
believe in spanking, but she went on to confess that on occasion she got so
angry with her children that she did scream at them. She told of receiving a ten
minute lecture in a grocery store from another shopper rebuking her for angry,
abusive language toward her children. She also confessed that on occasion
her anger had caused her to slap her children in the face. She was ashamed of
her behavior and was making a candid confession, but she went on to use her
experience as an example of why parents should not adopt a policy of “hitting
their children.” The occasional slips were bad enough; don’t institutionalize the
practice, she said.
My advice to this professionally trained mother is, “Don’t hit your
children; don’t even think about spanking; you need to receive counsel from
a hillbilly mother with a sixth grade education before you have any more
children; you are out of control.” But her confession points to the reason a
small minority associate all spanking with hitting and violence, and why
they are categorically against it to the point of pushing for laws criminalizing
parents who spank their kids. Indeed, knowing their own weakness and anger,
they transfer that violent nature to all parents. When you add to the equation
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936 5

the movie and media characterization of stern, legalistic parents “beating the
fear of God” into their kids, they have reason to stand against all spanking. The
opponents of corporal discipline have never experienced the kind of peace and
stability that allows a parent to spank in love for the good of the child. They
know that when they strike their children, it is definitely abusive, and they
project that motive to everyone.
They see government as the savior of all children, standing between cruel
parents and their helpless children. They would have us believe that untrained
parents are incapable of knowing what is best for their children, while a
few hours of liberal arts training and personal therapy transforms on-duty
government employees into wise and loving mentors.
Hitting Children
No one advocates “hitting children,” but our angry opponents can’t seem
to read. We say “switch;” they quote us saying “tree branch.” We say “spank;”
they quote us as saying “beat.” They deliberately do not distinguish between the
loving, compassionate, measured spankings we advocate and the out of control
violence of parents reacting in anger and aggression toward helpless children.
Parents who strike out in anger are most often anti-spanking proponents
who reach the end of their tolerance curve. Not having spanking as part of their
toolkit, they end up frustrated with their rebellious children and eventually
explode in retribution. In contrast, parents who wisely employ spanking with
their training soon have such happy and compliant kids that no one is ever
provoked to anger.
History will show that parents have not abandoned physical discipline
because it proved to be ineffective, but because many parents have become
ashamed of the way they apply it. That is why No Greater Joy teaches
parents to patiently “train up a child in the way he should go.”
Opponents
Dr. Aletha Solter, founder of the Aware Parenting Institute,
argues that corporal punishment teaches violence to children
otherwise born innocent: “What happens in each home is at
the root of world peace. If we’re going to be hitting children,
they’re going to go around wanting to hit and hurt other
people. If we raise them with gentle discipline, then
we’re creating a gentle world.” Well, ten percent
of the children never get hit. Are they examples
of world peace and emotional stability?
Opponents make the false assertion
that children who are “hit” by their parents
grow up to be violent, citing studies
that support their claim. But if you
look at the details of their studies, you
will note that they gather their data
from interviews with violent criminals or
psychiatric patients. “You murdered six women; were you spanked when you
were a child?” Since 90% of all U.S. parents spank or “hit” their kids, what do
you think the results are going to show? That’s right; nine out of ten violent
6 www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936

criminals were spanked when they were children. I have
never seen a study that asked a group of well adjusted
professionals if they were physically disciplined
as children and what part they thought
it played in their success. What would
our critics conclude by the fact that 90%
of the successful, nonviolent professionals were
spanked by their parents?
Research Supports Spanking
Many pediatricians believe that responsible
spanking outperforms faddish disciplinary approaches.
Marjorie Gunnoe, a developmental psychologist at Calvin
College, did a study of 2,600 people, about a quarter of
whom had never been physically chastised. She concluded
that young children spanked by their parents may grow up to be happier and
more successful than those who have never been spanked. According to the
research, children spanked up to the age of 6 were likely as teenagers to perform
better at school and were more likely to carry out volunteer work and to want to
go to college than their peers who had never been physically disciplined.
Child psychologists Diana Baumrind and Elizabeth Owens conducted a
study. Owens is a research scientist at the Institute of Human Development at
the University of California at Berkeley. As a mother of a three- and a fiveyear-old,
Owens says, “As a parent I am morally opposed to spanking.” But as
a scientist, she says, “A blanket injunction against spanking is not warranted
by the data. If you look at the causally relevant evidence, it’s not scientifically
defensible to say that spanking is always a horrible thing. I don’t think mild,
occasional spankings in an otherwise supportive, loving family will do any longterm
harm.”
Media Campaign
The media campaign against spanking is designed to win the perception
war. If they can make parents think that they are out of the mainstream, part of
an unpopular minority, they will come to doubt their natural parental instincts
and shrink from their responsibilities to continue the tradition of nurturing the
young through tested means, of which spanking is a part. The progressives will
then be free, without dissent, to pass unconstitutional legislation making any
form of physical discipline a crime punishable by imprisonment and loss of their
children to the state.
Common Law Right
A Minnesota trial court has ruled that “laws against school paddling do not
supersede the common-law right to spank a child.”
The Supreme Court in Ingraham v. Wright, 1977, held that school corporal
punishment of students does not violate the federal Constitution—does not amount
to cruel and unusual punishment.
The constitution of the United States recognizes the existence of common
law rights and offers protection in the exercise thereof. These rights are said to be
unalienable. That is, these rights, springing from God, being part of our nature,
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936 7

