He was an inspiration for many of us, those who in a sea
of fake prophets and mega-church businessmen, were
seeking for honest and Spirit-inspired preaching of the Gospel.
I am sad because he is no longer with us, though I rejoice
knowing that he is with our Lord Jesus Christ right now. He
is home.
Blessed be his soul.

I think he sums it up as "if it is there, why not trying it?" and
having a chapter specifically named "holding on from His mercy",
which pretty much made me peaceful about a possible "name
it, claim it" as if God would be an automatic vending machine.
I do believe the promises are there. But I also believe "our thoughts
are not His thoughts", and He has perfect plans which may seem
incomprehensible (and painful) at some point.
That said, I haven't checked any more of his material.
