When Merlin Carothers began receiving letters in response to his first book, Prison to Praise . I accepted Jesus as my Savior while reading your book. Here in prison I knelt beside my steel bunk and accepted Christ while reading your book. A primary goal of the Foundation of Praise has been to keep operating costs to an absolute minimum.
Many organizations pay thousands of dollars to their presidents or leaders.
Not so with the Foundation of Praise . Merlin and Mary receive no salary. We have resisted all tendencies to become a large organization with many employees and magnificent buildings. Since thirteen million of Merlin s books have been distributed, we could have grown in size rather than in ministry. We have chosen to reach needy people to tell them about our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
