So when the most recent batch of returns arrived at our door, we did our usual wailing and moaning. Then we scratched our heads and thought, why not do something creative with all these perfectly good books? Rather than putting them back on our shelves, why not turn them right around to support the ministry of some of our finest customers- our churches?!<br \/>\nSo this month, we are making these books available to our church customers for a fraction of the normal retail cost! The way we figure, it\u2019s a win-win situation. You\u2019ll get our books at prices you\u2019d never find on Amazon.com or anywhere else, and we don\u2019t have to restock them in our warehouse, taking up valuable space we\u2019d rather save for our new fall titles!<br \/>\nYou can see the list of available titles at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paracletepress.com\/nstore\/store.php\">Paraclete Press<\/a>. This offer is only available over the phone, so call us toll-free at 1-800-451-5006. We\u2019ve called in some friends to help us staff the phones in anticipation of your calls, and we\u2019re looking forward to hearing from you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turning Lemons into Lemonade, Paraclete Press Announces an Innovative Book Sale Unlike Any Other!