are inherent in our humanity and cannot be transferred to government, nor can
government assume those powers that belong to the individual alone. It is no
wonder that we should find it addressed in Holy Scripture, for before it was a
Biblical precept it is found to be a natural right embedded in our human natures.
A natural right is a moral duty. To breach a natural right against one’s
neighbor is an act of violence and thuggery. For a government to breach that
right in promotion of its own ends is tyranny. It is the duty of every man to
promote the human rights of all men.
Society was more stable and more moral before government intruded into
our common law rights. When I was in school in the fifties violence against
teachers was unheard of. Kids always obeyed the teachers or were
paddled with the oak “board of education.” I cannot
remember a moment when things got out of control in
school. There were no drugs, no alcohol, no cursing, and
no talking back to teachers.
Still legal
Note that 22 states still practice “corporal
punishment” in public schools. The anti-spanking
campaign Center for Effective Discipline,
extrapolating from sample statistics collected by
federal authorities, estimates that the number of
students spanked or paddled in 2006 in U.S. public
schools was about 223,000.
Contrary to the perception
produced by the media, you do have
a right to spank your children in all 50
states. In Tennessee, Child Protection
Services says it is not abuse unless marks
remain on the child 24 hours after the fact.
You can read the laws for your state online.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines
physical child abuse as “any non-accidental physical injury to the child, and can
include striking, kicking, burning, or biting the child, or any action that results
in a physical impairment of the child.” In my opinion, that is an acceptable
legal definition of child abuse that does not infringe upon parental rights, but
my personal definition of abuse would be broader, including mental, verbal, and
physical abuse where the spanking is not severe but is not done in the proper
spirit of love and good will. Yet I recognize that not all abuse rises to the level of
requiring government intervention. When children are in genuine danger, under
proper guidelines the government should step in and remedy the situation.
Mainstream
Opponents like to characterize those of us who advocate corporal
chastisement as a minority, as fringe, less intelligent, behind the times, religious
nuts. The opposite is true. Down through the ages in every culture, wise and
compassionate men have promoted and practiced corporal training of their
8 www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936

young. The practice is mainstream, traditional, grassroots, natural, and
effective.
Corporal discipline is a natural part of parental nurturing, of caring
parents seeking the best for their children. Hence, it is not surprising to find it
promoted by God himself, the creator of all children (Proverbs 13:24; 19:18;
22:15; 29:15, 17).
But God also recognizes that parents can abuse their authority. Jesus
warned, “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me,
it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that
he were drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6). He continued by
advising the offender of little children, “if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut
them off, and cast them from thee.”
Many polls have shown that 65 to 75 percent of all parents endorse the
use of physical discipline. Even the progressive ABC News conducted a poll
that concluded that 65 percent of parents approve of physical discipline while
31 percent disapprove. Additional studies reveal that of those who say they
disapprove, two thirds of them confess to hitting their children in anger. Only
about ten percent of parents profess to not believe in physical discipline and
to not have practiced it. So who is in the mainstream? The traditional parents
who believe in and practice corporal discipline are the vast majority and
have the support of tradition and history. We likewise have the support of the
Constitution and the findings of the courts. We also have the blessings of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the public schools who
still practice it. Most of all, we have the support of God. The anti-spankers
are the small minority who don’t trust their ability to act in a restrained and
productive manner and do not believe you can either. Our children rise up and
call us blessed; I will let their children tell us what they think of their parents.
The Exception Proves the Rule
Our opponents sit in front of their TV sets or computer screens waiting for
months or years until some out of control parent beats his child to death in the
name of corporal punishment. They then call for a ban on all spanking. They
reason that if one parent can misuse the human right to physically train their
children then all parents should
be denied the traditional right.
It is our contention that all
authority is abused at some
time or another by a minority,
but that does not negate the need
for that authority.
Every day several people
overdose on prescription
drugs and die. Many children
die from just aspirin alone. The
label warns against abusing the
drug, but some people are not
motivated by reason, and they
or their children die. Should all
www.nogreaterjoy.org | 1-866-292-9936 9

