Missional Press, the publisher of JOURNEYS (see below), has informed us that we are beyond the 500 mark in sales as of today, not including orders through Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. We also learned yesterday afternoon that LifeWay has decided to stock JOURNEYS in their stores nationwide! That was very exciting news for Todd and me. We are hopeful that Family Christian Stores will pick it up as well in the next few weeks.
Interestingly, in all this good news we have a need that no new orders be placed online until Tuesday, March 4. Here is the reason: The first edition had a couple of typeset mistakes that have been fixed and the updated edition is almost ready to go with the printer. However, the printer is contractually obligated to fill all orders within a 48 hour period so our update has not been substituted since orders have continued to come in at a steady pace. We need for no online orders to be placed until Tuesday to allow the printer to make the substitution necessary, so that retailers and online orders can all begin getting the updated edition.
We are grateful beyond words for everyone who has already purchased this book and are hopeful for many more orders. Thanks for your patience in this our first endeavor and we trust that whether you already have it, are waiting for it to arrive or are still contemplating a purchase you will be blessed in your life and ministry.

Thanks for an awesome read. Got it yesterday and couldn’t put it down. Read the whole book. God has started a movement among churches that no longer are relevant to their community. Thanks again for putting down in black and white honest, real, painful and blessed experiences. Several of your experiences were déjà vu to me.
“The vision that moved both of us was to transition our churches to e biblically faithful bodies that connect culturally, influence locally and extend globally.” (Page 11, first print)
As a side; because I got a first print of the first edition, with mistakes that I must have overlooked, does this mean that I have a collector’s item?

Thanks, Bart.
re: a valuable first edition. The first printing first edition of “Cold Mountain” had a single typo on a page early in the book. That book is worth some cash. After it became a best seller. After it was made into a movie with a hick sounding Renee Zellweger and nekkid people.
Don’t hold your breath. But thanks for reading it anyway ;^)

My copy came today, so I guess that means I have one of the “Collector’s” editions ;). Now just to figure out when and how to get it autographed.
