Rev. Peter J. Marshall

Family of Christ R Lord I still grieve R loss yet
Pastor Marshall Blessed B Home W His Lord
Gram B Onalaska WI this yrs after

I saw Rev. Peter at Christ for the Nations Institute back in the late `70´s.
I did not know of his dad and mother at that time, but thought, `If any man ever looked like a preacher, this was he!´
Years later, reading his mom and dad´s writings, watching the movie-these things only deepened the respect I had.
Till we all meet again....

In 1966 I was diagnosed with moderately advanced Pulmonary tuberulosis. At some point in the next few years, I think about 4 years later, I read her book 'Christy'. I had already read "A Man Called Peter' when I was in a TB sanitorium in 1966, also pregnant with my son born later in 1966. This book was such an inspiration to me and I gained stronger faith through reading her experience with tuberculosis and how God divinely healed her. Here it is now 2023 and I was just wondering about 'wee Peter', sadly learning that he had passed away several years ago. What a legacy this family has left. I read everything that I could get my hands on that Elizabeth Marshall wrote and enjoyed her contributions to the Guideposts magazine monthly. Just want to say that the legacy that this family has given to it's heirs is unmatcheable. What a blessing they have all been to this world.

I know this is years later... but if any family reads this, know that the Marshall family still continues to be used of our God. Catherine´s books are a fresh read yet again regarding the Holy Spirit! I own many of her books. And her writing style and depth still speaks out! Now to know that "wee Peter" is home with his loved ones!! And to say, my son, Peter , also played young Peter in a school play of A Man Called Peter.. blessings on all of you..

I have belatedly learned about Dr. Marshall's death and am saddened, even at this late date. I have read his books and have gotten tapes of Dr. Peter Marsahll's sermons from his site. The Marshall family have had a great and very positive impact on the faith community in this nation. He will be missed.

Peter's mother,Catherine, had a profound impact in my faith, life at a much needed time. Through her I met Jesus at a much more personal level. My faith deepened greatly. Her writing about her young son, Peter, deeply touched me as a mother. They are a great loss to the Christian world yet their writing is still here. Mary

I saw the movie A Man Call Peter and was very moved. More should see this movie even today as we need to hear what Dr Marshall had to say. I am sadden to hear of his son's death as he too was welcome to all homes.

Peter J. Marshall spent one week at a charismatic church in London, Ontario, of which I was not normally attending, as the guest speaker. This was in 1983. I had just lost my mother, and he had lost his famous mother shortly before. I attended each day, taking in all of his teaching. I still have his tapes of those sermons. He had a profound impact on my life, as did his mother through her books.

I think it says much more about Peter than it does about me that I can honestly say he was my friend. He had great personal warmth and a generous spirit. We did not see each other often, but Peter always expressed genuine interest in what was going on in my life and my family. We ribbed each other about our political differences at the same time we enjoyed our unity in Christ and on what the Lord requires of us.

His teaching and example remain with me, a positive influence on my life that will continue.

Grace, mercy and peace to all who loved him!

Interim Director, Peniel Bible Conference

This morning, while researching the topic of Scottish kilts on YouTube, I came across several posted videos related to "A Man Called Peter." Recalling his son, and wondering where Peter, Jr. was currently ministering, I let my curiosity take me to the online news stories -- and only then did I see about his passing last September! What a jolt to learn this!
In recent years, we have seen the losses of several seemingly irreplaceable "voices for the faith." Some of these stalwarts are: Dr. Kennedy of Coral Ridge Presbyterian; Dr. Adrian Rogers, the Southern Baptist; Dr. Jerry Falwell ...
The Peter Marshall clan and lineage leaves a priceless heritage with the USA. Their faithful testimonies of The Lord Jesus Christ, and their lives of service have lasting ripples. May we thank the Lord that their books, treatises, and public addresses -- through the means of modern media -- can profit future generations of believers. The work of Peter, Jr., and well as his father, Peter, Sr, and wife and mother, Catherine, were undeniable gifts to the Church. As a baby-boomer, coming to Christ at the age of 17,
I so regret that I never personally heard Peter, Jr. In the summer of 1969, through Campus Crusade for Christ, I particpated in a summer beach outreach on Cape Cod. I well remember hearing several other CCC girls enthusiastically recount their experiences at Sunday a.m. services at Peter Marshall's church some miles away. As I had recently read his mother's book "Beyond Ourselves," I recognized who they were speaking of. However, circumstances never lined up for me to make the trip myself to hear Peter, Jr., and I've always regretted that.
I do hope that, five months out from Rev. Marshall's death, that the family is, and has been, experiencing our Lord's comfort and peace. I pray for guidance for the decisionmakers as to how they may preserve the Peter Marshall ministry legacy and voice.

