“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 Director of Missions to consider buying enough copies to give to preachers in your association as a gift. If he is reluctant to do so, contact the preachers in your association 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.

Consider asking your pastor to host a “Built By The Owner’s Design” Church Growth Conference. Conference schedules are listed at my web site 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.

*********************************************************COMING NEXT WEEK: LATEST REVIEWS

Don’t miss next weeks newsletter because you will see the latest reviews of “Built By The Owner’s Design”. Framework Ministries has been amazed at how Danny’s book has crossed denominational lines across the USA. One in particular to look for is one by Doug Beachem,
