We have heard your cry, and have received a shipment of the 2016 edition of the Gracepoint Ministries Mini-Hymnals. The hymnals will be available at DL later on this week (where DT and curriculum are stored), as well as in the book store at HB.
No snazzy yellow cover this time, which might make you sad or happy, depending on your style.
At Gracepoint Berkeley church, Bibliopolis U has started a reading revolution indeed. A lot of our Praxis brothers and sisters came to the book fair this past Sunday, and more than a couple of people remarked, “These remind me of Scholastic Book Fairs from elementary school!” Everyone is super motivated to win their free book, many even kept asking, “Are you sure? This is too good to be true! Do I have to write a book report?”
Some asked me how I was able to get all of these books for such good prices. Unfortunately, I don’t know of a secret place to buy brand new books on the cheap. Church is actually subsidizing the cost of the books because we’re that excited to encourage you all to read — isn’t that awesome?
For some exciting news, we had our first two college students who read 4 books redeem their bookmarks for their free 5th book. Jennifer and Matt are both seniors in Berkeley Koinonia (represent!).
Jennifer chose The Good Life by Charles Colson for her free book! Is it just me, or does Frances looks even happier than Jennifer? 🙂
Matt chose the Good Book, which is, after all, the best book!
Were you at the book fair this past Sunday? What have you started to read?
Luke from Gracepoint Santa Barbara church, regaled his mom, Dora, with a loud and clear reading of this alphabet book. So of course she caught the experience on video so that you all can say, “awww” and then be inspired to pick up a book yourself, too! You see, we’re all about fostering love of reading for *everyone* here, whether you’re 2, or 22. Or 42. 🙂
