Waking up a sleeping soul — how tough is that?
I was doing a book table in the Hamilton CBD, and a drunk and homeless guy walks up and says, “Do you know Jesus Christ?” As all book distributors know, this is the beginning of a tough time. So I said, “Yes, he’s the son of God.” He looked at me in shock and disbelief. “You believe that?” he asked. I reassured him, and suddenly he was pacified. He started looking at the books. He picked up...
A young lady takes three sets (SB, CC, SPL)!
She walked by and left a dollar on our book table. I asked her why she did that. She responded, “Because you’re doing a great thing out here.” I then began to speak to her, to give her more books.

She’s met book distributors once before and was hoping to meet us somewhere again....

The next day I wanted to try to sell a SB set, and I took the set with me on the footpath of the...
Ukraine catatrophy
Hare Krsna, Usually, I send only texts about book distribution, but this is an emergency. Ukraine is a poor country. I’ve witnessed this while visiting it many times. Lots of the devotees don’t even have cars. Some do, so they drive out of the country. Some are walking in the cold with only the clothes on their backs.
