Get The Next Story eBook for Cheap

Articles Collection cover image

The Next StoryIf you want to buy the e-book version of my forthcoming book The Next Story for a good price, here’s how: Pre-order it. Zondervan has put together a rather interesting promotion for the ebook. Here’s the way it works:

  • The list price for the ebook at Amazon is currently $9.99.
  • For every 200 copies pre-ordered, the price will fall by $1.
  • This means that if we hit 1,000 copies sold, the price will fall all the way to $4.99 – half off.
  • It means that if we were to get 5,000 copies pre-ordered, the price would fall to $2.99.

When the book releases on April 1, the price will return to $9.99.

What you need to understand is that Amazon does not actually charge you for the book until the day they deliver it. So if you order it at $9.99 and between now and April 1 the price falls, you will pay the lower price, not the price you pre-ordered it at. Understand? So that’s why if you’re going to buy the book anyway, we’d like you to pre-order it. If you do so, it increases the likelihood that you’ll end up paying less than the list price.

Now, some of your are Nook or iBooks users. Unfortunately we have not been able to work out this detail on those platforms; however, along the way we will see if there is a way for us to match the price.

So…if you’re a Kindle reader and are planning on reading The Next Story, why don’t you go ahead and pre-order. Then we’ll be 1/200th of the way to reducing the price by another $1. If enough people play along, you can get the book at a great discount.

  • The Phrase that Altered My Thinking Forever

    This week the blog is sponsored by P&R Publishing and is written by Ralph Cunnington. Years ago, I stumbled repeatedly on an ancient phrase that altered my thinking forever.  Distinct yet inseparable. The first time I encountered this phrase was while studying the Council of Chalcedon’s description of the two natures of Christ. Soon after,…

    Always Look for the Light

    For many years there was a little potted plant on our kitchen window sill, though I’ve long since forgotten the variety. Year after year that plant would put out a shoot and from the shoot would emerge a single flower. And I observed that no matter how I turned the pot, the flower would respond.…

    God Takes Us Into His Confidence

    Here is another Sunday devotional—a brief thought to orient your heart toward the Lord. God takes the initiative in establishing relationship by reaching out to helpless humanity. He reveals himself to the creatures he has made. But what does it mean for him to provide such revelation of himself? John Calvin began his Institutes by…