aspirin be banned because it is
sometimes misused? Obviously not.
Out of the five million
people who are familiar with
our teaching, our opponents
may have finally found one
family that severely abused their
children. The anti-spanking
lobbyists come alive like fire
ants in a disturbed anthill. “It’s
your teaching that led to this
tragedy,” they scream. A tragedy
is always tragic and sad, but
why must someone else be to
blame? Are men not independently
capable of error or evil? If a man leaves
an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and
gets drunk, do you blame the twelve step
program? If a man under psychiatric care
commits a heinous crime, do we charge
the psychiatrist? If a teen kills himself in
an auto accident after taking drivers ed at
school, do we stop the program? When an angry,
abusive parent recognizes his need to reform and seeks help though our material,
but lapses back into his predisposed habits, injuring his children yet again, is our
material that teaches caution and moderation to blame? The bias and underlying
agenda of the anti-spanking minority is obvious.
Marching On
We will not be deterred from our sensible course by social engineers who
want to replace parents with a failed philosophy. We will go on doing what our
parents and grandparents and great-grandparents have done for many generations:
we will train our children with all the means we deem best to bring them up to
be responsible, emotionally stable,
productive individuals. Get used to it.
We are here to stay.
By the way, our happy children are
multiplying at four times the national
average. Your unruly and undisciplined
children will soon need a job. Don’t
worry; our properly spanked, highly
motivated, well educated kids will be
hiring.

Y’all Come
We are going to do something
we have never done before.
It may be too much for us, but we are going to
give it a try. We invite you to come to visit us on
Sundays here in Pleasantville, Tennessee. Until
cold weather comes in the fall, drop by on a Sunday
morning and visit The Church at Cane Creek.
We will invite
you for dinner.
Do you like boiled okra and purple hull peas with sliced
tomatoes and corn on the cob? What if we throw in a little
turkey and venison? We will give you a tour of the office
and jaw away the afternoon while the kids play in the cold
waters of Cane Creek. On second thought, I might just spend
my time with the kids in the creek if the weather is hot.
Send us an email and let us know if you are coming so we can
kill another chicken and throw it in the pot. Don’t show up on Wednesday
and expect us to stop working. Come on Sunday. There is a beautiful old
hotel in Linden with very reasonable prices, just 12 minutes from us.

I made an
“Herb
Girl”
out of me
By Shoshanna Easling
When I first started
learning about herbs
and their properties I was
captivated by the possibilities.
I knew that if half of everything
I was reading was true, a lot
of people were missing out
on the healing power of God’s
plants. First I needed to test them for
myself. I had to know if they really worked
as well as the books claimed. So with the
little herb research I had done I made a dark
green herb salve and gave a quart of it to some
missionaries who were heading to the mountains
of Papua New Guinea with their five kids.
In a few months they wrote asking for more.
They were living deep in the jungle among a tribe
of people while learning to speak the language. It
was a three day hike to a dirt air strip where a little
plane could transport them to a town—when a plane
was available. A long way from medical help, they
discovered that my green salve was very effective
in treating a variety of ailments, from boils to rashes
to ringworms and more. I was blown away. I did the
research, but reading about the field (jungle) tested
results was a whole new perspective. I was hooked,
went back to the books—many books—and I have
been Herb Girl ever since.

MAKING MASSAGE OIL OR SALVE
1. Making a salve might sound difficult, but it isn’t. The thing that takes
the longest is infusing your herbs with oil. The best way to do this is in a
crock pot on very low heat.
2. Stuff a mason jar two-thirds full with herbs.
3. Fill jar with oil of your choice (coconut oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil,
etc.), leaving at least one inch from the top of jar. Screw a lid on tight.
4. Put a wash cloth in the bottom of the crock pot. Put jar in the center of the
pot (on the cloth). Fill the crock pot with water, one inch below top of jar.
5. Keep crock pot on low heat (oil needs to be very hot but not boiling)
for 3 days. Water will evaporate out of the pot, so keep adding water as
needed.
6. As the herbs’ properties release in the oil, the oil will take on more color
and smell like herb oil. With a cheese cloth (a cotton sheet or t-shirt will
work too) strain herb solids out of oil. Now you have an herbally infused
oil. It is great for massage oil!
7. To make the oil into a salve you need beeswax. You need approximately
2 oz of grated beeswax for 8 to 9 oz of infused oil.
9. On low heat, warm oil and beeswax until wax is all melted.
10. Add a drop of vitamin E oil for every ounce of oil. This is a natural preservative.
11. While salve is still hot, pour into your
container (widemouth jar, can, etc.).
12. Let sit overnight or until salve is hard.
13. Screw a lid on tight and label with
name and date. Voila!! You have a
salve!
Tips:
~ If it is too soft for you, reheat it and add
a bit more beeswax. If it is too hard, reheat it and add a touch more oil.
~ Salve is a thick oil that is used for cuts, bites, burns, rashes, boils, massage,
and more. Salves can keep up to five years or more.
~ Keep out of light and extreme heat.
If I get a poisonous bite from a bug, bee, or spider, if there are fresh
plantain leaves around, I grab a few leaves, chew them up and spit them
on the bite. There is nothing faster or that works better to pull poison out.
If you have activated charcoal around, you can mix that in the plantain
chew and give it another boost in pulling out poison. After these
fresh poultices, I continue to use salve until there is no sign of a bite.