This morning on Feb.3,2011 ,I watched for the first time, the movie, A Man Called Peter, and was deeply moved to tears. Even after so many years, it is still a life for today. He has given us a lasting legacy for how to live our lives.. I intend to try to purchase the movie to give to my daughter. God Bess , Harriett Frampton (Scranton Pa.)

I have only seen the movie many times. He has been my heroe since I was a little girl. Reverend Dr. Donia Gonzales-Copeland

I was born on February 13, 1949 shortly following Peter's father's death. My own father was on a return from WWII active Navy duty, and while in DC, had heard Peter Marshall preach in the 1st Avenue Presbyterian Church there, and decided to name me after him. I am told I remained un-named for 10 days while my mother and father awaited Catherine Marshall's permission to name me Peter Marshall Schoon.

A very unusual thing happened to me on the day Catherine Marshall passed away...for the first and only time in my life, I had an irresistable urge to reach Catherine Marshall, tracked down the phone # for the LeSourd residence somewhere in Florida, I think, and tried to call.

Anyway, I am proud to carry a bit of the Marshall's legacy in the way of being a namesake, and admire them all tremendously. -Peter in Minneapolis

I just watched the movie biography of your grandfather, Dr.Peter Marshall and wanted to find out what happened to Catherine and Peter John. I am happy to know that they are all together again in their own room in their father's house. Blessings to your family. Know that your family's faith journey is still touching and inspiring lives.

I had the privilege of hearing Mr. Marshall speak at my church in Greenfield, MA quite a few years ago. Afterward, my parents and I had lunch with him. He was a very fascinating, interesting man, with a very fascinating family history. I've just heard about his death and am very saddened by it. My prayers will be with his family.

January 3, 2011 - I am deeply sorrowed by Rev.Marhsall's passing. My husband and I had the privilege and pleasure to attend Rev. Marshall's church in East Dennis when we vacationed at the Cape and were always so uplifted by his sermons. He and his Father and Mother have been my spiritual mentors for 40 plus years, through their sermons, books, articles and examples. They were a marevelous family of faith and graced us by opening up their lives to us through their ministries. They demonstrated, despite their difficultlies and trials, how to overcome by stepping out in faith in God's Word. They all so wonderfuly demonstrated and lived their faith and showed us how.

My sincere sympathies to Rev. Marshall's family and friends. God Bless all of you.

Sincerely, Barbara M. Gay, Groton, CT

This is a blow to me, as I was brought to the faith by his father and mother. With Peter's passing, we have lost a great American and Christian family. God bless his children and wife. Bill McKinley (Beaumont, Texas).

I spoke to Peter once. I spoke to
Leonard LeSourd, the second husband
of Catherine, in 1981, for about an hour
in their Leesburg, VA home. God raised
up Peter to help America turn to God!!!
II Chronicles 7:14 "healing for USA"

What a shock to learn of Reverand Peter J. Marshall's death. I was honored to meet him personally and to speak with him about the influence his mother, Catherine Marshall had on my life. As a new Christian I read several of her books on her growth in the faith and of course her story of Christy is a classic. He will be missed as one of the "warriors" of the faith; he has won his reward. Blessings to the family.

