Highway Won October 2010 Update

“I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. The works of the LORD are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them” (Psalm 111:1-2, NKJV).

Hello and welcome to the Fall! Of course with the weather California has had this week it seems much more like the height of summer, nonetheless we have officially crossed the line into the autumn. With the new school year, at our church and at others people are getting back into the routine of renewed Bible studies and small groups that took a summer break. Yet God and His works never take a break, and we should be seeking always to learn more of Him and His ways, of how He works in and through His people, seeking to be one that can gain great pleasure by examining what He does and wants to do. Then we will be able to truly praise Him with a whole, undivided heart and impact the lives of others all the more effectively.

Because of this, we want to help equip you for this task of knowing Him more and getting back to the simple pleasures of good reading and study. We have many great books and Bibles here at Highway Won, many of which people look at and pass by as they enter and exit our doors, but others take a longer look, perhaps passing them up because of cost. This is sad, because we have so many great books and materials to offer, including new or recent releases by favorite authors such as Ted Dekker, Tracie Peterson, Francine Rivers, Greg Laurie, Max Lucado, Charles Swindoll, Joni Eareckson Tada, Francis Chan, Beth Moore, and others, as well as many other books ranging from classics to contemporary issues. We have done our best to maintain our books at as reasonable a cost as possible, even to the point of not raising the prices with the increases each year on many of them. Thus many of our books are still at the original price we obtained them at even if we’ve had them in stock for some time, while elsewhere the cost has gone up. To help you even further, here is what we will be offering over the next couple of months. October will bring with it a special book sale, with all books and study materials 10% off. Rose Publishers’ pamphlets continue on at special pricing already for the rest of 2010 (buy three or more and save), so they are excluded. November is National Bible Month, and we will be having a Bible sale that will most likely extend into December as well. The sale amount is yet to be determined, but it will be a great savings.

Speaking of December, of course that brings around Hospitality Night here in Cambria, this year December 2nd. That is something you don’t want to miss, as it is the official kickoff of the Christmas season here and is always a great night. But for you early birds, don’t worry, we already have boxed Christmas cards for sale here at Highway Won, as well as a few other Christmas items and books, just in case you want to get a head start. Our 2011 Calendars are going fast and we didn’t order as many this year as we did for 2010 since we had so many left over. So come by and pick one out! New this year we have 2011 Daymaker Desk Calendars that are really fun, so come by and see them as well as our Dayspring calendars. Of course we still have some items in the store suitable for the Fall season!

Well, that’s about all for this month. We continue to appreciate your prayers and support for us in these difficult days, and look forward to the next time we get to see you here at Highway Won Christian Store! God bless you!
