However, she felt that they would be a help to her in teaching her Sunday School-class. Steve on the Cover made an appointment to talk with her at a later date at which time she made the decision to purchase the books for cash. In talking with Doris, Steve discovered that she had read "Every Moment is HIS" several of our books such as The Great Controversy, Steps to Christ, Daniel and the Revelation, and others, and had "Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we are attended a "Revelation Seminar" two years previously.