SORRY
It has just gotten too big for us. We can’t keep up with the demand. We would love
to send a copy of Good and Evil to all three million people incarcerated in US prisons, but
that would cost about $25 million if we had volunteer labor. Nine out of every ten letters we
receive are from prisoners requesting a copy of our Bible story book. They have seen a copy
and want one of their own. I go into the prisons and preach and teach, and I love every minute
of it. I cannot go as often as I would like, operating on half of a heart—about twice each week
is my limit. I get lightheaded, but nevertheless I will keep going until they carry my body out
through the double razor wire gates. It is the difference between preparing a meal for folks in
the church and feeding starving orphans.
Not every inmate is hungry for the word. Not at all. Most are indifferent. Some are hostile.
Some follow a divergent philosophy or Satanic religion. But there is that elect minority
whom God foreknew and predestinated to be conformed to the image of his blessed Son,
who are like empty cisterns waiting to be filled with the knowledge of God. They rejoice in
Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh.
Last week, about eighty guys sat for nearly two hours while I taught Romans 8. “It
don’t get no better than that,” one might say. The next day, right after speaking in church,
I went back to the prison and spoke through an interpreter to a good crowd of Spanish
speaking men.
I know of many who have been released who are now preaching the Word of God full
time, and some are laboring on the mission field under severe conditions.
No Greater Joy cannot keep up with the demand. Our sales are up. The ministry grows
larger all the time. One of every 75 people in America is now acquainted with our ministry. I
am not appealing for more money. You have been generous in your gifts and it has enabled us
to expand into many languages and reach millions beyond our borders. I am just telling you
that there is a need we cannot meet and I am offering you the opportunity to organize your
own ministry. We will continue to send boxes to chaplains that request them, as funds are
available, but we cannot respond to all of the individual requests. Churches that are willing
to believe God for the resources could take up this ministry. We will grant you permission to
print Good and Evil for free distribution in the prisons, or if you want to operate on a smaller
scale we can make them available to you at our cost of printing, shipping, and handling.
We will get you started by sending you 1,000 prisoner requests. In six months
you will be receiving more than you can handle. But you will hear testimonies
of souls saved and lives altered forever. If you open up correspondence with
some of these guys, when they are released they will come to your church
and thank you publicly, sharing their testimony of salvation. You might end up
with one of these ex-cons as your assistant pastor—as is the case in our church.
Wouldn’t that be a doozy?
Don’t believe everything you see on TV about prisons. People who go in with me are
shocked at the normalcy of the guys. They are not all perverts and violent thugs, and the ones
that are can be redeemed and sanctified. Contact us if you want to institute a ministry to the
prisons. We will help you get started. We will even send an ex-con to speak to your church.

Obeying God’s Command
By Debi Pearl
We have received thousands of testimonies of salvation from all over the world in
regard to Good and Evil—now in over 25 languages. It is effective for two reasons.
First, it’s readily received and read without the prejudice that Christian literature
sometimes generates. It goes where Bibles and even missionaries are not allowed, and
it goes in the native language of the people.
Secondly, it teaches as God chose to teach: through stories of God’s working among
men. This chronologically told Bible story book is not a Bible, but it is a Bible story telling
missionary that will never grow weary and leave the field, will not be distracted with
sick kids, will not pause to eat, will never get malaria or dengue fever, does not have
to pay rent, can live in a village undetected, can go to a country closed to the gospel, is
willing to work day and night, and gives a clear and accurate message again and again
for years to come. If a hostile government destroys the book, it can be replaced for about
three dollars. It will never say, I can’t go, Lord, I don’t know the language, it would cost
too much, my family could not hold up, I don’t have a gift for speaking. Good and Evil
is always willing and waiting to go, and it is very capable. It is the perfect missionary.

This June a missionary named Steve
Schnell (and family) will be coming
home for a long break after many years
of service in Cambodia. He would desperately
love to leave another 10,000
“published missionaries” behind, but
he needs the funds to print these books.

A Willing Heart
Matthew 10:42: “And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones
a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall
in no wise lose his reward.”
Rick Batson is another missionary sent out by The Church at Cane Creek and supported
by No Greater Joy Ministries. Americans are welcomed and well received in
the Philippines, so Rick has endless opportunities to present the gospel to large groups
of up to 8,000 at a time. He has had amazing success in the public schools, utilizing
gospel films and literature very effectively. Starting this June he will be going into 62
high schools in the Philippines. He takes along Filipino pastors to assist him and to
preach in the local dialects. Many of the high schools have thousands of students; a
good percentage of those students are Muslim. It is Rick’s hope and prayer to be able
to give interested students a DVD containing four other gospel films. He is praying
that he will have the money to give 200 DVDs away at each school. The DVDs would
cost him 38 cents each if he hand makes them one at a time. He would also love to
have at least 50 Good and Evil books at each school. Rick says that because there is
so little Christian literature in the Cebuano language, every DVD he gives out gets
watched by many, and the Good and Evil books always get passed around and read by
scores. Would you like to give a cup of water in this missionary’s name?

