3.5 Million Copies of U.S. AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY Distributed

The UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY continues to be the Church's most requested publication (other than The PLAIN TRUTH). More than 3.5 million copies have been sent out since 1958 (which is as far back as our records go). This year alone 339,473 books have been requested. The last two telecasts offering it brought in more than 25,000 requests.

If all 3.5 million books were loaded onto a train, they would fill 21 large boxcars and weigh 2,000,000 pounds! If placed in a single stack, they would tower 26 miles high.

Many readers have said that the knowledge of the identity of the U.S. and Britain is the most astounding information they have ever come across. People frequently mention reading the book over several times and often request additional copies for family and friends. Following are a few of the many comments we have received:

This is my first time writing to you, although I have heard your broadcasts since I was a small child. Just last summer I took the time after all these years to really read your literature and absorb just what you were saying. I believe your book THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY to be the most inspiring religious publication I have ever read outside of the Bible. I believe you really have the answers and the true interpretation of Scripture and Bible prophecy.

In the past I've flipped through the channels and come across Mr. Armstrong. I asked for and received THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. I have a master's degree in Bible, but have learned more in the first two chapters of your book than in all my college classes. Even though we covered every book in the Bible, it never harmonized. But it does now.

I've just finished reading your book THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. I've never been more excited about anything in my life besides finding out that God is real. Please send me any literature you have available. I was deceived until I read your book. I feel like I've been sacrificing to idols. All our tithes will be coming to you from now on.

Thank you for sending THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. I was unable to lay it aside, read it in minimum time, reread it and keep going back over it. What startling discoveries for the reader! I was shaken to know I may be an Israelite descendant and that my country will be subjected to such punishment. My reaction — tears of joy, fear and grief.

At the end of his fascinating book, THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote of a "decision" for the reader to make.... When hearing reports on world famine, war, apocalyptic occurrences in nature, and overall depression, I can't help but acknowledge the fact that something of divine origin is going to change this world's system of things dramatically. I want to make the RIGHT decision! If there are any representatives of the Worldwide Church of God living in Fort Wayne, please write and let me know.

I am writing to request that you, if this is at all possible, send me two dozen copies of THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. I cannot begin to describe to you what happened to me when I read your hook. It's amazing to think that the British and we of this God-blessed and created nation of America are of the two chosen tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. My husband was just as overcome as I was. I believe receiving this new knowledge to be the greatest thing that has ever happened to me!

Only this past summer did I meet up with The PLAIN TRUTH in a second-hand store. Sitting in the book section was THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY. I bought it, read it in one night and have since sought after any and all writings by your organization. That you are willing to print quality and truth and offer it free is indeed rare in this society.

I've spent two days buried in the prophecies of Britain and the United States. I want to tell you it awakened me and I give you my thanks. You are doing a wonderful job for God and I pray you will find a way to keep up your good work. Please don't let anyone talk you out of your job.
