Steve Carr posted this remembrance of our former editor Sam E. Stone at his website on Tuesday, the day after Sam died at age 84. We are sharing it here with Steve’s permission.
Sam E. Stone shares some thoughts on ministry at Steve Carr’s class at Cincinnati Bible Seminary in 2016.

But he wasn’t actually my mentor.
My wife and I were truly blessed to get to know Sam and Gwen Stone. Through Kelly’s work at Standard Publishing and my job at Cincinnati Christian University, our paths continually crossed with the couple. They had been married for over 50 years, raised an amazing family, and devoted their entire lives to the kingdom of God. They were two of the humblest representatives of Christ I’ve ever met.
