This morning I received a call from a friend from seminary days who had just found in his local bookstore the 2007 edition of my book, The Minister's Manual. He wanted to know about the book and why he didn't know about it before now. What I shared with him I will also share with you.
The Minister's Manual in an annual edition (published each year since 1928) that includes sermons, illustrations, devotional and Bible study material, worship aids and suggestions for each Sunday of the year, and special sections on thematic and seasonal preaching. I think every preacher, Sunday School teacher, seminarian...you name it...should have a copy. It makes a great gift! You'll find it in many bookstores across the country, especially Christian and/or denominational bookstores, or online at the publisher's website. Go to www.josseybass.com and click on product search, and then type McGlone. It will go to the 2007 and the 2008 volumes. The 2008 volume will not be available until August, but the 2007 is on the shelves. Or you can go to Amazon and do the same thing. I'm thanked my seminary friend for his purchase--as I do you.
I've worked on the manual for twenty years as its indexer and as a frequent contributor of material. My dear friend, teacher and mentor, Dr. James Cox, served as editor for the past twenty plus years. We worked as co-editors for the '07 edition and I have taken on the role of sole editor for the '08 edition. It is a worthy effort.
So much for the advertisement.
Talk later.
