Imagine the possibilities

Imagine this scene. You go to work with a book on Prayer in your hand—something to read if you get some extra time during lunch.

A co-worker sees it on the desk and ask about it.

“That is a book we are studying at church. It is a New York Times best seller.”

Do you think he is interested?

People like books.

People like New York Times best sellers.

If a group of us would cooperate we could get any book on the New York Times best seller list.

When Auxano Press released Pray Like It Matters, we got just a few churches to promote I on the same Sunday. We dropped the price of the Kindle version to .99. We asked the pastors to stand in the pulpit and say, “Get out your cell phones. I want to invite you to buy a great new book on prayer. It will change your life. You will also be helping to get a book on Christian Prayer to the top of the best seller list.”

We got Pray Like It Matters to be the #1 best seller in the Prayer category on Amazon, beating out catholic books and New Age books. It stayed there for weeks.

Imagine the possibilities.

A book on Practical Christian Living, based on the book of James and written by Johnny Hunt is coming this fall. I’d like to ask you to help us get a book on Practical Christian Living to the top of best seller list. I think that would glorify God and expand his Kingdom.

If you have an idea for group life, I’d love to share it. Send it to me at josh@joshhunt.com
