@:/*#!! Now I’ve got to go find a copy of this book. From reading the first chapter it sounds like I may be loosing it! Thanks for all you do for the body of Christ.

Thanks, Anne. Hope you are enjoying your new ministry.

Txmom, I am so glad you are excited. I pray the book helps.

Benji, Glad to hear people are interested in Vegas. Hope they enjoy reading about your church in it.

Renee, I haven’t heard of any plans for Going All the Way in other languages. Confessions is in several other languages, but I can’t ever remember which. Blessings to you.

I am sooooooo happy that one of your book was translated in French (& all the other languages as well of course)!! That is awesome!! Is there plans for “Going All The Way” & all your other books to be translated as well? I am just so excited that my family will be able to read them!! God is just so awesome. Can wait to get my hands on “It” as well!!

Craig, we sold quite a few copies at Central Christian Church in Las Vegas on the first day on the shelf this weekend. I am going to have to call Zondervan next week and get some more. :) I am looking forward to reading it.

(FYI: Christian Bookstores should have received books Friday or early next week)

I don’t read French, but I’d love to review it in English or even Southern. :)

No wonder it sold out on the first day! I’m hooked after reading that first chapter, and I’ll be fortunate if I’m able to sleep tonight. I find it so exciting that you’ve written about something that’s been on my heart lately. I am a member of a church that is very possibly losing “it.” And I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what’s happened. I would never consider leaving, and I’m not being negative here. I love my church more than I can express here! And I am perplexed at what is going on….did the vision get put on the back burner? Is the leadership overworked and stressed out? Is there not enough change occurring? I’ve even found myself being “lukewarm” about the church recently and it scared the heck out of me. What is going on? I want to feel the fire again! The buzz that was in the air was so contagious it was the only place I wanted to be. I’m buying your book and praying that God reveals some truth about this whole thing. Thank you so much for your ministry Craig. You and your wife are a huge blessing to so many people!

Thanks, Camey.

Hope, Glad to hear the others were helpful to you.

Paul from Canada, “It” is not available yet in the Christian bookstores. According the publishers, it is only available on Amazon and online and Barnes and Noble.

It has gotten to the point that we really do worship at the Amazon altar. They’re mentioned twice by name, but lowly brick-and-mortar store Barnes and Noble only gets a “here” for their link. At least B&N fares better than the tens of thousands of Christian bookstores who carry Zondervan books who don’t get mentioned at all.

My life group studied Chazown and loved it! I’ve passed the free copy of Going All the Way to several friends - what a book! Can’t wait for the next one.

Thanks Craig!

Dusty….loveeeeeee the comment girl! Really sad when you think you are on the verge of IT and are wrong.

Thanks for letting us know IT is available. It will be great to see how prayers for IT were answered.. and how new ones will be prayed.

Thanks, Scott.

Judy, I’ll get you a copy! Unfortunately, I don’t have “it” figured out and explain that in the book. But we have identified a few factors that contribute to “it”.

Dusty, Well said.

Excited to read the new book. I’ve experienced the “it” factor, and I’ve also felt the pains of losing it in ministry….then getting “it” back. The competive nature of who has “it” or doesn’t have “it” is the dangerous part. Focusing on your own “it” - or rather God’s “it” for you is where it’s at.
