No, we’re not building an ark, but we are waiting for the phone to ring. In an attempt to get spread the word about What He Said, last week we worked with a book publicity firm to send out a press release to almost 3,000 relevant media people. We envisioned our voicemail system filling up and overflowing email inboxes. So far, that has not been the case.
Now the publicity firm tells us that the best response will come from our following up with all these contacts. Truly, the world will not beat a path to your door.

While What He Said has received some great early attention over at Amazon, we’ve been waiting for our first “official” feedback. Yesterday, it came from Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, environmentalist, author, educator, and active participant in the Methodist Church. Here’s what he had to say about the book:
“What He Said is very well done and very useful. The Gospels are so deeply radical that we tend to encrust them in all kinds of tradition to avoid having to deal with those very deep commands to love your God and your neighbor. This reminds us powerfully of the centrality of that countercultural message.”

Since the mid-90s when it first opened its virtual doors for business, I have done the vast majority of my shopping (personal and for others) at Amazon.com. The prices are great, the shipping is fast, and the customer service has been extremely solid.
Which makes seeing What He Said now available at Amazon so incredibly cool! And, if you throw in that CD you’ve been meaning to pick up, you can get free shipping to boot. You can purchase our book by clicking here.
Once you get your copy and have spent some time getting acquainted, we’d be grateful if you left a user review. Many thanks!

To get the word out, we plan to send a bunch of review copies of the book to prominent, relevant figures. I ordered the books and then realized I needed boxes to send them in. I found some perfect book mailers online and they just arrived today.
Kind of a weird coincidence that the package is in the shape of a cross, no?

After several years of discussions, dozens of design mockups, and lots of fine-tuning, What He Said is now a reality. It’s been a long, incredibly interesting journey—and the best is yet to come. As of right now, our work shifts from design and production to getting the word out and connecting people with this new, simpler, and more direct path to the words of Christ. We’re looking forward to this leg of the trip…
You can buy a copy of the book in our e-store.

Our first proof copy of the book, while exhilarating to finally hold in your hands and flip through its pages, revealed a constraint in the printing process that we needed to address. The second proof copy saved us from making a boo-boo that would have haunted our sleep for eons. The third proof, happily, was clean! We should be ready to go very soon…
