02.01. Introduction

While stationed in Germany (it was West Germany at that time), I was introduced to Keith Green by subscribing to The Last Days Newsletter and reading his columns which led to my listening to his music.

Inside The Last Days Newsletter was always an article on some pertinent topic. I first read Leonard Ravenhill through one of these columns, and was also introduced to Winkie Pratney here. Some months Keith was the one who wrote the column.

One month I was interested when I opened and started reading Keith’s column for that month titled The Catholic Chronicles Part One, since my wife and I were Roman Catholic. By the time I finished reading, I was upset and so was my wife. By the end of Part Four, my life had changed. I could no longer view the world in the same manner I had once looked at it. My wife was a little slower in seeing the difference since she was raised in a Catholic family (I converted from ’nothing’ so we could get married), but she eventually was the one who decided we could not stay Catholic’s any longer.

If you are reading this and are Catholic, please read it with an open mind and remember, no matter what the local priest may have taught you (this was my wife’s sticking point, she wasn’t taught ’strict’ doctrine), the points that Keith talks about are from offical church documents and he quotes his sources throughout (I can supply additional ones if needed, sources that have been added since Keith’s death). The Wisdom of the Lord be with you as you read.
