Dear Friends of Zadok Publications,
Our last newsletter was published in June of last
year. At that time, Dr. Oliver said he was ending more than twenty
years of monthly newsletters and transitioning to an occasional
format. The transition was due to his health problems, but there was
more to it at a deeper level. Dr. Oliver knew his audience had come
to expect something deep, something with substance, something that
could fuel their spirits to greater heights. This didn't come
easily, and with his health challenges, the duty became more of a
chore to endure rather than a joyful creations to explore.
This was a difficult but necessary decision. It was
also the type of decision that has a way of taking the wind out of
your sails. Little did we know it would be a year before another
newsletter would go out, and it's been a year where we've had to
lean on and trust the Lord in greater measure than ever before.
Most of you viewing this already know that our dear
Dr. C.R. Oliver passed away on December 19, 2025. Without belaboring
details, a Cellulitis infection in his right knee, from a surgery 4
years prior, created a mountain of challenges that his body didn't
have the strength to overcome. He "fought the good fight," but after
a series of ER visits, hospitalizations, rehabilitation hospitals
and skilled nursing facilities, he joined the Heavenly Choir
peacefully from his own living room.
At the moment, we are still confirming what the Lord
has for Oliver Evangelistic Association. For now, we will continue
to work with foreign missionaries and mission groups. The
bookstore will continue to function as long as we have an inventory
of books, and this website will be intact for the future. Just last
week we converted all of the eBooks on Amazon into audio adaptations
as well.
Our website carries 20 years of videos, interviews
and PowerPoint presentations. These are accessible by clicking on
the video button above. In addition, Dr. Oliver has a YouTube
Channel, accessible by subscribing, and can be found by searching
for either C.R. Oliver or Cosby Oliver.
If you have any questions, you can contact us at
zadokbookstore@zadokpublications.com. We would love to hear from
you and to hear how Dr. Oliver may have impacted your life or your
ministry.
Thank you for all the years you have prayed, read
the newsletter each month, and donated to Oliver Evangelistic
Association.
With all God's blessings,
Betty Oliver and the OEA/Zadok Publicatiions Board
