Class Begins Soon Low-priced Juicers "Hallelujah! Simple Weekly Meal Plans" Marilyn's Coleslaw ............................................................................ A Word from the LORD: "The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy." - Psalm 145:17-20 (KJV) ............................................................................. BarleyMax Is The Best I've tried several green powder drinks since changing my diet almost six years ago. But I honestly believe I have finally found the best green powder drink as far as nutritional content and value is concerned. Here are my reasons: (1) BarleyMax uses only certified organic crops grown in the high elevations of Utah where the soil is high in minerals. (2) After seeing the comparisons with other popular green powders, I am confident that BarleyMax contains the highest level of vitamin, mineral, enzyme, antioxidant, chlorophyll, and amino acid content. (3) BarleyMax contains only barley and alfalfa - no cooked brown rice, no cooked kelp, and no maltodextrin - which, in my opinion, are only non-nutritive fillers. (4) BarleyMax is not a whole-leaf product and contains virtually no fiber. (5) A 2-month supply for one person only cost $34.95. (6) I don't have to be part of Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) to purchase the BarleyMax. When you make a BarleyMax purchase from Hallelujah Acres (1-800-915-9355), they give you a 10% discount on your first purchase. Yes, they do give Health Ministers a small commission when you use that HM's Personal Identification Number (PIN), but whether you do or do not use it, the BarleyMax is the same price to you. Of course Doug and I are extremely grateful when you do use our PIN, which is ACO, because it does help keep our ministry going. We feel called of the LORD to help people to better health, so it truly encourages us when you support our ministry. Thank you for doing something good for yourself and for us. - Marilyn .............................................................................. How to Wind Up in a Rest Home or Worse Ever have these thoughts? "If one thing doesn't kill you, another one will." "If it's your time to go, there's nothing you can do." "Nobody's going to tell me what to eat!" "I'm too far gone, so give me what I like." "I'm too old to change." "That diet (The Hallelujah Diet & Lifestyle) is too hard." "I'd rather die than to eat like that!" Or perhaps you have commented on a loved one's plight by saying, "Well, he/she is too old to change", or "We might as well give her/him what she/he likes 'cause it's too late to change her/him", or even "There's no way we can provide the food that he/she needs, so we might as well let him/her eat what he/she wants". These statements are prevalent all around us and understandable in the light of the propaganda that is so pervasive in our society. The propaganda from the medical community, the government, the food industry, and even from the clergy is all too often that we can eat what we want and it's O.K. Sure, it's O.K. if you don't care about your mission on earth of having an abundant life of energy and usefulness to the Lord for reaching the lost. Sure, it's O.K. if you don't care about being a burden to your family in your last years because you selfishly ate and drank anything you desired. That kind of thinking will get you a heart attack, cancer, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, or worse - a life of paralysis, total dependability on others, expensive medication and treatment, and final days of pain and disfigurement in a rest home or constant care facility. Sure it's O.K. if you don't care about that loved one who has a real chance of survival and of full recovery if given a healing diet of fresh whole foods, fresh vegetable and fruit juices with exercise, sunshine, fresh air, and rest. It's O.K. if you have the attitude that it's not your fault and there's nothing you can do. But if you DO CARE....and you DO BELIEVE that God can work miracles through you.....there is a way to health and wellness that is SIMPLE but not easy. It takes discipline, time, prayer, knowledge, hard work, encouragement, and a desire to be a vibrant temple of the living God. If you DO CARE about your son, daughter, sister, brother, mom, dad, uncle, aunt, or other family member then do all you can to get them on a healthy diet of fresh fruit and vegetable juices, whole raw foods, fresh raw nuts and seeds, exercise, sunshine, and proper rest. Pray for them and with them. Get in their hands all the information you can about The Hallelujah Diet & Lifestyle. Send them videos, books, bring them to a "Get Healthy Stay Balanced" seminar or a "Back to Life" retreat, or accompany them to a Hallelujah Acres Family Reunion or monthly "How to Eliminate Sickness" seminar at Shelby, N.C. If YOU do not want to be a burden to your family, then get on The Hallelujah Diet and get back to the life that God intended you to have. Please don't waste your good years on foods that are killing you. Get off the meats, dairy, sugar, salt, processed flour, caffeine, and other processed foods and toxins and get on the garden diet of fresh organic plant-based whole foods and juices with adequate amounts of exercise, rest, fresh air, and sunshine. There's a little song that sums it up this way. "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam to shine for Him each day. In every way try to please Him at school, at work, at play". Marilyn and I pray that you will join us in shouting from the mountain tops, "You don't have to be sick!" May the Lord bless you and give you the courage, wisdom, and discipline to follow His original plan for wellness. Our "rest home" should be heaven and we should go out of here flaming with the light of Jesus Christ. Be a Son-beam! .............................................................................

