LifeWay Wins the Prize!
During our date last night, Abby and I stopped by the local LifeWay store to browse books. Look what Abby found. There was a whole stack of Killing Cockroaches.
With that, LifeWay wins the “You’re a Really Cool Bookstore Award” for carrying a sufficient quantity of books so that potential Killing Cockroaches owners don’t have to walk away disappointed.
And, with that, I’m also naming Thom Rainer the first recipient of the “You’re a Really Cool CEO Award” for making it all possible. Thanks Thom!
(By the way, Thom, has there been any sign of Ed Stetzer at the LifeWay offices yet? Any confirmation that he actually works for you? I find it odd that Ed never mentions you when we talk. Very odd…)
Dang, you just had to come in while I wasn’t working. I’m loving the book. Bought my copy the first day we got it in. I’m a member at NewSpring and have seen some of your strategic ideas in full force. Some friends and I are starting a ministry and I would love to be able to sit down with you one day if that would be possible…just to pick your brain and get some ideas to get the ministry off and running.
I saw a stack at the Cokesbury display at the Texas Annual Conference meeting. I had to leave early for a funeral so I didn’t see how the stack fared over time.
Just a thought, but wouldn’t you want to NOT see a big stack of our books… just sitting there… on the shelf… with out a home. I mean maybe it’s just me but I think if they have a stack of them then thats the opposite of what you want.
Maybe they need to display them in the front of the store, then they would deserve an award.
