    Just wanted to report that I have officially submitted my dissertation for the PhD in Church History. My Supervisor at the Univ. of Pretoria has submitted copies to the examiners. I will defend in November.

    Thanks for all the support. I included DegreeInfo in the Acknowledgements.

    WOW. I never realized they were such a bargain. That's cheaper than many associate degrees!

    OK, good to know. Sounds like you and Cory (CLSeibel) had similar experiences with regard to the defense.

    Great news, Roscoe. I'd love to get a hold of the monograph. Should I contact the publisher directly? I will definitely plan to pray for you the day of your defense. I'm very happy for you.

    Thanks, Tom.

    It's listed on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/F-F-Bosworth-Behind-Christ-Healer/dp/1443810045/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251830527&sr=1-3

    The delay in its release is my fault. It was supposed to be on the market earlier this year, but I was late with the manuscript. I was tied up with the dissertation.

    I would like to add my own congratulations to the others. Well done and bravo for getting the thesis published in monograph form. This is very encouraging and should help others through your example. I may be doing a similar method of defence next Spring.
