Lisa is Attending Christian Retail Show

Lisa leaves for Flordia in a couple of weeks for the International Christian Retail Show in Orlando. First she will be attending a Christian writers women’s group annual retreat. She will also be mentoring for CLASServices for the two sessions of Book Proposal Blitz. The plan is that her parents will drive from Oregon to San Diego 7/7 and 7/8. Then 7/10 Lisa and her mom will go to Florida. Lisa’s husband will have to be working overtime a lot so Lisa’s dad will hang out with Josh. Pray for all of them!

With Lisa’s rheumatoid arthritis and her mom’s diabetes they aren’t the best of travelers and Josh has loads of energy to keep “Papa” on his toes! Lisa will be signing books, meeting with media, talking with publishers, etc. It’s a time of networking and gaining new relationships.

Tell your local Christian bookstores buyer that Lisa/Rest Ministries will be at ICRS

ICRS stands for International Christian Retail Show and it will be held July 13-17, 2008 in Orlando, FL. We have some of our books with a distributor so any bookstore (from Berean to Borders) can order them through Ingram.

Most Christian bookstore owners spend a lot of time doing ministry–talking to people about their circumstances and trying to find the right books to meet the needs of the person or the one the customer is shopping for. They know there is a need for books that address chronic illness, but they don’t know we exist. We had a lot of happy bookstore owners last year when they found out about Rest Ministries!

I will be signing books at booths 1428 (Christian Small Publishers Association) and likely 2127 (Christian Leaders Authors Speakers Services). Times will be posted at the Rest Publishers web site as soon as I know them. If the boosktore owner pre-registers for ICRS they will likely get a postcard from me before the event too!

And if they aren’t going? No big deal! We’d be happy to send them information about our books and marketing materials for National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week.

Thanks in advance!
