Statement
of Purpose
Our purpose is to ensure that the educational material authored by JG Bennett
be continuously available to all who wish to learn from it.
IN
OCTOBER 2002, four former students of JG Bennett established
this fund to ensure that the wisdom and experience
that Mr. Bennett was able to convey in his writings would
not be lost to time. The fund will be used exclusively to
keep the many books and tapes authored by Mr. Bennett available
to those who wish to study this material. Donations to the
fund can be sent to the address below or made online at the Bennett Books storefront. Currently we are simply
a group of like-minded individuals with a keen desire to support
a common aim. If sufficient need arises and the funds are
available, we will consider forming a non-profit organization
to further the aims of the fund.

Fundraising Letter
January 1, 2009
Dear Friends of the JG Bennett Literary Legacy,
John Bennett left a legacy of selfless giving and unrelenting inquiry into the mystery and meaning of life. He was a seeker, a risk-taker, and an opener-of-the-way for others. His works and life reveal nothing less than one who gave all to discover what is.
We have a concern for the future of JG Bennett’s literary legacy and are working to keep it available; and with this letter we are asking for contributions to a permanent self-renewing fund dedicated to this end.
Fund Description
A separate deposit account tracks all donations and withdrawals. The fund is used exclusively for production and printing costs for new and out-of-print JG Bennett titles. (See below.) Before March 31, for all books financed by the fund that were sold during the previous year, an amount equal to the printing cost for those books is returned to the fund. In this way, donations are continuously replenishing the JG Bennett Publishing Fund.
Titles reprinted/published with Fund
--in 2004 The First Liberation—Theme Talks 1-5
--in 2005 Transformation; The First Liberation—Theme Talks 1-5, 2nd edition

--in 2007 Sex and Spiritual Development; Talks on Beelzebub's Tales; Enneagram Studies; Witness-The Story of a Search
