Review
"Since the day I came to Christ in 1969, I cannot recall a time when I was not aware of the existence and influence of John Rawlings. This important biography will tell his story for generations to come."
--Keith Bassham, Editor, Baptist Bible Tribune
"Dr. John Rawlings was like a father to me. As a young boy I met Dr. Rawlings through my father Jerry Falwell, Sr., and I remember the many wonderful things that he said about him. Dr. Rawlings was first and foremost a pastor, a fundamentalist for truth, a fighter who was not afraid of attacking sin, and one who loved evangelism. I pray that God would use this book to create a love in other people that I have for Dr. Rawlings."
--Jonathan Falwell, Senior Pastor, Thomas Road Baptist Church, Lynchburg, Virginia
"There was never any doubt whatsoever on the part of anyone who knew him but that John William Rawlings was sold out to God and His business. Dr. John felt it. He breathed it. He promoted it. In my mind he was a modern example of old-time Fundamentalism. Anything that had to do with soul winning, evangelism, and missions—and especially young people—he was for it. While no biography could do God's man, John W. Rawlings, justice, this one by his loving great-granddaughter will do just nicely. Tears will probably come to your eyes in places, as they did in mine, but they will be happy tears. Read this challenging, thrilling biography and become acquainted—or, perhaps, better acquainted—with one of God's champions."
--Robert L. Sumner, Editor, The Biblical Evangelist
"Dr. John Rawlings was the last great man from a generation of Independent Baptist giants. You will want to know how God used him and why God used him. We know him as a popular figure, but who was the real man? The Lord is Not Through with Me Yet is a fascinating read about a fascinating man. I found it inspiring, convicting, and funny. I recommend it for every preacher, for everyone who wants to understand preachers, and for anyone who wants to see what God can do through a life committed to Him."
--Jerry A. Johnson, Ph.D., Criswell College President, Professor of Ethics & Theology
