Book Launch Rocks!!!

First Wesleyan Church officially launched "Walking the Walk: step by step" on Sunday, December 16th after the morning worship service. Almost 40 authors took their places behind tables in the foyer with pen in hand to sign copies. Over 200 books were given out, both pre-ordered and those limited copies purchased that day. Amid balloons, refreshments, and a visit from News 2, the air was filled with excitement.

One author said, "I cannot believe I am actually a published author! I love it!" The book has been very well received and the word about it continues to spread. Check out the links below for video of an interview one of our authors, Debbie Barwick, recently participated in.

Debbie was just contacted by another local station, Fox 8, about doing a follow-up on a story that they did about her son Seth, a few months ago. Seth had a miraculous recovery from an automobile accident over one year ago. When Debbie informed them that his story was actually included in a new anthology, they were very excited to promote the book in the piece as well. Check back here for video of the news story. No time has yet been given on when the interview will happen.

Finally, remember to push everyone you know (forward this blog to your family and friends) to the home page of our church, www.firstwesleyan.org, encouraging them to click on the links about the anthology located on the left-hand side of the homepage. And remember, the book can be ordered now at lulu.com and from ANY book seller. Just ask for it. It will soon be available at Amazon.com and other on-line sites as well.

Thank you for helping us as we share the wonderful truths found within the pages of the anthology. We wish you a merry--and blessed Christmas.

Passionately Pursuing Him
