Hi Everyone,

A few days ago, Georgia Herod, our New Song assistant editor, flew in to visit me and other friends in northern Utah.  She had a wonderful suggestion — that she and I meet the printer and see the setup as the book is being produced.

So I called about doing that and this morning, we met with Jim Haskett of Watkins Printing, just outside of Logan, Utah.  He said because the coverstock was heavier than the original press machine could handle, they moved the entire project to the offset press (see photos below).  This will give us a more professional look but has not added to the costs!

Allowing for the Thanksgiving holiday, the forecasted release will be around Tuesday, November 29th.  He will verify this with me as time goes on. When complete, he will be delivering all the copies to me and I will then take them to our church bookstore.  As soon as those books are available at the bookstore, you will all be hearing from me!  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Here’s how the book has been advertised by some of you.  Thanks so much for all you are doing to get the word out!

• One of our writers sent a copy of the cover and the preview copy (attached below) to people in his address book and several responded, sending me an email to order a one or more copies.

• Others with web and blogsites have added these same attachments to their sites to inform their friends.

• Those with writers’ groups have already ordered copies for their book tables.

• Those who go on the road for speaking engagements have also made their orders.

More later,

Diane

If you would like to use these items, please add this splash from our website:  Following the example of the psalmist in Psalm 40, the writers for this collection have remembered their histories with God, describing His rescue, their salvation, His comfort in a time of crisis, or leading when they needed a new direction.  They hope that their collective hymn of praise will be an encouragement to you.
