A LINE FROM DANNY

This week's entry of the Framework Weekly has been delayed due to our server being down and a
reinstallation of Windows 98. Been there done that! Hopefully, we are back on track. I’ve realized
this newsletter has gotten too long when we had to re-enter the data. We at Framework Ministries
promise to keep it shorter.

The field of church growth is forever changing. Some 1300 books on the subject can be found at Amazon.com., “Built By The Owner’s Design” being one of them. Do any of them have all the answers to church growth? Probably not! As with any book, you take what you can use and discard the rest. Yet, do take what you can use. I wrote “Built By The Owner’s Design” with the
idea of making it the most practical book on the market. Only you can be the judge.

This week’s newsletter will feature a variety pack of leadership/church growth articles. Take your time and sample. May you find something that will motivate, stir, inspire, or inform you.

“How Can I Help?”

That’s a question we often hear these days when people see Built By The Owner’s Design. Actually, there are many ways you can be of assistance. Here are a few ideas:

1. Order a copy. (I wish I could give each of you a copy free but financially that is an impossibility.)
2. Tell others that, while you would be delighted if they bought the book, you’re just writing to let them know it exists.
3. Tell your colleagues, your friends, and your church members about this new resource. Talk it up over coffee, during phone conversations, at church meetings, etc.
4. Take a copy with you when you go to meetings. Show it to people and give them this toll free number (1-800-537-1030).
5. Write a letter to the editor or mini-review for church leadership newsletters or magazines to which you subscribe.
6. Go to Amazon.com and write a 5-star review ... if you think that’s deserved, of course.
7. Give the book as a gift to an aspiring pastor, church staff member, or newcomer to church growth.
8. Ask for Built By The Owner’s Design whenever you go into a bookstore. If they don’t have it, suggest they order it. If they do, put it face-out on the shelf (smile). Thanks!
9. Add a link to your Web site (we’re at http://dannyvonkanel.kingdomgrowth.com or
authorsden.com/dannyrvonkanel.)
10. Scan this letter and download it into your email program. Send it to everyone in your address
folder (Reply to all). I presently have 207 email entries. Ask them to forward it to100 people they know. The more scattered throughout the United States the better.
11. Ask your Mission Agency to consider buying enough copies to give to preachers in your parish, district, or
association as a gift. If they are reluctant to do so, contact the preachers in your area and make them aware the book exists.
12. If you know a pastor, church leader, or convention personnel personally that would agree to write a review, contact them and ask them to do so.
13. Consider asking your pastor to host a “Built By The Owner’s Design” Church Growth Conference. Conference schedules are listed at at www.DannyVonKanel.kingdomgrowth.com .

Any help you can do to get the word will be deeply appreciated. We hope you will “seize the moment” and allow God to use you to impact Danny’s future.
