“The RoseBouquet”

Well, that booklet for Western Tract Mission I was telling you about last week got done, and I sent it off to the professional layout designer. We are now waiting to see what the cover and general “look” of the booklet will be.

An odd thing happened on the Wednesday morning though. I had given it the working title of “There is …Peace” but we needed to meet as a committee and choose the final name. Three of us voted for that name, but one person had another suggestion. As we discussed it and bounced more ideas around, we ended up adjusting this other suggestion and in the end agreeing to go with “Inner Peace Factor.”

We had another surprise late in the afternoon when the man from the printing house came over to talk to us about an idea to help us save some money. He suggested a different size altogether. With that we could save about $2000 on our total printing bill. Well, two men on our committee said right away, that wouldn’t work for us. But as we asked more questions and tried to understand how their presses worked, another suggestion came out of that. Turns out that turning our booklet in the landscape rather than portrait format, we can save even more money. Hallelujah, now we could afford to ask for 100,000 copies to be printed. A number that had been our ideal goal if enough funds came in.

Recently I finished updating all the book reviews in my Sharing Library on this site, Book Reviews. While I was doing that I was also copying the direct links to those same books at Christianbook.com and at Amazon. My goal was to create sort of a quick catalogue with direct links for those who might want to go looking for the books I had reviewed. I have just managed to finish one such page for the Christian Fiction books that can be found at ChristianBook.com and another one for the non-fiction books. I’ve linked to them from the index for the book reviews, but here’s direct links if you want to go see;
Christian Fiction
Non-fiction Christian Books.

I hope to do similar pages with the Amazon links.
