Not sure what to say?

after 4 years of undergrad studies and 4 years of div school at GWU, i can honestly say that dr. goodman was one of my top 3 favourite professors. he constantly inspired, challenged, and encouraged me in life-altering ways, and i am forever grateful. he radiated Jesus in everything he did. and regardless of how involved he was with everything in his own life, he always made time for me and his other students. i am incredibly blessed to have known this true man of God and look forward to...

Dan spoke at our church several times and was always an inspiration.
God takes only the best and he was one of the best. A wonderful speaker and friend. My heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends and the university. He will be sorely missed.

Knew Dan a little over a year. A real highlight of Holy Land tour (May 2007) was becoming acquainted with him. So energetic and intellectually alive. Enjoyed scholarly exchanges with him about Jewish-Christian dialogue then and later. Bless his wife and two sons.

There's not enough room to explain how much Dan Goodman meant to me and my family. Danny, we love you and miss you, and Barbara, Dylan, Daniel and all the family, we are praying for you in this time of loss and celebration of his life.

Danny was the high school classmate I most wanted to be like; he was kind and gentle to the popular and the not-so-popular. I have told my children of his life and family, and how God's Spirit is redeeming the world through men like him. For Barb and the boys the Martin family prays "Lord have mercy".

Last weekly message to Calvary Baptist Asheville from Dr Goodman.
You have encourage me more than you will ever know!



Well, this is it. I can’t tell you how much I’ve appreciated the

week—as someone with greater confidence as a writer than as a
speaker, I’ve considered these columns to be both more
important and more effective than most of what I’ve said to you
on Sundays. Like sermons, some of...

My brother, Danny, was the only boy in our family. We made such a fuss over him.
One time, we went looking for salamanders back "the dirt road", but all we happened to run into was a copperhead snake. We were down the bank where we weren't allowed to be. We never went down the bank again!!!
I, like my sisters, was truly blessed to have a brother like Danny. He was always the clown and would cheer up anyone.
I will miss my little brother immensely, but I know he is in Heaven...

You will be GREATLY missed, but we will never forget you. Our family gatherings will never be the same without you,but you will always be in our hearts!!

I will never forget Prof. Goodman. It was an honor and privilege to sit under his teaching at PBA. I was forced to grow spiritually and academically. He was so full of energy and zeal. Everyone who knew him loved him- he will be missed by many.
