~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Hope Chest friends,
I just realized it's been about three months since
I sent out descriptions of the books and tapes I carry,
so here goes!
As a little extra bonus, the first four people who order will
receive a FREE copy of the book Pray for Our Nation:
Scriptural Prayers to Revive our Country. This book is a
wonderful compilation of prayers, quotes and
Scriptures, and is so timely just now.
There's also a NEW book in stock! I have three copies of
Nancy Campbell's study manual The Family Meal Table and
Hospitality available at $18 a copy. One of the copies has a
slightly damaged cover, and I am selling it for $16, first come
first served.
If you are planning to order, please drop me an e-mail first
(mailto:[email protected]) so that I can be sure to have
your resources in stock quickly! I have most of the listed
Cindy Rushton books on hand already, but will be
re-ordering the ones I don't have within a week. Let me know
what you want!
Ordering instructions are at the bottom of this message.
I do take PayPal if you want to pay by credit or debit card!
Blessings,
Virginia Knowles
