Sorry This Is So Late

This is our first BodyLife since February and I know it seems like we’re getting lazy around here, but we have found that the blog and podcast at The God Journey (thegodjourney.com) are the best way to get information out. We may discontinue mailing this flyer in the near future due to its costs and inefficiency in this Internet age.

Don't Forget...

As the Christmas season approaches, don’t forget that our books and CDs can make excellent gifts for family and friends.

This, You've Got to Read If You Haven't Already

If you have not read The Shack, you’re missing what I think is one of the best books that’s been written in the last 40 years. It is fiction, but it is one of the most creative explorations of God’s love and intimate care in the midst of unspeakable tragedies. Religious publishers turned this book down initially, so Windblown Media was birthed to bring this wonderful book into print. It is now available at Amazon.com and discriminating bookstores. We also have them here if you want to add them to a Lifestream order. There’s also a rumor circulating that The Shack will also be available in a special hardback edition for holiday season gift-giving.

He Loves Me Released in New Edition

We are also excited to announce the publication of the second edition of He Loves Me: Learning to Live in the Father’s Affection. With a new cover that has better appeal to masculine readers and some significant edits throughout, we are pleased to give this book new life. I’ve often said this “the most significant book I’ll ever write” and added a new Introduction and a new final chapter, “Living Loved”, to help those who have been captured by the message of the book, but still have trouble knowing how to live in the reality of Father’s love in their daily lives. If you’ve never read it before, or want the relive it again as you bathe yourself in Father’s affection we have them available at Lifestream for $12.00 each.

The Naked Church to Go Out of Print

We only have 83 copies left as of this writing and we do not have plans to republish it unless there is a resurgence of demand. The book is available for free download on our website as a PDF file, but if you want a hard copy, you may want to order one soon. What I most wants to say about the church is now in the Jake Colsen book, So You Don’t Want to Go to Church Anymore. and in a new book I am currently writing entitled, Finding Church.

Jake Goes German

Also, the Jake book has been published in Germany by Glory World and the publisher there has told us it has already become his best seller. You can also order the English version there.

Canadian Hunger

What’s up with Canada? Sara and I spent 10 days in Ontario in July, and I will be going to Alberta for a week in September and then spend another 10 days in British Columbia. There is a lot of hunger and a lot of people looking for a more authentic and liberating faith among our neighbors to the north.

On a personal note

Sara and I are excited about re-grandparenting as our daughter is expecting another girl in November. ❧ That’s it for this issue. May God lead you on in him!

Free Video Download on the Father's Affection

We recently posted a video presentation, Sharing The Father’s Affection, which is Wayne sharing some off the most important material he teaches around the world. You may view it on-line at any time. Many have asked if we’re going to offer it the full quality teaching on DVD and we’re in the process of getting those produced now. We will let you know through the website when those become available.

Jake Book - Audio Version

The Jake Colsen book, So You Don’t Want to Go To Church Anymore is now available as an audio book. Wayne read this book onto 5 CDs that are available for $20.00 plus shipping. This book has also been translated into Russian and will soon be available in French and German as well. It was downloaded almost 5600 times from our website last year. We also sold out our first edition of the book in nine months and had to order a second printing. Quantity discounts are available for those who want to share this work with others..

New God Journey Disc Available

We are just completing our second year of The God Journey and have been amazed at the lives that have been touched by these weekly podcasts. Last year we had nearly 37,000 unique visitors to the website and had podcasts downloaded in more than a hundred countries world wide. Our second CD of the God Journey archives with our shows from the last year is now available for $12.00 plus shipping and handling.

Transitions

Our new CD series, Transitions: Moving from Religious Thinking to Relational Living, was recorded in June and has been downloaded more than 1000 times from our website and we get heaps of email from people who have been deeply touched by it. To make it available at the widest possible level we will put the mp3 files on our website for free download. If you prefer CDs, however, you can order the 8 CD set for $30.00.

Connections

We are often asked if we know people in various parts of the country who are also seeking fellowship with people committed to relational Christianity. We have begun a web page to facilitate any connections God might want to make with people through this page. We will list people's email address by state for those who request us to do so. Please use discretion in making contacts, since we don't always know personally the people who ask to be listed.
