I sold John Wipff about a thousand of my books when I left IV to raise money to start Servant Partners. John was the wonderful and anarchic businessman who got the bookstore off the ground. He stiffed me and paid me about 20 cents on the dollar. I was glad to make the contribution. Sometimes you're glad to get taken :^) Lots of time spent at the Archives.

Powells in Portland was my richest source, and I found handful of titles at Archives in Pasadena when I moved here. Yeah, he can be hard to find for sure.

Hard to get 'em even online at Amazon or Powell's or at The Tattered Cover, our local in-the-flesh and just-might-change-your-life subversive big book store here in Denver. His break down of Genesis in "How the World Began" influenced the way I looked at the world and the church in my early twenties and had a big impact on my subsequent work with IV and Servant Partners. I'm not as big a fan of his take as I once was, but I'm as grateful to him as almost any Christian writer I can think of. Can't go wrong Herr Helmut :^) Tough to get his stuff outside of seminary bookstores these days.

A pastor and preacher in Germany during the war, his is a powerful witness. Must reads by him are Life Can Begin Again (on the Sermon on the Mount); the Waiting Father and Our Heavenly Father.