I continue to pray for Rev. Marshall's family during this sorrowful time. As I know only too well, having lost my brother last year, grief sometimes doesn't really hit until long after the funeral, after the cards and emails stop coming, after life is supposed to return to normal. In sorting through my brother's personal effects, I found some pictures taken at his 20th high school reunion. One was of his former girlfriend; he had drawn Dr. Spock ears and a mustache on her! I laughed until I cried, and the tears were healing. Our loved ones who have left us are never far away.

I am sadden to at the death of Peter Marshall. It hurts me that I didn't get to see him speak more than the few times I have. I really think he had a sharp sense of humor which made him him fun to listen to but you sure got the point and remembered it. Please keep smileing Peter when I get to heave that one of the first things I want to see. Margie Christian Harmans Maryland

What a legacy the Marshall family has left on this earth. God has worked through them to inspire, teach, comfort and bless people all over the world. The Marshall legacy is sill wondrously alive-and so is Peter Marshall-as he is united with Christ, his dad(Imagine!)and his mother. What a reunion! Their work will continue to bless generations to come. May God comfort and joyously bless Peter's children, grandchildren, siblings and all who loved him-as only He can.
God bless you all!

The Marshall Family remains a inspiration to so many. My heart goes out to your family for your loss. The Legacy lives on...........
God bless you all. -Deb J.

Dr. Marshall was at my church in July in Gray, TN. I so enjoyed hearing his message and talking with him in the lobby about his ministry and about his mother and her novels. My prayers go out to the family. God Bless.

To the family of Rev Peter Marshall. May God comfort you at this time and help you to see the incredible spiritual legacy Peter left on this earth. Peter spoke at our church about 15 years ago and we developed a good friendship from that point on. He was a great historian and man of God and our nation will sorely miss him. His books dramatically shaped my view of American history. Many people were newly introduced to the Kingdom or had their Christian walk strengthened under his ministry. God worked through Peter to profoundly influence a good friend of mine towards a renewed walk with Christ. We are all saddened by his departure, but at the same time are joyous that he is now eternally with God. May God hold you closely during this time of mourning.

Dear Family,
Never would I have expected this as Peter and I are the same age.
I have great sorrow hearing this news and share in your grief.
Peter was such a blessing to Cindy and I. We remember years back at the Community both at the Sunday Mass and on Retreats. Peter would always have that smile for us and a very warm greeting. That has been such a blessing whenever I think of the Community and my fellow minister and friend. Please know that your family remains in our hearts and prayers. Father Paul+ and Cindy Boardman, Summerfield Florida.

My heart goes out to you, dear family of Peter Marshall. Praying that you will be comforted through the coming months with the grace and peace of our Lord. May your memories be sweet and may the light of Jesus that Peter allowed to shine through him bring strength when you hurt. Our Lord is so gracious to give us the Hope of the soon-coming Reunion!

It was a shock to hear of Peter Marshalls passing. As a member of ChristyFest, I had the great pleasure of meeting him with Emmy Hoskins. He gave wonderful presentations of his grandmother and mother that year. I also received his commentaries and admire his courage and dedication to saving America. I am sending a donation in his memory to the Del Rio Elementary School in Tenn. where his grandmother, the real Christy, had connections.
God Bless all your family in your loss.
Mary A Koepke

I continue to be grieved over the loss of Peter. He was one of my best friends. We corresponded often during the past years. I hope his work can continue.

What a blessing he was to so many. His books about America will live in my heart. I also was born in 1940 and my father died in 1948. My mother was so fond of Catherine's writings. She never let me forget about Peter so I was always reading Catherine's books. My name is Mary Elizabeth as is Peter's daughter's name. Catherine prayed for my youngest daughter who suffered with kidney issues as a child. I am so blessed to have had my mother encourage me with Catherine's son and his chosen life path. It has been a great strength and guide for me personally. Mary Elizabeth Beadles Kehoe

It is with great sorrow that we must all take up the mantle that was left behind by such a great soldier in the army of God.
I have read and used Reverend Marshalls writings to encourage others in the faith and in patriotism.
We have lost a great man of God, but heaven has gained a shinning star!