Joshua
Mark 16:15: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.”
There is another missionary we have followed since he was 13 years old. When he
first contacted us we gave him the answer found on page 21 called Witnessing. Joshua
stayed focused. He studied, learned to play the guitar, did street preaching, witnessed,
took mission trips, and by the age of 22 he was a full time missionary learning to speak
the Ukrainian language. This summer he is again providing opportunity for young men
who are at least 18 years old (and younger men are welcome with their fathers) to
come for a few weeks or the whole summer to be a part of an outreach to the Ukrainian
people. It is a chance to see missions firsthand, to worship God with new believers, and
to see God do miracles. If you go you will never be the same. Dad, this is your moment
to step up and make the sacrifice for your son, to take him on a mission trip that will so

grow him in God’s wisdom that only eternity will reveal the fullness. Young man, this
is your opportunity to set your course on the eternal. If you lack the funds, pray and
ask God to provide. Tell your grandparents of your desire to be a part of this mission;
tell your pastor; tell your homeschool friends; maybe they will have a car wash to
raise your support. But if you think this is what God would have you do, then march
forward and join Joshua as he goes to claim the land!

Standing in the Gap
Ezekiel 22:30: “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the
hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land…”
Will you and your children pray for us here at No Greater Joy and for our coworkers
in Thailand who are endeavoring to get the gospel into as many languages
as possible? We need to know you are praying. The Devil stays busy trying to derail
us, by any means he can to slow us down. As you pray for us keep in mind the story
of Daniel as he prayed asking God for an answer which took 21 days to come, due
to a battle in the atmosphere above the earth between the righteous and the fallen angels
(Daniel 10). Why should Daniel have to ask for deliverance? God knew what he
needed. Why should Daniel have to wait on an angel who is in a battle with a legion
of devils? God could have stepped in. But God chose to dish out his blessing and deliverance
only in response to our prayers. He also chooses to send his answers through
the medium of angels, who are subject to the resistance of evil angels. You and I must
pray. Angels are sent to minister for us. As we pray, they succeed. Our prayers are
answered in accordance with our prayers and faith. Fantastic! You are the supply line.
We need you to be faithful to pray for us. Teach your children to pray for us. Listen to

Here are a few pictures of the Good and Evil books getting delivered to Stevens Village,
Alaska on February 28, 2010. Stevens Village is not on a road system. Pastor Josh
R. and Karl S. (from the Independent Baptist Church of Anchorage) drove from Anchorage
to Fairbanks, (358 miles) then north on the Dalton Highway 110 miles to the Yukon

Witnessing
I am a homeschooled teenager involved in several
of the local public high school’s programs – track, math,
etc. I have a tremendous opportunity to witness to my unbelieving peers. Last
year, I tried many times to witness to my teammates, but their hearts are so hard.
They became angry, or didn’t listen, or took it all at a purely intellectual level. I
can’t blame them, though. Oftentimes, I find that my own fear, pride, and stubbornness
prevent me from speaking to them when I should. I pray for them often,
but nothing I say to them nor how I try to stand apart from the spirit of the world
seems to affect them. I am thinking that me being a “weird homeschooler” (at
least in their eyes) is tainting their view of me.
How can I effectively witness to my non-Christian peers, especially when they
have such alien worldviews and anti-Christian attitudes?
Ye must be born again
Michael answers:
There are two ways to witness. The first is the most direct and is similar to what a
street evangelist would do. You get right to the point, challenging them to repent toward
God and believe the gospel. You expect most of them to reject your message but you keep
fishing, knowing that out of the hundreds there may be one who will be prepared by the
Holy Spirit to believe your message. This is not normally the approach you take with coworkers,
fellow students, next door neighbors, or family members. If you have the time,
the most effective method of reaching someone for Christ is to:
1. Treat everyone you meet as if they are Christian brothers and sisters who are dear to
you. In short, love them as they have never been loved.
2. Be continually joyful. Everyone is attracted to joy and no one will fault you for it.
They will want what you have.
3. Be successful. Be the best at whatever you do. Everyone admires success and sincere
effort. They will respect you for it.
4. Be helpful. Infuse something good into the lives of everyone you meet. Make them
feel better about themselves in a clean and pure way.
5. Be generous. When others see you giving, they will recognize God in it.
6. Be gracious and cheerful in your righteousness. Don’t be prudish and standoffish in
your convictions. When you decline to participate in sin, don’t do so in a way that
says “I am better that you, and you are a dog.”
7. Be open. People are scared of the unknown. Let people get to know you and see that
you don’t bite and you don’t have any secrets.
8. Don’t do religious things to be seen of men. Let your righteousness be purity of heart
and intention.
9. Speak of God and Jesus occasionally when it is spontaneously true. For instance,
you might say, “Isn’t it a beautiful day God has made?” or “God has blessed me with
good health.” On occasion you might say something like, “If it were not for Jesus
Christ, I would be on my way to hell.”
10. Follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in knowing who is ready to receive the message.
In time someone will open up to you and ask a question like, “Why are you always
happy?” or “Why don’t you XXXX?” Answer then honestly, telling them of your
commitment to Christ and of your conversion. When the moment seems right tell
them the gospel story in detail. Win just one person and it is all worth it.
Don’t think in terms of impacting the entire school. Just one needy soul is enough.
And when you have one convert, it becomes much easier to impress others with Christ.

