Broadman and Holman has posted an interview with Dr. David Allen and Dr. Steve Lemke about the upcoming book, Whosoever Will.
This book arose from the John 3:16 Conference back in November of 2008.

I was elected president of the SBC in 1988. Some half-jokingly said I was the first independent Baptist in history elected president! Actually, all my roots are in Southern Baptist life. I was saved, called to preach, educated, and served in only Southern Baptist churches.
In the earlier years several of us were so concerned about liberalism in the SBC we thought we might indeed become independents. Adrian Rogers and I talked about it frequently. Of course, you know the...

But, it wasn't all bad.
If you have never listened to an automobile 8-track, you ain't lived. But, do we ever have the technology to do...
In the interest of full disclosure, I must make a few confessions. I have actually presided over some boring SBC meeting sessions (although I presided over some humdingers as well!).