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Peter Marshall. I had the privilege to hear him and even had the chance to have an indepth talk with on the history of our country. I had ordered the revised copy of The Light and the Glory last week and was looking forward to him coming back to the western part of NC to talk about it. Your father has left you a wonderful legacy. Thank you for sharing him.

The Light and the Glory is very real now. We trust that our Lord and God is able to work all things for good.

"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." psalm 116:15

Your Dad's book, the Light and the Glory, changed my world-view. In 1982, I went to China to smuggle Bibles. I had come out of what was beginning to be called "the New Age Movement," and had only known the Lord for a year and a half. Like many, I was a complete ignoramous about American history, and like the other lemmmings of my generation, had bought the "bad America" line preached by various musicians and movie stars at the time.
After we smuggled our Bibles into China, we stayed for another week in a tiny apartment in Hong Kong packed with bunk beds. I had become severely ill,
so while I was recuperating someone handed me The Light and the Glory. It opened my eyes and turned my head around. I have read your Dad's subsequent books, and treasure them. I am also a writer, as well as a singer and guitar player and your Dad's books have enriched my work.
IN 2007 during the Jamestown anniversary hoopla, I emailed your Dad about what I percieved as the silliness surrounding what I thought should have been a solemn assembly of repentance rather than a celebration. He was so gracious and humble to respond a number of times to my thoughts.
My husband and I are closely connected to Billye Brim and Prayer Mountain in the Ozarks, where we help pray in the plan of God for Israel, the nations and the church. In 2008, Billye recieved revelation that it was not the upcoming election, but only another Great Awakening would save America, Israel and the world. She felt led to study history, at which point, I began feeding her copies of certain pages of The Light and the Glory. She began to use your Dad's book as one of her main historical sources. She is often a guest on The Believers' Voice of Victory, with Gloria Copeland, and often quotes from the book, which is now in her bookstore.
I recently emailed your Dad with a suggestion for an 11th commandment:
"Thou shalt read The Light and the Glory once a year!" He graciously and humbly thanked me back.
Your Dad was a pioneer in the turning back of America to God. He sowed seeds back in the 1970's and the harvest is manifesting. Witness Glenn Beck, (!) who named The Light and the Glory as the beginning of his own personal awakening, and who, in a very unique way that only God could orchestrate, (with the shrewd He shows Himself shrewd) seems to be affecting millions to thier own personal awakenings. The LIght and the Glory will continue to be central to this phenomenon.
Jesus said in John 10:10 "The theif cometh not but to steal, kill and destroy." I feel your Dad has been stolen from us, but God will use him where he is now, in His presence, perhaps on a greater level than when he was in his body.

Blessings, Lynn Kellogg Simpers, Omaha, Ar.

Peter came to our church to help our pastor and church family solve problems that were causing division within the body. He was such a blessing as he spoke to the very hearts of the people. Our pastor felt sooo blessed as did we all. Peter had a special gift and calling from the Lord, especially in reconciliation of a church family. One of our young people followed his ministry through the years and became a pastor himself. God has truly gone before Peter through the years and blessed us with his commentaries and wisdom. He is now in a perfect place and we can just imagine Our Father, God saying, "Well done, good and faithful servant!"May the Lord bless his family and loved ones in the days ahead...with Jesus' perfect Love!

To Linda LeSourd Lader and the entire family of Rev. Peter Marshall: my most sincere condolences. These many wonderful messages make clear he was an extraordinary man who touched the lives of so many in profound ways.

I was so sad to hear of the death of Peter Marshall.I have read several of his books and was truly Blessed by his writing Irecieved commmentariesevery week on My email believe me when I say I was Blessed. Even more so I now so blessed to know that Peter thy faith ful servant is with his Lord and Master whom he srved Faithfuly. May god you and yoursand May we who love the Lord go home to be with Him and there will we see Peter again.Dawn MacPherson

I was shocked and saddened to learn yesterday of Peter's death, but my depression quickly turned to joy as I realized that Peter has probably already touched base with my wife Betty, who he led to the Lord back in 1981. Peter is as responsible as any other mortal soul for my own salvation, which followed Betty's by a couple of years. After the Lord called Betty home in 1984, I kept in regular touch with Peter and heard from him most recently last Christmas. His absence will leave a void in my heart, but I rejoice in the prospect of seeing him again in due time.

