There is no shortage of biographies about Billy Graham, the famous evangelist who passed away back in 2018 at the age of 99. I have read several of them so far, along with Billy's own autobiography. Even though Billy Graham had a remarkable life and is fascinating material for a biography, it wasOengushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02537779684816982064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871107.post-51473994897605974242019-10-15T14:32:00.000-07:002021-08-22T19:48:56.764-07:00Prophet with HonorA Book ReviewTitle: A Prophet with Honor

I don't feel like writing a full blown book review, so this will be just a very brief mini-review. I will give a few of my impressions.
On the plus side, I do recommend A Prophet with Honor, updated edition.

This book review concerns the third book of a three book series that is Lonnie Frisbee's posthumous autobiography, which is titled Not by Might Nor by Power. I have already reviewed the first and second books in the series. I strongly suggest that these two reviews should be read first.

Dear Lonnie,
First of all, after waiting for such a long time, I finally got a copy of the third book of your posthumous autobiography. It came in the mail back on March 30th. As anticipated, it is subtitled "Set Free". It is slightly longer than either of the preceding two books, and it covers the years from when you quit your ministry position at Anaheim Oengushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02537779684816982064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871107.post-16219297740400633232018-12-28T16:04:00.000-08:002021-11-16T12:57:10.099-08:00Epistles to Lonnie FrisbeeLetter #9

Dear Lonnie,
Thanks for sending me the angelgram. Yes, I did get it. Since this was the first one I have ever received, getting an angelgram was a strange, new experience for me.

This is a mini book review, and so I will try to keep this as short as possible. I only write lengthy reviews if I have had the chance to read a book at least three times. At this point in time, I have other projects I want to complete first.

Dear Lonnie,
I was doing weed abatement for the county. When I checked over the property, I missed a patch of wild Lupine. Well, my sheep ate some of it, which is poisonous. So I ended up with some sick sheep. It took time for things to recover, but I now have enough vellum to write to you again and still have Seraphic Mail stamps.

Dear Lonnie,
By now you are probably tired of hearing about my sheep business and all its travails. I will refrain myself, leave off talking about that, and just say that I have processed enough lambskin vellum to write you another letter using the Seraphic Mail Service. It is important that I get straight to the point.

Dear Lonnie,
Well, my sheep herding has expanded further since I last wrote you. My wife has now opened a small cafe, which specializes in lamb gyros, souvlaki, Byzantine desserts, and specialty coffee roasting. I supply the lamb; she roasts it on a spit and carves it up for sandwiches and gyros and other tasty dishes.

The Date
What is very odd about Account #1 is that John Wimber (or his ghost writer) uses 1979 as the date when the event took place. This date is almost certainly wrong.

Dear Lonnie,
My flock is growing and is doing quite well. Now I have gotten as far as buying an Australian shepherd from a professional dog trainer to help me in managing the herd. Though it cost a lot, this dog is truly a canine genius, I tell you, and he likes me very much. His name is Bimbo. He was named after a character in the old Betty Boop cartoons.
