I am happy to announce the release of an updated and expanded version of my   
   April 2000 series entitled "Our Pagan World: The Easter Myth Exposed" This   
   new expanded version of the series contains seven parts as opposed to the   
   original version which consisted of five parts. It includes new commentary   
   and Bible verses, better formatting, as well as a series graphical header,   
   which I began adding to my articles and series in January of this current   
   year. You can access the series from the Endtime Prophecy Net home page, or   
   simply by going directly to the URL below:

   This series is also available in downloadable PDF format, here on our   
   Armageddon BBS, as well as on our Endtime Prophecy Net website.   
      
   As is my customary practice, below you will find a synopsis of each of the   
   seven parts. As always, feel free to post your reactions to this series on   
   my Facebook page, on our Endtime Prophecy Net Blog, on our Endtime Prophecy   
   Net Messageboard, or on the Endtime Discussion Group Exchange -- EDGE --

   expanded series.