How do I delight
in children that only
cause me pain
and grief?
The

Best
Medicine
By Michael Pearl
The best child training medicine I know
is a heart that overflows with a consuming
desire to give children pleasure. Our training
can’t stop there, but neither can it begin
anywhere else. It must be part of the image of
God within us―that desire to bring pleasure to
children, to make their lives fascinating and full of
joy. They are so easy to delight. I feel like a grandfather
to all children everywhere . . .well, except maybe some of
the brats I see in grocery stores. But if I had them for three
days, they would cease to be brats. It would probably take
me two days to begin to like them, but I can endure anything
when I know there is relief around the corner.
You can smile children into peace and grace. Here is the key—the way it actually
works. When you become a source of pleasure to a child and they feel that they are
your source of pleasure as well, they become dependent upon that relationship for
their continued pleasure. They don’t want to do anything to break fellowship with you.
They will seek to be all you want them to be. You have their heart; you have their will.
They are way too smart to fall for a fake. If they do not know that you are delighted
with them, they will keep you at arms’ length and may even try to antagonize
you. If children ever sense that you don’t like them, they will develop an adversarial
posture toward you. No amount of spanking or rebuke will win their hearts. You might
spank them into obeying any given command, but they will never seek to please you
from the heart.
On the other hand, kids who know they are treasured will give you their all to be
worthy of your high opinion of them.
Now, some of you are saying, “I agree with you fully, but how do I delight in
children that only cause me pain and grief?” You may have spun your tires in the same
hole until you buried your whole family it. You need to taste a little of the joyous possibilities.
You need a small victory to give you hope. Single out just one of your kids,
and begin bestowing special attention on him. Leave the others with grandma and take
the one child with you for a day out. The both of you need to get out of the rut and
meet on friendly ground. Go to the zoo, a playground, out to eat his favorite junk food,
wherever, just as long as he is having fun and sees you enjoying him having fun. Smile
into his soul until you see something that makes you smile without effort. Talk with
him. Let him know that he is special to you. When you have tasted the goodness that is
in that one child, you will have hope to endure the trials you must go through to bring
the whole family into your circle of love and approval.
Go back and read No Greater Joy Volumes One, Two, and Three. Re-read To
Train Up A Child. Watch the video The Joy of Training. Spend some time worshiping
God and giving thanks. When God has your heart and you know you are loved and forgiven,
you will be able with joy to pass that love and forgiveness on to your children.
You can do this!

Post Nazi Germany
NGJ, Thank you for the KJV Bibles. They
have been distributed to the troops. I appreciate
it very much. I wrote the article
below concerning home schooling in
Germany. If possible I would like Bro.
Mike Pearl’s opinion and advice on the
subject. I also copied the article in the
press referencing my objection.
An open letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel/President Horst Kohler
and the German people: 3-March-10
I was disturbed recently to learn that homeschoolers in Germany had to
seek refuge in the United States because of following their conscience educating
their children as they see fit was “against the law” in Germany. The government
has no place dictating how a child should learn; that is the parent’s responsibility.
Hearing this report I ask myself… is it the 1930s in Germany all over
again? I am currently deployed to Iraq in defense of freedom for all people. In
a few days (March 7) the Iraqis will hold an election to determine if they are really
interested in sharing power and living under a democracy. Why is Germany
denying parents right to educate their children as they see fit?
I am a US Army Chaplain and American soldier and know that the United
States liberated Germany twice in the last century because of oppressive rulers/
dictators and over-reach of government into citizens private affairs. Has Germany
not learned from its oppressive past? Police are coming to German citizens’
homes in 2010 arresting parents for simply educating their children. Possibly
the parents do not endorse the current culture of the public schools. Some
parents may not want their children receiving information relating to sexually
graphic material and information contrary to their religious beliefs. In Afghanistan
in 2005 I served alongside German troops and appreciated their service and
dedication to duty. We are fighting for the rights for people to exercise freedom
of speech, democracy, freedom of religion as these basic rights are denied in Afghanistan
by the very government we are supporting. I ask the German people
to “wake up” and not stand for this oppression.
This is no time to be passive. Truth is, many of the homeschooled children
outshine the public school educated children. My wife is the president of a
homeschoolers group in Forsyth County, NC. By my observation the children
in this group are very well rounded and excel in college and society without
government management. I do not believe that everyone needs to follow the
same curriculum and learn in the same way. In the German system, for example,
children are not encouraged to learn their alphabet until they are 5 years old.
Has this been scientifically calculated? A homeschooled child learns at a pace
decided by the people who know him best, Mom and Dad. America is still the
last bastion of hope for the world. We continue to welcome your tired, your
poor, and your homeschooled. – Chaplain Kevin Winemiller, Iraq
Michael’s response:
In this post Nazi era, apparently Germany still leans heavily toward a totalitarian
society. We at NGJ have been in correspondence with German homeschool families.

