SECOND BOOK PUBLISHED - Don Klstler shows off one of the copies of his second book, “The Father and sons Shall Be One,’’ and mall sacks tilled with other Photo By Tom McIntyre copies going to book stores and Individuals. This Is the second of three books on Qod’s words published by Positive People Worldwide of Kings Mountain. Kistier’s Second Book Is Off The Presses "’The Father and sons Shall Be One,” the second In a series of three books on the words of God, is off the presses. Don Klstler, president of Positive People Worldwide and the man who terms himself "scribe" of these books, said, "I am not the author. I merely put the words of God together as he told them to me so that the reader may have a better understanding of the scrip ture." When he says, "as he told them to me," he means It literally. "I know many people disbelieve this, but that's alright,’’ he said. “I am not out for personal glory. It Is my purpose to help people understand the words of God and perhaps find their way to God." The first book, entitled "’The Arithmetic of God,” which Is now being published by Bantam Books for worldwide distribution, dealt with the theme that every number indicated In The Bible has a word meaning. Klstler said words change meaning In different languages and dialects, but not numbers. "It Is shown In "The Arithmetic of God’ that the word of God Is Infallable," Klstler said. "’Therefore Is It Impossible to destroy the word of God." 'The second book tackles a different text. The title, "The Father andsons Shall Be One,” means that God and all of humanity shall ultlmatsly become as one. "The contents of this book have never been taught In TTie Church,” Klstler said, referring to ’The Church as the one that embraces the word of God as Infallable. "’The text deals with the fact that woman Is the rib of man and must come back Into man and that man came from God and must come back Into God,” he said. "Woman must be In subjection to man and man In subjection God.” Klstler said God points out In his words In the second book that nowhere In hts 14 epistles did Paul ever mention that the church Is the bride "Old Testament -ael Is the wife of God and has made herself ready for the marriage supper with the bridegroom, which Is the church. "Inthe book of acts,” Klstler continued, "which Is the teachings to the church suid the history of the church written by Luke The Apostle, Luke does not mention the bride a single time. When Paul refers to the church In his epistles he refers to it as he, him or sons, never In the feminine gender.” Klstler said he realized such comments would bring a storm on his head, but he smiled, "I hope so. I hope It causes people to return to their Bibles and read. If this happens and the people find renewed life, then I don’t care how many toes I step on.” The third book In the series Is being written, but as yet there Is no title. Klstler said he will be told by God what the title Is to be later, at the proper time. The series of three books were planned several years ago when Klstler lived In Colorado. During a nine month period when he remained In total Isolation away from his family fasting and meditating, Klstler said "God spoke to me. Tlio words that appear In the books are God’s words. I am merely the scribe.” The first printing of "The Arithmetic of God" was 6,000, but Immediately a second order was given for 10,000 more. The books were distributed to book stores, sent to Individuals and mailed to people who had or dered them. Prior to printing the second book, Klstler said Positive People Worldwide had advance orders from people and book stores. "The third book, which Is sUll being written, has pre- publlshlng orders of 800 to 400 on file,” Klstler said. Klstler has appeared on the PTL TV show and has been Invited to appear on The 700 Club.