Peter was a dear family friend for many years, his mother being one of my mother's best friends. I just heard from him a few weeks ago...such a joyful conversation, remembering my family's time with him in 2007. My love and prayers to his entire family....Love, Liz

I went on Peter Marshall's Heritage Tour this summer. It was a wonderful experience. I was impressed how passionate Peter was in sharing America's spiritual history. He was passionate to the end-- a lesson for us all. The Lord really impressed upon me to go on this tour. I'm so glad I did. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. May God raise up others to keep the ministry going. I must be wonderful for him to see the Lord and also to talk to all the great patriots he extolled for so long.

in 1975 I came to Canada and my Ministers wife in England prayed for God to bless us in our new homeland and gave me two books by Catherine Marshall. 'A man called Peter' and 'to live again'. I didn't KNOW the Lord then but in 1978 I asked Jesus into my heart. He has never left me inspite of myself and I am learning more and more to trust in the Lord. My spirit is redeemed by the blood of the lamb but my body isn't(until that day of redemption)so I fail everyday. Through knowing the forgiveness of the Lord (He forgave us first) and the Love of the Lord (He loved us first) I am aware that this world is not my home. Paul says 'to die is gain'. I believe that by receiving a copy of that book 'A man called Peter' was just the beginning of my walk with Christ and I will always be grateful. After 36 years of a verbally abusive marriage the Lord brought me out and has shown me how 'to live again' fully in His truth and freedom (what a healing!!!). I am sad at the passing of Peter junior and I pray that he is present with the Lord. Through Gods Grace are we saved and not by might should any man boast. Bless you all............Tina

I, along with my sister and her husband had the honor of meeting and spending several hours at dinner with Peter Marshall many years ago. As we talked with him I became so impressed with his Christian values, moral integrity and great knowledge on various topics. I have always had the highest respect for him. His newsletters were enlightening and full of insight; he was unique and special and will be very much missed by everyone. Valerie Goforth Stockton, CA

I am very saddened to hear of Rev. Marshall's passing. I was so blessed to read the three books he coauthored. I have always been looking forward to the fourth book. May God grant you comfort.

I only recently learned that I was named after Peter John Marshall, Jr. It seems my mother watched "A Man Called Peter" while she was pregnant, and was touched by the name in the movie. I started watching the movie for the first time last night, and today I learned of his passing.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I am so sad to hear about Rev Marshall's death. In this time of turmoil in America he was a clear voice of reason and advocacy for true understanding of America's heritage. His voice was and is still sorely needed. He will be greatly missed! I hope someone in the family will continue to see that his legacy will live on and that his books continue to be published and distributed.

It is indeed sad and untimely news. I had many interesting emails exchanges with him over the past few years. He will be missed!

I too was shocked and saddened by the news of Rev. Marshall's passing but immediately realized the Lord is welcoming him with "Well done my good and faithful servant". I have lifted his family up in prayer to receive comfort at this time.

W e weep with those who weep at the loss of our brother in Christ, Peter Marshall. His history books greatly blessed us as a homeschool family. Our daughter, Christy, who went to be with Jesus at age five, was named after Rev. Marshall's grandmother, and his mother Catherine's books greatly affected our walk with Christ. May the peace and comfort of our Heavenly Father be with Peter Marshall's family. Patty and Bob Gentala, Tucson,AZ

I was saddened to hear of Peter's death. I was fortunate to meet him 2 years ago and have him share dinner at our home. I feel that I have lost a good friend, but more so, our nation has lost voice of it's heritage.

