| "I have met few individuals with Michael Craven's stellar devotion, character, ardor and knowledge in undertaking the daunting task of standing in the gap of today's cultural conflicts. If our society is to be protected from the cultural Huns presently assaulting it, it will be because the Michael Cravens of that society continue to stand without compromise."
- P. Andrew Sandlin, Pastor