Back to Life Retreat Testimonies "Freddy and I enjoyed having Marilyn and Doug at our church for a 2-day retreat. They handled everything so professionally and gave everyone a lot of good information in a short time. They are a very dedicated couple serving the Lord in this ministry. They will help anyone who will listen.” - Pat S. “I have enjoyed the health and nutritional information as well as the spiritual lessons associated with the Hallelujah Acres diet. Actually, tying together how we eat with Who gave us what we have and how we are intended to value this temple is a great happening and a great inspiration. This retreat has been very rewarding and I am convinced, life changing. Margaret and I are most appreciative of the advice and instruction, which you and Marilyn gave us in this new direction.” - John T. “The "Back to Life" retreat gave us a great start to a better life; a future with hope (something the doctors had taken away) that we could live well and pain free. After a few lessons, you understand why people are so sick! Try it for your future!” - Rick and Carla M. ............................................................................. Maker's Diet Lies Jordan Rubin's book, "The Maker's Diet" has been reviewed by Dr. George Malkmus in his weekly "Health Tips" email newsletter. According to brother Malkmus, Rubin has attacked the Hallelujah Diet and the Genesis 1:29 diet from the Bible. In response to these criticisms, Dr. Malkmus dedicated several weekly Health Tip issues to a critical review of the book "The Maker's Diet". Hundreds of readers of Health Tips responded with an invitation to brother Malkmus to compile his review into booklet form and it is now available from Hallelujah Acres. Here is the excerpt from Health Tips and how to order. In A RESPONSE TO THE MAKER'S DIET, Rev. Malkmus takes you chapter by chapter, revealing the false claims made by Jordan S. Rubin. Backed by Biblical truths and scientific studies, Rev. Malkmus passionately refutes each of Rubin's 12 "myths," which include advocating the consumption of meat, and more. In addition, Rev. Malkmus exposes Rubin's contradictory account about which diet actually cured Rubin of Crohn's disease. Following are a few of the letters sent by subscribers to Rev. Malkmus, as they responded to Jordan Rubin's book, and what Rev. Malkmus had written about it in his Critique: "Rev. Malkmus, I wanted to send a note of thanks for taking the time to review THE MAKER'S DIET. I want to fall to my knees and weep every time I think of that book. I get asked often about THE MAKER'S DIET, and it is so difficult to contain my earthly anger towards such apostate teachings. I do, however, manage to just gently and lovingly steer folks back to the truth and THE HALLELUJAH DIET." (Jerrod Sessler, NASCAR Driver & Health Minister) "Hi George, having read this book several months ago, I had forgotten how dangerous the information in this book is. I had read his first book and was cheering as he literally came back from the dead. Isn't it sad that now he has figured out how to make loads of money on supplements, as he leads people in the wrong direction? Thank you for having the courage to expose his 'myths' and lies about proper health and nutrition." (Claudia B., Gordon, Georgia) "I admire and appreciate the way in which you handled the criticism of THE HALLELUJAH DIET, by Jordan Rubin, in his book THE MAKER'S DIET. Your answers are clear, simple, and profound - based on research and on the truth of God's Word. Outstanding work! Please keep it up! I would like to suggest that you put all these critiques in a book format and publish it, so that more people can have access to such valuable truth. Many who have read Jordan Rubin's book have been deceived, but they deserve to know what is 'MYTH' and what is 'TRUTH.' We have witnessed the rise and fall of many 'diets,' but the WORD OF GOD ABIDETH FOREVER." (Valentina D., Stanton, Kentucky) For more information concerning this 64-page booklet, A RESPONSE TO THE MAKER'S DIET, or to purchase a copy, call (800) 915-9355, or contact your local Health Minister (Doug or Marilyn Polk at 877-200-0862). The price of this new booklet is only $2.95. Health Ministers will find this booklet an invaluable tool as they seek to minister to those who approach them with questions regarding THE MAKER'S DIET. .............................................................................

The gift of salvation is free, but it is not cheap - He gave His life to buy you back. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23 (KJV) As with any gift, it is not yours until you receive it.
