"The Seal of God" reprinted and now available

I received this email today from our friend Trish.
It is self explanatory.
This book,The Seal of God, is a locally authored,South Australian book that talks and teaches on the marvels of God's creation.

The late Eric Finck was an elder emeritus at our church in my formative Christian years.
A wonderful wise Christian. 

"As promised (a long time ago) we are now advising that we have “hot off the press” a new edition of The Seal of God, which has been unavailable for some time. I am so thankful to God for all of David’s help to my sister, Fran and I, in enabling the promise we made to our Dad (Eric Finck) to make sure it was once again reprinted. Please rejoice with us and pray that God opens door of opportunity to once again distribute it to His glory.

A quick update.  In 1945, Cyril Payne (FC Payne) wrote the book “The Seal of God in Creation and the Word”.  In 1972, he passed the baton to Eric Finck to continue to update and distribute it.  He revised the book keeping much of Cyril’s content and adding more.

Over 230,000 copies have been distributed worldwide from Australia. Further to that, others have published and distributed the book in specific regions. We have now released the latest revision of the book. This 2012 Edition is now available (with more new content) by contacting my son David Dennis by email: mail@sealofgod.com.au or me by phone. It costs $10 a single copy including postage and you can pay for the book through Paypal on his web site.

The focus of the book is to make it very clear, that there is a God and He has shown Himself and His purpose for us in everything around us.  We simply need to open our eyes to Him. We trust that through its distribution people will to come to know God.  If you would like to add this book to your collection, we would be pleased to hear from you.

For any further enquiries, please contact David or myself.

Passing of Eric Finck

Today Lesley and I attended the funeral of the late Eric Finck.
Eric was 98 years old.
We first met him and his wife Florence and family at the Church of Christ at Grote Street in the 1970's.
Eric was a very scholarly and wise Christian who influenced many lives including our own.
He became an elder at the Grote Street Church and then Elder Emeritus.
Eric came to Jesus as his Lord and Saviour through the late F.C.Payne who was the author of a locally produced and best selling book, "The Seal of God".
Here is a link to a PDF version of The Seal of God.

The mantle of reprinting and revising the book fell on Eric's shoulders when Mr. Payne died.
One of Eric's loves was wildflowers and native  orchids and photography of these.
He took many slides over the years and used to give talks to groups on the marvels of creation using his slides as illustrations.
I was privileged to spend about an hour with Eric about a month ago looking at some of his digitised collection and talking about the images.
Here is what was written on the service programme today.

"A man with a deep profound faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
A man of integrity,compassion,humility and love.
A faithful servant,a man who walked with God.
Loved and respected by all who had the privilege to know him.
Assuredly today he would have heard these words.
"Well done, good and faithfull servant."
Resting now in his Savior's loving arms.
Till we meet again in Glory."

It was a fitting tribute to Erick and his life.
There were many in attendance.
His daughters Trish,Fran and Christine delivered the eulogy.

Below is a recent pic I took of Eric at his home.
In his younger days he was a  keen collector of mechanical toys.
We had an enjoyable time winding them up.

Eric and Florence and good friends Ruth and David
