Character Counts - Revisions
www.preciousheart.net 

We ready this first edition for review.  The story substantially uplifts a Christian Freemason and seriously challenges the SBC anti-Mason document along with David Barton, John Ankerberg, and James Hollywith character counting as the hammer driving the wedge of credibility between them.  Hopefully with forward from a notable Freemason, the following edits will be in the next revision, most of which are simple style issues, none of which affect cogency.  I will be grateful for any suggestions.  One friend noted that I used "too" too many times, and she was right, most of which will be culled in the second edition.  

E-mail me here mgmaness@earthlink.net, for I hope to incorporate these with a forward by January 2007. I thank all for the help to date and welcome more. Have great day.

Sincerely, Michael Glenn Maness
