Bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins Uses Words To Bring Aide To Haiti
---------------From Jerry B. Jenkins-------------------------
I’m sure you feel as frustrated and helpless as I do over the catastrophe in Haiti.
We want to help in tangible ways and wonder how. As an author, I deal in books, and frankly, books are not what are needed there right now.
So, how can I turn books into an effort for that devastated country?
Here’s an idea:
I’m offering copies of my book, Writing for the Soul, with this guarantee:
Add one penny to the retail price of $24.99 to round it to an even $25. I’ll cover postage and handling out of $5 of that and promise to send the rest, all $20 of it, to one of two Haitian ministries I know and trust. And you can even choose which one.
Further, if it turns out that postage and handling is less than $5 per book, I’ll send the difference too. I will not take a penny from these sales.
I’ll put the details about the book and the two ministries below so you can read about them if you choose to.
Meanwhile, if this resonates with you, either send a check made out to Jerry Jenkins for $25 for each copy to P.O. Box 88288, Black Forest CO 80908, or call my assistant Debbie at (719) 495-5835 with your credit card information. Either by mail or phone, let us know which ministry you want your gift to go to.
Here are the choices:
1. Cross International partners with more than 30 ministries in Haiti, funding schools and clinics to the poorest of the poor. Eighteen schools with 258 teachers minister to 6,000 kids and ensure each gets a meal of beans and rice every day and every teacher receives a meager monthly check.
Many of their schools are in shambles. Many of the kids were living on the edge of a cliff, which crumbled in the earthquake. Cross International will get resources directly to those Haitians they have a relationship with, longtime trusted friends.
2—If you want to help orphans in Haiti, we will send your donation to Orphans First. It will go to two orphanages that Orphans First works with, including one that runs a feeding program.
Details about Writing for the Soul by Jerry B. Jenkins (Writer’s Digest Books):
This is a hardbound book full of writing tips and with lots of anecdotes about the famous people I have been privileged to work with…people like Hank Aaron, Walter Payton, Nolan Ryan, Meadowlark Lemon, Billy Graham, and more.
Whether or not you’re a writer, you probably know someone who would be interested in this title. And if you already have one, why not get one for your church?

Jenkins was chosen by Conversations Book Club as one of its Literary Legends 2009-2010. You can find out more information about him at www.JerryBJenkins.com.
