Love in Action – Sales so far

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 11:16:28 +0000

Our primary objective in creating Love in Action was to document a story of hope in the midst of poverty, and to demonstrate a model community partnership and mutual transformation through the example of Manly-Manado.

Our second goal was to raise money for Manly-Manado, so the book could also directly benefit the people of Manado.

To date we have shipped 670 books. Of those books, we have given over 200 books to Compassion as a gift. Every book that they sell will be money raised that will help them continue to do the good work they do. Approx. 60 books remain in stock with our sales partners around Australia.

There are less than 300 copies of Love in Action left in stock. We do not plan to print a second run.

The 300 remaining books will raise $12,000 for Manly-Manado. 100% of the sales of these 300 copies will be given to Manly-Mando and to support the community partnership and help the people of Manado.

Will you help move the remaining copies of Love in Action that we have on hand? We would love to find a good home for them. Perhaps you have a friend or relative who has a birthday coming up? Maybe you’re a business owner and would like to help share some good news with your business partners?

Love in Action is available today from Humphreys Newsagents, Koorong, The Bible Society and directly from Manly-Manado.

Thank you for your support.

The first copies of Love in Action have arrived!

Over the past 18 months at times I would imagine what it would be like the day the first copies of Love in Action arrive. All sorts of emotions would come to mind. Happiness, relief, surprise and excitement. Last night I rushed to Strategic Minds’ office to collect the small parcel containing the first 10 copies of Love in Action that had been air freighted to Australia. The remaining units will arrive in a couple of weeks – just in time for the launch on Friday 31 July.

The books were so well packed that it took some effort to get them out, but the effort was well worth the wait. The smell is something that hit me first. The freshly dried inks from the press. Then came the emotions. Joy and relief. The many hours of proof reading, of retouching to get the look we were after, of researching other book styles for ideas, of early mornings to make it on location to capture the various shots – all effort rewarded. The book looks fantastic. I can’t wait for you to see it, so here is a sneak peek. See you on Friday 31 July.

Love in Action has been a journey that started in 2006 when I first visited Manado together with a group of friends from Manly. It was during this insight trip that I started to question how I was going to help the people that I met. It struck me that the efforts of the generous people in Manly really worked and I wanted to somehow capture this story. This is where the adventure started.

It is now May 2009 and we are waiting for the first production of books to be shipped. I heard today that the proofs would arrive tomorrow. Another awesome step along this adventure.