I offer my sincere condolences to your family. Peter Marshall was a Christian man devoted to spending his life serving our Lord and Savior, not only through his own ministry, but by the life he led. With sadness, he will be greatly missed.
With rejoicing we will meet again.
Emily

I am shocked at the sudden passing of my friend and brother in Christ, Peter Marshall. I greatly admired and appreciated his insite and wisdom which he shared through his weekly email commentary, and he prefaced with scripture taken from Luke 12:56 "Why do you not know how to interpret the present time?" My but was he right on with that poignant biblical admonition. Most of the time, his comments were my thoughts exactly.
I rejoice that he is this day, with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I too look forward to that day when I shall meet Him in the air.
I am praying for you, his dear family, for the Peace that passes all understanding, for Comfort from the great Comforter, and Love from HE who is Love. God Bless You all.

I was shocked to read my email from Peter Marshall Ministries, he was an intelligent and humble man I had the privilege to meet many years ago. God be with his family and give them peace.

I was truly sorry to hear of Peter's passing. I read all of Catherine Marshall's family from the 50s onward, and received Peter's column on a weekly basis. A voice for the founding principles of this nation has surely been lost. Sincerely Bill Morgan, Utah.

My family and I are very saddened at the loss of Peter Marshall, but thank God he is in heaven. We sincerely hope the Civil War book work Rev. Marshall was working on when he died will be continued by David Manuel and, should the Lord provide another, someone else. His ministry has done many wonderful things, and it is our prayer it will continue to do what he was doing, even without him.

Sincerely,

Christopher Schwinger

To all of you, my fond memories and love. Your grandmother, grandfather, your mother and father have all made this world a better place for their contributions throughout their lives. You have much to praise God for in them - and now, the Holy Spirit of God working in you.
My love and prayers to each of you. Alice Watkins-Deffinger, Mansfield.Oh.

We would like to extend our sympathy and prayers to Reverend Marshall's family during this difficult time. We attended his seminar last spring at Jimmy Swaggart Ministries in Baton Rouge, La. and found it to be thoroughly informative and enjoyable as he spoke out of heartfelt love for his Lord Jesus and this country. God bless you.

One of the most influential authors, satisfying my hunger for America’s foundation, Peter was an excavator of historical relevance. His incessant vigor for the treasure and truth of our nation’s founding has kept me glued to his work for years. Many a Thanksgiving meal would have me expounding on The Light and The Glory, much to the chagrin of three children that could repeat the indelible story in their sleep. Peter Marshall was an American hero, one whose legacy will serve to help save this country.

So sorry to hear of your loss. "A Man Called Peter" is my favorite movie and book. Dr. Marshall's sermons are life lifting and comforting. I can read them over and over.

May the Lord Jesus be with you all at the passing of your Dad. My heart goes out ot you all.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathies at this difficult time.

I was deeply shocked to learn of Peter's passing. His books were all important to me. I heard him preach in Atlanta years ago and still recall the first sermon topic. I first starting reading his mother's books as a teenager and came to salvation reading her BEYOND OURSELVES. I have read her other books over & over and have been blessed by them all over the years. I feel that in a small way I "know" the family. May all of you receive special comfort in this time of your loss. Deanna Weston in Dunlap, TN.

God bless your whole family in your loss. I pray your hearts are comforted mightily

I was greatly inspired and influenced by the Reverend's parents and tremendously impressed by Reverend Marshall's life and work. He will be missed. My love and sympathy are extended to his family.

We had the privilege of hearing your Father speak last year at a Tea Party meeting in our high school. He was a powerful and inspirational speaker. He spoke to us of God's intention and plan for our country and how we must have faith and be vigilant. I was so hoping we would be able hear him again. We want you to know that he impacted our lives with strength and hope for the future. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Dennis and Marcia Bartlett, Franklin, Pa.

I was deeply saddened to find out that Rev. Marshall has left us. I rejoice that he is now with the Lord he loved and served. I first had the privilege to hear him several years ago at the Blue Mountain Christian Retreat in New Ringgold PA. Though his teaching and books my eyes were opened to God's plan for this country which I was never aware of as well as the need to deal with self in my daily walk with the Lord Jesus. Rev. Marshall has and will continue to have a tremendous influence on my life. I pray for you as his family that the Lord will comfort you and give you peace as you adjust to life without him.