Movie Messaging | by Manny Edwards
MOVIE UPDATE
Why Christians must master film craft!
By and large, the church has lost its biblical worldview without even knowing it. If
you were the devil and you wanted to create a generation gap in the church, how would
you do it? Almost every institutional church in this country fractures worshipers by
age and demographic just like the secular academic institutions do. You have “college
groups,” “teen groups,” “young married’s class,” “recently divorced groups,” “empty
nesters groups.” We use religious language and call the assembly a congregation, but
we don’t actually carry out a biblical process of congregation; we use a secular process
called segregation. We say one thing, but do the opposite. Is it any wonder there’s a
disconnect between the Christian lifestyle taught in the Bible and the life actually lived
out in the church?
In his letter to Titus, Paul lays out a blueprint for the structure of the church. Among
other things, he tells Titus that the elder should teach the younger, but now they have
no opportunity to do so. The older folks are in their empty nesters class keeping their
wisdom and experience to themselves, the young couples are in their young married
class pooling their ignorance, and the children are in their own classes coloring pictures
of Noah’s ark. Responsibilities that God gives to parents are now sloughed off to
Sunday School teachers. Real social security is a large extended family clan, but now
even Christians look to the state for health care insurance, housing assistance, and food
stamps. They’re used to having institutions care for them, instead of a family.
With the family and church now out of the picture, people learn their lifestyle principles
from media. The 2002 Barna Research Group reported that media are the most
influential forms of communication today. Movies use story craft to advance a message,
and the message Christians are getting in theaters rarely reflects a biblical worldview.
At home, opportunities to spend time together and interact are eaten up by TV shows
and computer games. There goes the chance to teach your children the words of God.
You can’t “talk of them when thou sittest in thine house” unless you’re talking to each
other in the first place.
We must change that. The objective is to turn Christians to the task of living out the
word of God; to restore the words of God in their hearts; to make them effective bearers
of the gospel of salvation. Because they’re watching movies anyway, our strategy is to
master film craft and take a biblical worldview to the audience.

Mel Cohen Update
We have created a line item budget for The Vision movie. We have been
looking for creative ways to fund it. We have found that the State of Tennessee
has two specific grant programs. One offers a 17 percent rebate on qualified
expenditure while the other offers a 15% rebate.
In addition to this we have applied to our local county for seed money
to get this project started. The return to the county would be in excess of
$1,000,000 of new revenue, so we are praying that they will come through
with the initial funding.
If we can answer any questions on The Vision movie, send me an email at

Created
I had to write to you and let you know that your book, Created To
Be His Help Meet, has completely changed my life. I don’t think
that there is anything in that book I wasn’t doing wrong. It was
placed in my hands by a new and dear friend that God placed in my
path and at any other time, I don’t know if I would have been receptive.
I had to thank you for your commitment to God’s word and not
conforming to this culture. My life with my husband will forever
be changed. To quote him, “Who are you and what have you done
with my wife” and “It’s like you did a 180.” I see new confidence
in him, and our home is full of joy. I knew before we got married
that it would be a challenge to have him lead, because of our ‘innate
personalities’. I know now that it isn’t a ‘personality’ issue so
much as a heart one. I am practicing everyday to be a help meet. I
know that the Holy Spirit has been working on me in many ways to
prepare me for your book. Again, I cannot thank you enough. What
a blessing!

Thank you
No need to respond, but I thought you would like to know the following:
about a year ago I had written to ask advice on an otherwise
clean and wholesome young man who was asking for me in
marriage and had already gone through several months of successful
courtship, but to our shock informed us at the last minute that
he had lied during his initial interview with my father and actually
faced constant homosexual desires and did not desire women.
Your advice had been very strong caution that such people seldom
change; and I broke off the relationship. Well, a year later now
his life has gone downhill spiritually and morally and there are
homosexual pornography and other problems. I am sad to see him
apparently too discouraged to keep fighting while at the same time
too proud to acknowledge his desperate need for help; and I’m still
single at 30; but I am SO THANKFUL for your wise advice and
to have broken things off cleanly even when it seemed hardest!
Thank you for your honesty and help and for faithfully fulfilling
the ministry the Lord has given you! ~ Happily His, L.
Thank you
I wanted to first say a HUGE thank you! You have inspired me as a mother
and a wife to step up and be then woman God has called me to be. My
daughter is 22 months and has hit the “terrible twos” full steam ahead! I feel
like I have the tools to stay calm and loving while dealing with tough situations
that come up. There is a big difference. Before I would get all tense
and stressed when she would misbehave or when I found myself repeating
myself ten times in less then ten seconds, which in return would cause me
to burst with anger like a loud balloon! Then the tears and screaming would
start from her reacting to my yelling and all control was quickly lost between
the two of us. With your guidance I have changed my approach. I can now
calmly take control of every situation and her reactions have changed drastically.
She now responds with “I’m sorry, love you” and hugs and kisses.
I can honestly say that I was lazy before in my parenting and in being a wife.
I did as little as I could to get by. I’ve realized don’t have any role models in
life who could show me how to be a mom and a wife. I now have a renewed
energy for life, a new outlook on how I am to conduct myself, and how I am
to respond to my husband and children (I say children because I am pregnant
with a boy, due in a month). We have all found a new joy. From the bottom
of my heart I thank you for speaking out about things that many others are
scared to open up about, for fear of being rejected.

