I'm not crazy about self-promotion but... If you're a pastor and are planning out your 2008 year, I want to let you know about something.
I have a book coming out in February called, "I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt." I talk to so many people who become Christians, but then end up disappointed with God because "the Christian life isn't all it's cracked up to be." The only problem is that I think a lot of them have never actually lived the "Christian life." They may have authentically become a Christian, but they haven't lived the life. So how do we really live it? Well, hopefully this book will help people to do just that.
Anyway, we (me, Forefront Church & Baker Publishing) are giving away a six week church series/campaign that goes along with the book. We will offer six sermons, six small group studies, graphics, song suggestions, 13 videos, and other fun creative pieces ... all for free. They'll be on a web site for you to download in the very near future.
You can do this series without the book and it will still work great. But the series goes along perfectly with the book, and I really believe that if you have your people read the book AND you do the series on Sunday mornings - your people will experience tremendous spiritual growth. In fact, I think it will be one of the more powerful things your church will experience.
The series could be used anytime, but two great options would be to use it so that it concludes on Easter, or starts the Sunday after Easter.
So, if you're interested - all the series stuff will be available soon (for free) and the book comes out February 1st (not for free!) (But you can get discounts if you buy cases to sell to your church).
Self-promotion over. (But I can't promise I won't do it again!)

Sounds great! Can't wait for the book and the other materials as well.
Thanks for providing the free stuff!
I've been wondering if/when you'd come out with a book. I'm looking forward to it.
As long as you're talking about books, could you do a post on the top 5 or 10 books that have done the most to shape your thinking about church and evangelism?
Vince,
You ask me to put this on my calendar, but then you don't give me dates. Totally messing with my OCD. Can I count on this this for my February series??
Charles
I guess posting the free material SOON is relative. Hmmmm, what exactly did you mean by soon? Is it like - Jesus is coming back SOON - or might it be earlier than that? Just wondering.
Hey Vinnie,
I'm a freelance writer (www.JulieFerwerda.com) and I got a promo book to read. It's really great and I plan on sharing it with friends. I like your fresh insights in applying scripture. I'm writing a book kind of like that now too about trusting God. Anyhow, like your zany humor too. When will your stuff be available for download?
