Finding Grace
Sunday morning found the Atkinson family visiting a church for the first time. We chose an older Episcopal church in our city that is well known for having a high and traditional worship service. Before going we checked their website and found that there was a Bible study for middle and high school students as well as a couple of study options for adults. We got there early to attend the Bible studies before worship.
When we arrived, we found the youth room empty and the lights turned out. We were told that the church doesn’t have youth Bible study on Sundays during the summer. I was a little put out that the website had not made this clear. Church insiders would know, of course, but visitors have no way of knowing...
I’m proud to announce that Turtles All The Way Down came out in November of 2009. This was my first experience with the Consafo model of social media community publishing.
2000 copies were printed. We sold well over 500 as advance purchases or in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This paid for the printing costs completely.
