Only 12 days left of the pre-publication sale for Night Shift! The proofs are already at the printer's - actually the cover pdf is due by the end of today. And it still looks like we are on target for the first run to come off the press by November 15.
I really want everyone I know to take advantage of this offer: Any order processed online by (or if by mail, postmarked by) that date, November 15, Fanno Creek Press will honor with free shipping and handling as long as the shipping address is to anywhere in the USA. You can even order 2, 3 or 10 copies - as others have done - for gifts to family, friends and coworkers.
Orders on this first run will be accepted after November 15 to anywhere in the world that the various mail services can get to. And I'll still autograph books. However, by then shipping and handling fees will be extra.
I am personally guaranteeing that all orders made by November 15 will be shipped direct from the printer no later than December 1, though in all likelihood I am told they will be able to ship before Thanksgiving. The best way to guarantee a copy of the book in time for Christmas gifts is to make your order by November 15.
I am not sure my "John Hancock" is all that valuable, but you never know :) An autographed first run copy of this book might be worth something to your grandkids' grandkids!
Seriously, I am hoping this book will become a staple in every campus ministry group, every Christian college, in every church, in every missional team, and every pastors' network. I have lived this message for the past three decades and tooling it out in manuscript form has made me even more convinced that these ancient and timeless principles are the very ones the Spirit wants to equip us with for the rest of the 21st Century.
People keep asking me what my next book will be. At this point, I have no idea, though I have several projects stewing on the back burner (it's a big back burner). One of those back burner items that I keep wrestling with is what we as believers need to understand about the future, say, a hundred years from now. I'm not sure whether I'll be around, but as developments are going, I fully anticipate my children and their children will be. Some dismiss such speculation as useless because Jesus is coming back. Yet many an old-timer has told me, expect him back at any moment while you plan as if that return is still a lifetime away. Some of those very same old-timers were saying this a hundred years ago - and I am glad they didn't waste the opportunity to plan for a future for the likes of you and me.
Don't forget that only a decade ago, much of the human race was having a hard time imagining life in the 21st Century. Well, here we are and we're moving through it very fast. So I think it important to take some time and ponder what life for our children and grandchildren will be like in the 22nd Century.
What I do know with absolute certainty more than anything else is that Jesus Christ is Lord and he is Lord of the future as well as the past and present. And I also know that he has a message to communicate through us both now and one hundred years from now. That is the message I write about in Night Shift: Crossing the Cultural Line for the Kingdom. So hurry and order your copy today - only 32,929 days more shopping days left until the 22nd Century!
