Act Now! Get a FREE Autographed Copy of Mad Church Disease!
July 21st, 2008 @ 7:00 am
So, we have been trying to figure out a good way to get the community here at FlowerDust.net involved in the Dominican trip this week. I have really enjoyed getting to know the staff here at GO Ministries and learning what they are doing to equip local pastors.
The average Dominican makes $6500/year…so you can guess what the average pastor makes — not a lot! What GO is doing is forming a library for the 44 churches in the area they support.
Here’s the deal.
From 7 am CST Monday to 7 am CST Tuesday, if you purchase any book from the list below, I WILL GIVE YOU A FREE AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF MAD CHURCH DISEASE WHEN IT COMES OUT! Simply purchase the book and leave me a comment letting me know. I will email you to get your info this week.
So, buy a book, or buy fifty (I can only send you one copy of mine either way, but hey, don’t let that stop you!) and get a free autographed copy of Mad Church Disease.
You guys donated over 100 mosquito nets on World Malaria Day…so let’s show some love to some pastors and get them some study material they would never be able to afford otherwise. By the way, the money that comes through the Amazon Associates referrals also will go directly to GO Ministries!
Now ready? Set? GO! Don’t eat out today and instead, buy a book for a pastor!! Their Wish List is below!

Hi, Anne,
I’d love to support this, but I’m not quite sure how it works. Is there an address where we should have the books shipped?

Yesterday I began cleaning out my extensive collection of books praying wishing I could get them in hands that need them. Well here is my answer so I am on board and made a purchase it is on the way.

Thanks for sharing this opportunity to help with us, Anne. I hope the pastors will be greatly blessed by the books. They have a few on the way from me. :)
Chad Payne said,

Wow! Great idea, Anne! I’ll purchase a couple of books. I’ll wait until you post about where to ship the books, and then I’ll place the order.
Will Young said,

Anne -
6 copies of Guia Holman De Interpretacion Biblica are on the way.
Please donate my copy of MCD to the Library as well. I plan on purchasing a copy or 3, and if I want your autograph I’ll drive up to the 615 one weekend and get it. :-)
Also, I have a copy of a previous edition of Encountering the New Testament (not too old though), which is one of the books they have listed on there. Of course mine is in English but I’d be more than happy to send it to them. If you think they might be interested have them e-mail me. (will|at|willyoungband|dot|com)
Thank you for the opportunity.

This is such a great idea! Nuestro Nuevo Testamento: New Testament Survey is on it’s way…
Will Young said,
July 21, 2008 at 9:38 am
All -
If you use the wish list to purchase the books once you go to check out, you’ll have an option on your ‘Ship to’ screen to ship to an address that looks like this:
Attention Jeff Rogers
Louisville, KY
(Full address hidden for privacy.)
Select that address and BADA BING…you’re on your way to changing some Pastors lives.
Hope that helps everyone.
You may have to refresh after you log-in to Amazon for it to show up. I had to anyway.

I sent Mero Cristianismo because I was excited that I could translate that without thinking! Looks like several of the people above did the same thing! :) Also, I hope that Jeff Rogers is indeed who we are supposed to send these to or he’s going to be surprised with lots of great books… in Spanish!
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be involved, even in some small way. Your posts touch my heart for these places and all the God is doing!

C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors so I’m honored to share 3 copies of Mero Cristianismo with those Pastors. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to bless those guys.

I just finished reading ‘Mere Christian’ for the first time, so naturally I had to go with the hispanic version of the book. May God bless your endeavors.

J.I. Packer blew my mind with Knowing God in ingles - here’s to blowing someone else’s mind in espanol? El Mundo del Antigua Testamento esta veniendo. Dios le Bendiga!

Paul Kuzma said,
July 21, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Yikes! I guess Yancey is a bit popular here, so I hope they like his stuff there, because I just sent Jeff another one.
VERY creative idea Anne!

Thanks Paul! Sure enough, I tried in another browser, and the wish list appeared just fine!
Anne - got a book ordered, wish I could have given more, but on my college student budget, I did what I could and I’ll just have to make up the rest in prayers, how’s that? ;-)
I’m so excited how many will be blessed by this opportunity you’ve given us!

Thank you. I am leaving the DR at 5 am tomorrow and will get all this sorted out later this week!

I would love to be involved in encouraging and helping worship leaders in the DR so if you have any info on that let’s talk later….it’s a dream of mine….

I just wanted to let you know I purchased one of the books above…a David Dockery paperback. His name was too close to mine…couldn’t pass it up. It should be there shortly. I just facebook-ed you as well, but I wanted to follow directions!

i just emailed this post to my pastor. we’re sort of a sister church to a group of vineyard churches in colombia. our pastor wanted to take some spanish-language books down to help enrich the pastors there but had a hard time finding good resources locally. your amazon list is uber-helpful. muchas gracias, mi amiga!!!
jan, i read your thought on helping to resource worship leaders. we’re like peas in a pod. :) there are cds and such out there with american or british worship songs translated to spanish. how cool would it be to resource folks to make their own music in their own language to honor God… of course, some of the pastoral stuff is a good place to start for worship leaders, too. but more stuff on songwriting, leading creatives, even practical tools (instruments, gear, etc.), would probably be great… hmm…

Hi Anne-
I sent 2 CS Lewis books and the David Dockery book. David Dockery is a friend and former professor at Union University. He is the president there now. I am sending him an email to let him know about this. Very cool. Thanks for doing this.

This is Jeff from G.O. Ministries. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed having Anne, Crosspoint, and Morgantown serving down in the Dominican Republic for the last week.
My sincere and deep thanks to each of you for going out of your way to make a difference not only in the lives of the pastors in here but in the Kingdom as well. Better, stronger disciples will emerge on account of your efforts!
Peace be with you all!
Jeff

Hi Anne!
I just got 3 of the books that didn’t seem as popular in the comments for the ones people have bought. I would list them, but don’t know what they mean :) I hope you had a great trip! Great idea!
Janel said,
July 23, 2008 at 11:25 am
Okay, I figured it all out. Two more on the way!
