200 Cases of Free Dick B. History Books - Going...

Going . . .

Get One (or More!) FREE* Case(s) of New Dick B. Books
(* $30.00-per-case for USPS Media Mail Shipping and Handling)

Offer Expires March 31, 2011*
(* or sooner, if supplies are exhausted before then)


FREE* Dick B. Book Distribution Project Update

See our inventory of cases of new Dick B. books in Maui storage as of July 2009 here:

http://mcaf.ee/f6ed4
(You can use a credit or debit card, or PayPal, by clicking on the “Donate” button.)

Over about the last three weeks since we announced our FREE Dick B. book distribution project, we have shipped or distributed about 100 FREE* cases of new Dick B. books, and we have more orders waiting to be shipped. (We had to rent a U-Haul truck over the past two days just to get some of the cases to the U.S. Post Office.)

We have already had one person order 30 cases for distribution through a Christian treatment program. Another person just ordered 27 cases of books—three (3) cases of each of the nine (9) titles available. A third person ordered one case each of all nine of the available titles.

We still have a good number of cases of these four (4) titles: (1) New Light on Alcoholism: God, Sam Shoemaker, and Alcoholics Anonymous; (2) Why Early A.A. Succeeded (Bible study primer); (3) By the Power of God (study groups and content); and (4) Turning Point (comprehensive history).

We only have a few cases left of the other five (5) titles. Order as many cases as you wish—WHILE SUPPLIES LAST—before March 31, 2011.

How Dick B.'s books are being used right now: (1) people give them away at clubs, meetings, churches, rehabs, transitional housing, Vet centers and programs, and hospitals and fellowships; (2) treatment programs distribute them to clients, students, or patients; or use them in classes or libraries or sober living; (3) outreach centers sell them, give them away, and/or have them in their libraries; (4) people give them to counselors and pastoral counselors, the homeless, sponsees, sponsors, friends, family, and stores; (5) individuals and organizations sell or raffle them to fund their Christian recovery outreach; and (6) some people tell us where they would like us to ship one or more cases of books, or they tell us to select the destination (as we know where we could send all of the remaining cases right now), and we ship the books on their behalf.

** Please note: each case has only one title in it. For example, a case of New Light on Alcoholism has 16 copies of New Light on Alcoholism in it. We do not have “mixed cases” available.

*** Please also note: USPS Media Mail usually takes 4-6 weeks to get from Maui to mainland destinations, as shipping by boat and truck (rather than by airmail) is involved.

Again—why are we giving away FREE* cases of new Dick B. (* with the only cost to you involved being $30.00 for USPS Media Mail Shipping and Handling)? Because most Dick B. titles are now available through Print-On-Demand (via www.DickB.com, www.Amazon.com, and www.BarnesAndNoble.com). Consequently, we no longer have to have benefactors help us get 5,000 or more copies of a given title printed, have the cases of books shipped from the printer to us on Maui, and have them warehoused on Maui until they are sold or given away. We would now like to bless you and your Christian recovery outreach by making available our Maui inventory cases of new Dick B. books until all of the cases are gone.

God Bless,

Dick B.
