The hour is nigh (PLUS: Update on Liberty bookstore situation)
It’s been a long time coming…
And tomorrow, The Unlikely Disciple is officially on sale!
(Yes, I know it’s been out in most stores for a few weeks now. I had nothing to do with this, I assure you.)
In order to have maximum impact and boost the sales rankings, I’m asking everyone to order a copy beginning at noon tomorrow.

Let’s make this a bestseller in its first week!

Update on Liberty bookstore situation: A few people have e-mailed asking me where things stand with the Liberty bookstore. The book is still not being stocked in the Liberty bookstore, but Chancellor Falwell has assured me that it will be deliberated upon by a committee of faculty members, who will decide if its content is deemed too offensive to be sold on campus. Let’s hope they make an informed decision.
Also, a few miscellaneous press hits:
- Interview at CampusProgress.org
- Newsday mention
- Look for a book giveaway tomorrow from Matthew Paul Turner (author, “Churched”)!
I’ll be spreading the word and buying a couple copies at noon. Good luck Roose!

Seems to me that they would do better to stock the book. There’s something about a banned book that makes everyone want to read it. But hey, that could work out as a bonus for you!

Oh, the word BONUS is suddenly evil in our culture and subject to being taken back from you. Sorry about that!

The post is scheduled to hit in the morning… I’ll be Twittering about it throughout the day man! Good luck.
And thanks for letting me help you get the word out.
