Judson Press May 2009 Author Update

From Marketing Director Kim Shimer...

Judson Press Holds First Webinar!
We've done it! On April 30, Judson Press hosted its first webinar with Rachel Gilmore, author of The Complete Leader's Guide to Christian Retreats. Despite some technical difficulties in the beginning, I would say the presentation was a resounding success. We had more than 130 people register, and almost half of those actually attended (a good showing). From the time the invitations went out till the day of the webinar, I believe we sold between 20-25 copies of the book. Not too shabby!

Good News -- Church Libraries Review

An excerpt from the review for The Complete Leader's Guide to Christian Retreats:

"Gilmore's thoroughness will allay the concerns of those who've never planned an off-site, large-group event. A priority resource for church leadership, but it's also good for a library. "
