found “The Cross and the Crescent,” Dr. Glen Scorgie’s article on Islam (Winter 2001-2002), very beneficial. Not only does it provide information about Islam, but it also has some theological meat to it. Thank you for your valued work.

have really enjoyed reading Heart & Mind. Particularly great was the article about “Long Distance Runners” (Summer 2002). Carl and Nancy Lundquist were pastors at our church years ago, and many of our seniors knew them.

our article on Nancy Lundquist, Gordon Johnson, and Virgil Olson in the summer issue of Heart & Mind was so very enjoyable. Virgil Olson was one of my professors at Bethel Seminary, and I would love to send him greetings.

eeing Mrs. Carl Lundquist, Dr. Gordon Johnson, and Dr. Virgil Olson on the cover of Heart & Mind (Summer 2002) forcibly reminded me of intentions, sinfully delayed, to communicate with these, my teachers from long ago, and to say thank you.

hank you so much for your excellent Summer 2002 issue on “Long Distance Runners.” We really appreciated the focus on these special people who were such a big part of our lives during our Bethel days. The articles were written personally and sensitively, capturing so much of why these individuals have influenced us for Jesus Christ.

ust read the article “Long Distance Runners” in the Summer 2002 Heart & Mind. Tremendous interviews with some choice saints, thank you. It is an excellent article for us “baby-boomers” as more and more of us are contemplating retirement (“refirement!”).

ell, I’m home now and all I can say is WOW! As I read your excerpts from my e-mails (Summer 2002) I was moved and very humbled. In case you are wondering if my message reached anyone, I’ve had several letters, e-mails, and phone calls from readers of Heart & Mind letting me know that my experience touched them. Thank you for giving my message a voice in your magazine.
