Good News from "Life Cycle"

Two pieces of good news on the Life Cycle of a Christian front:  The official notification of my copyright came in the mail from the U.S. Copyright office; AND The Cokesbury store in Cranberry (actually Mars, PA), faxed me to request 4 copies of the book to put into their stock!  The book seems a lot more "official" now with those two developments.  If you haven't had the opportunity to get a copy, and you live in Cranberry/Mars, Cokesbury will have them available starting Monday!  If you are living somewhere far from western, PA and you'd like a copy, contact me at CMarsh1957@aol.com, and I'll be glad to see that you get one!

Book Signing in Saxonburg Tonight!

Thanks to Chuck and Kay Matus of C. Matus Co. in Saxonburg, I'll be at their store on Main Street in Saxonburg this evening from 6:00 p.m. until an hour after the Saxonburg Christmas Parade (which starts at 7:00 p.m) ends!  Chuck and Kay are such blessings in my life, and they told me a couple of weeks ago that the idea had come to them while they were praying for me.  It's great to have folks in the congregation at New Life who are praying for me every day!  As a pastor, knowing that people are lifting me up in prayer every day is such a source of strength.  Anyway, if you're going to be in town for the parade, stop on by C. Matus Co. and say, "Hi!"

Life Cycle of a Christian--is Out!

The first 139 copies of Life Cycle of a Christian were printed and put into book form yesterday, and as the old Shake 'n Bake commercials used to say, "...and I helped!"  The only way to get the first copies completed on Friday was for Emmy and meto join the staff of the Eagle Printery for some collating, and then we got to go to the bindery and watch as they were "perfect bound" and cut.  The first printing of Life Cycle is 1,000 copies.  Here's a synopsis:

Why do some followers of Jesus mature rapidly in Him, while others don't seem to grow or mature at all?  In Life Cycle of a Christian, Chris Marshall not only answers that question, but provides biblical guidelines for believers who want to accelerate their own growth.  Whether you use Life Cycleas a personal study guide, in a home group setting, or a Bible study class, you will learn and grow deeper in your life as a Christian.....This step-by-step approach to growth doesn't provide "ten easy methods." It does provide time tested principles and practices he has sought to live in his own life for nearly four decades, and which he has been passing on to others during his quarter of a century in pastoral ministry. Life Cycle is a must read for those who are serious about putting Jesus first in their lives, and becoming more like Him each day.

Life Cycle costs $12.00 (US) and you can get your copy by posting a comment to this post with your name and mailing information.  Bulk order discounts are available.
