From Despair To Victory| Atlanta, GA. My 2 book signing events @ 2011 I.C.R.S Book Convention | | Posted by Benjamin on Monday, July 25, 2011 at 9:04am |
One of the great experiences and thrills of my recent life was attending the International
Christian Retail "Book" show held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga. July 10 thru 13, 2011. The thrill of signing my book in two 1.5 hour sessions for people associated with book stores or book distributing from across the USA and many foreign countries as they lined up to receive a copy of From Despair to Victory. My hand cramped from constantly signing but it was the best cramp I ever experienced.

Your book was so touching it brought tears to my eyes and I know it had to be difficult for you to have to re-call all the happenings in your life. To recall all the hard times and record it all in writing had to be very trying. Dr. Bates your book is so compelling I plan to read it again for the third time. It is a wonderful book, and I thank you for writing it.
| | | | | The Cover Picture On My Book | | Posted by Benjamin on Monday, July 5, 2010 at 5:24pm | The question I get asked most when signing my book at book signings is: "is that you in the picture on your book cover?" The answer is yes. That picture was taken in (1955) during a large three week, seven cities ten crusade in the San Gaberial Valley, California, while I was preaching. A news paper photographer brought the picture by the tent and ask me if I had any idea how I looked in the heat of preaching? I thanked him for the picture and filed it away for 54 years. My publisher asked for an action picture of earlier years and I went to the archives and there was the picture.
So many have asked: "do you have any idea what you were preaching about that evening? Of course I don't remember the subject but I usually tell them "I was preaching Jesus." Some ask: "what type a preacher were you." I always say, "exactly the kind I am now....."A traditional Bible preacher, preaching the Book, the Blood and the blessed Hope! Copies of my book may be obtained through
Barns&Noble, Amazon.com, World Scope Evangelism, Inc. 863-224-0307.
