Courage

Posted by Dr John King on 27 Aug 2006 | Tagged as: Manhood |

Champions are men in whom courage has become visible. It takes courage to face reality, admit need, change, make decisions, and hold convictions.

Courage ventures from the path and leads the way. It dares to be different and as a result, expands the circle of human experience.
The bears, lions and Goliath’s of life will never retreat of their own accord. They must be faced. Fear says run. Courage stops and fights.

Huge Catalogue Push for It’s A Guy Thing

Posted by Dr John King on 25 Aug 2006 | Tagged as: Guy Thing Book |

Destiny Image have asked me if I would like them to do a special catalogue featuring It’s a Guy ThingThey will give me the front cover for a full write up on the book and about how the men’s ministry torch was passed to Beccy and I by Dr Ed Cole’s board.

They will also give me an inside front cover and two more pages to promote all of the resources available to men that we have at International Men’s Network.

This mail out will go out to their 60 000 people mailing list and then to the people on our mailing list. Initially about 10 000 and then another 50 000 and then the final 90 000. That is a mailing out to some 310 000 people!

If you combine this with the big push in Family Christian Bookstores - what a launch! It has been incredible watching this event unfold, week after week.

Now you all need to buy books next week from the imn store. If you buy it in the month of September I will personally sign them and even personalize them if you want to give them as a gift to someone!

So drop by the online store.

Contract Signed with Destiny Image Publishing

Posted by Dr John King on 06 Aug 2006 | Tagged as: Guy Thing Book |

In the last couple of months I have been talking with Destiny Image about my book It’s a Guy Thing.We exchanged a contract for worldwide distribution a couple of months ago.

I haven’t mentioned it because… well… sometimes what is said and done are two different things.

But today I was at the corporate offices and met with the team.

I saw the new artwork in a flyer going out to bookstores all over the nation.

So it is on….

I will get you a copy of the cover as soon as it comes in. I will keep you informed as to what is coming up with the launch over the next couple of months.