Jumping Ship
There is a troubling trend showing up among

issue in a series of NGJ magazine articles in
2006. These have now been compiled into
this book, along with new material and an
additional two chapters covering further issues.

NEW!
Many professing Christians
who don’t have a personal relationship with
Christ are seeking meaning in Rabbinical
Judaism, keeping feast days and Sabbaths,

for God and Jesus. Many are “falling from
grace” in their attempt to give the law of
Moses a place in their daily lives. God gave
us the book of Galatians to answer this ancient
and now modern heresy.

The Trojan Horse
This is Dr. Gipp’s answer to the all the hoopla

In Defense of Biblical
Chastisement
Michael brings clear understanding back into
the confusing and often misunderstood subject
of corporal chastisement. After firmly
laying the Biblical foundation for chastisement,
he then answers the question, “How do
I apply corporal chastisement properly?” Finally,
he shows the effectiveness of Biblical
chastisement demonstrated in those families
that practice it as taught.

repentance, true and false
Undoubtedly the most misunderstood word
in the Bible. Have you repented? If you
haven’t you cannot be saved. Did you know
that the most oft used phrase, “Repent of
your sins,” is not to be found in the Bible
even one time? Then what is this vital act
that God requires as a condition of salvation?
Michael Pearl explores this subject in depth
and gives definitive Biblical answers. This
message could be the one that will change
your life forever and forever. 1 CD $5.95
Sin No More
The big question is: “So how do I stop sinning?”
You have confessed your sins, received
the baptism of the Holy Ghost with
evidence of everything but ceasing to sin; yet
you are still a Romans 7 Christian. I assure
you, God not only saves his children from
the penalty of sin but he saves them from its
power as well. You can stop sinning.

Good and Evil Update
By Chuck Joyner,
Asst. General Manager
Getting Started and Finishing After months of working to
secure translators, the translation of Good and Evil into the Punjabi and
Urdu languages of Pakistan and India is now underway. With over 160 million
combined speakers of these two languages,these translations have the
potential to greatly impact South Asia. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the
only solution to the great conflicts of this region and Good and Evil has
proven to be an effective tool in presenting the Gospel. Please pray for the
swift completion of these translations for the sake of those millions of souls trapped
in the bondage of sin and hopeless religion.
We are nearing the finish line on three other translations that are scheduled to be
printed in April and May. The Falam Chin language is spoken by over 100,000 people
in the mountains of northwest Burma bordering India. The Zaiwa language has over
100,000 speakers mostly in northeast Burma and the bordering areas of China. The
speakers of Hawa Naga number over a million and live mostly in northeast India and
northern Burma. These people groups are mostly unknown to the rest of the world but
are known of God and need to hear the message of salvation in Jesus Christ. Thank you
for your continued support of NGJ’s publishing and distribution of Good and Evil in
these and other languages.
Russian Update The initial translation work is completed. There has been a team
of five people working on the project. They strove to keep the balance between Bible
idioms and conversational language. All the Russian workers found Good and Evil to
be an extremely interesting book to read. We already have many requests for Good and
Evil from missionaries in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. We expect to print by the end
of May and start distribution in the Jewish Community Center in Gomel to prisons,
orphanages, summer camps and churches.
If you want to specifically support these or other languages or the Translation Project
in general you can go the then NGJ website at www.nogreaterjoy.org and click

Join the Explosion
NGJ’s Distributorship Program
By Mel Cohen CFP, RFC
NGJ has reached a major milestone. We have
passed the 500 mark with a total of 520 NGJ
Distributors in 14 countries as of May 1, 2010.
We continue to add at least ten new Distributors
every month. You too can “Join the Explosion”
as a business opportunity, to minister to others or
to do both. Check it out at www.nogreaterjoy.org/
business-in-a-box and get started today.
After reviewing our website, call Mel Cohen at
931-593-2484 to answer your questions or to sign
up for the program. Email questions to:
mcohen@nogreaterjoy.org.
