86108-584373-thumbnail.jpgThe book presents the best of the first year of Today at the Mission. It is very much like the blog - a record of an emotional and spiritual journey undertaken in the kitchen of an anonymous homeless shelter that could be anywhere, or everywhere. It's not always 'light' reading but it's every bit as real as it is honest. This book captures a few miles of the journey I've been on, and I hope you'll join me along the way.

Buy the book here: Lulu.com

And yes - every cent of the profit goes to the Mission.

The Best of...

DateDecember 9, 2006

Buy My Book.bmpIt's finally done. Today at the Mission - Year One - is at Lulu.com, but I'm not quite ready to start selling it because I still have a couple of bugs to work out.

In the meantime, I want you to know that every cent of the profit generated on each sale will go to the Mission. I also wanted to let you in on a bit of fun...

I had a very special friend write the introduction to this book... and I'll send a free copy to the first person who correctly guesses who that friend might be.

Care to play along? Contest closes on Tuesday night. And yes, for those of you who live on the other side of the world that's my Tuesday night, thank you very much.

Hint # 1 - It's not a he but she who has two first names, and though both are biblical, both are the same.

HeyJules - Even though Jeff from So I Go Now would have been awesome - it's not him - this time! Guess again!
