We're getting close! I have received the advance copy of both soft and hard cover books and they look great. I gave the "all clear" sign to the publisher and they are rolling the presses as we speak (uh, write and read). I hope to have my order of 300 books in hand within a couple of weeks, give or take. You can order them directly from me and I'll personalize them postpaid ($20 & $27.50) or you can get them from barnesandnoble.com or from amazon.com. This has been an act of faith. Let's see how it turns out! I'll also keep you posted on how the new website is coming along soon.

"Journeys" will be available very soon as I mentioned in the previous post. You can order it direct from us postpaid for $20 in paperback, or for $27.50 in hard cover. Just send an email to: marvinwray@sbcglobal.net. I am also in the process of setting up a website at: marvinwray.com. In the meantime I will be posting more often again here and keep you informed as to the actual arrival and availability. A lot of this is very new to me, so I appreciate your patience.

An interesting side note: I just made contact with Renee Martin, the wife of John Martin. John was one of the pastors I met with at the Arizona Campmeeting. He was the pastor at the Holbrook Mission Church. Unfortunately John died of a heart attach at campmeeting the following year. I have his picture in the book and I wanted to make sure that was OK with his wife. She was so delighted and told me that she and John had followed the journey right here. I assured her that a signed copy would be on it's way to her soon. Please keep Renee in your prayers as she continues on her journey.

Here's the copy of the hardcover edition. I am supposed to have the advance copies of paperback and hardcover within the next day or two. Then I have to check them through for any copy errors and we can move on to final printing. It will be a race to see if I have them before Christmas. Likely it will be in early January and then begins the fun of trying to get the word out, sign copies, and send them out. This has been a long, but fascinating journey for sure. I just pray that it will prove to be a blessing to many. Thanks for riding along!
