Some time ago, I began working on a book to introduce laymen to the subject of Baptist history.  Many, having had exposure to my Baptist history audio series, requested that the material be made available in book form.  After several futile attempts at transcribing the audio, I decided to just write the book from scratch, as it were, scrapping the transcription idea.

After months of work on the project, on and off as schedule would allow, I am about to enter the final chapter of the first part of the book.  Do not for a moment assume that the fat lady is warming up her vocal cords.  It is more akin to Winston Churchill’s comments on the Allied invasion of North Africa:

“This is not the end.  It is not the beginning of the end.  But it may be the end of the beginning.”

In any case, it is measurable progress—always encouraging.