Peter John and I were great friends from the time we were teenagers. We enjoyed discussing life together and shared our life experiences with each other. My deepest sympathy to his children. George Bergdoll

Dr. Marshall, I was privileged to meet you in the early 80's when you came to Phoenix to speak. You were so inspirational. I loved your books on American history and God's hand on our country. Your dear mother's books have a special place in my personal library. God bless you as you now rest from your labors and enjoy eternity with Jesus.

I was and am shocked to learn of the passing of Peter. After I registered on his website he and I became friends. We e-mailed each other for several years. We were both ardent fans of Boston pro sports teams, especially the Red Sox. He did superb work in relating the historical uniqueness of America and the role this country is called to in the plan of Almighty God. I am sure his parents would be proud of the work he has done. I truly hope someone fills the gap and continues his website. I have lost a wonderful friend. May the comfort of God be ever present with his family.

We were truly saddened to hear that Rev. Marshall had gone on Home. Our lives were greatly impacted by his dedication & faithfulness to our Lord! He challenged us in our faith & to live our lives with purpose. We met him back in the 1990's at Faith Bible Chapel, in Arvada, Colo. He was such a dear & kind man. We loved hearing him bring history alive!
We can only imagine the joy of the reunion he is experiencing with the Lord Jesus & family in Heaven!
Our love & prayers are with his surviving family.

To the family of Peter Marshall. My deepest sympathy's to all of you. Peter Marshall has inspired so many people around our great country. He will be remembered as a Christian Disciple and American Patriot. His books and speeches have kept truth in the forefront of our nations great history.
I only have one regret, and that is that I never met this great man in person. His books helped me to share America's true heritage with teachers and Christians all over the country and especially in Conyers,GA.
Thank you for sharing this great man with us. I pray that God will get you all through this time of sorrow. I pray that God will bless all of you with joy and peace as time passes on.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Peter and I were classmates at Princeton Seminary and remained good friends over these many years. Peter did preaching and teaching missions on several occasions in the First Presbyterian Church, Northumberland, PA. I will greatly miss Peter, but am blessed to know that he is now with the Lord triumphant. I thank the Lord for Peter's full and prosperous ministry in preaching, teaching and writing, May the Lord comfort you. Dick Kellett, Northumberland, PA

I was privileged to hear Peter Marshall speak at Christyfest 2009 in Del Rio, TN. It was wonderful to hear him share his memories of his grandmother (the real Christy). I will always treasure the memories of that one day. May God be the God of all Comfort to your family. Jonna Barrick Marsh, Wattsville, AL

I am saddened today (Friday, September 10, 2010) to learn of the death, this past Wednesday, of the Rev. Peter Marshall. He had a unique ministry, using his knowledge of early American history to illustrate America's Christian heritage and our need to return to our spiritual roots as a nation. He came to my church for a 3-day teaching "mission" in the Summer of 1982. So many things are called life-changing these days that the adjective has become trite. Nevertheless, no one else was saying the things he was saying about Christian growth and maturity. I transcribed those lectures by hand so that I would have them in case something happended to the tape recordings. I often think of the things he said about dying to self, taking up the cross and following Jesus. (Regrettably, probably more thinking than doing!). As a result of his ministry, I went back to graduate school to earn a degree in counseling and practiced part time for several years. I quoted extensively from his lectures in my master's thesis. I also discovered a love of early American history. I subscribed to his "tape of the month club" until it was discontinued and then subscribed to his email commentary. Peter, I will miss you. Who is the Elisha who will take up this Elijah's mantle?

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Rev. Peter Marshall. Please know that your family will be in my prayers during this difficult time.
Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to thy
never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come,
knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we
can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family during this time. I met the Reverand during his 2009 visit to ChristyFest in TN. He came with Miss Emma - who I count as a dear friend. Peter quickly became a friend as well, his graciousness, generousity and caring spirit were evident to all he came in contact with. I am so grateful that I was able to share in a small part of his life.

Please know that he affected the lives of SO many. May the Lord keep you all in his loving embrace through the difficult days ahead.
