A LINE FROM DANNY

Promoting a NEW book is challenging. Add a full-time church position and work on a second book, and time becomes a premium. Because of such time retraints, this issue will feature three of my favorite church growth writers: Dr. Gary L. McIntosh, Josh Hunt, and Alvin L. Reid, instead of my own writings.

Take your time and sample this issue of the Framework Weekly. May you find something that will motivate, stir, inspire, or inform you.

********************************************************6TH MONTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

CSS Publishing, Framework Ministries, Danny Von Kanel, and the Framework Weekly invite you to celebrate with us on June 2nd, 2003, the 6th Month Anniversary of the release of “Built By The Owner’s Design”.

CSS Publishing says, “While the publisher does not release figures for each title, CSS Publishing Director of Marketing & Sales, Jonathon Smith, confirms that the sales of the book are running significantly ahead of plan at this early point in its life.”

For now, we would like to ask you to set aside this date. Your emails, letters, telephone calls, and/or visits to Danny on that day will be a great encouragement to him and the ongoing success of this work. Look for more on this celebration in coming weeks.

A PERSONAL WORD TO SUBSCRIBERS FROM DANNY: “I truly value your support of this ministry and pray God has blessed you through the “Framework Weekly”. For this celebration, I truly need your impute and support. My request of you in coming days will be limited in nature
but could dramatically alter the landscape of the impact ”Built By The Owner’s Design” has on churches across the country. For now, just pray for God’s direction on whatever your part will be in this celebration.” Danny R. Von Kanel
