My Book Is Now Available for Pre-Order!

Tim Begs Shamelessly...
As of this very moment, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment (written by yours truly and with a Foreword by John MacArthur) is available for pre-sale through this site. As a bonus I'll be signing all copies purchased in advance. This is the only place you'll be able to order a signed copy.
The book will become available near the end of December and will be shipped to you as soon as I get my hands on it. Because I will be in Chattanooga at the time the book releases, it will ship from there. The publisher's suggested retail price is $16.99 and I'm offering it for a nice round $17 which includes shipping via media mail. I realize the book may eventually be a little bit less expensive at online retailers, but I simply can't sell it as cheaply as they can or I'd be losing money on every sale! Plus, I'm including shipping. So there.
So here's the deal. I'm not the kind to beg, but I'm assuming that quite a few of this site's readers intend to buy the book. If you do, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd consider buying it in advance and buying it through my site. It allows me to offer the book for a price similar to what you'd eventually pay elsewhere, but keeps just a little bit more of the proceeds here at home. And that, as I see it, is a good thing.
You can learn about the book, read the endorsements, and buy it right here.
So here's the part where you go nuts and buy one for yourself and a few for your friends. You know the drill!
Some readers have asked if the book will be available on time for them to give as a Christmas gift. Unfortunately, it will not. However, if you would like to make a gift of it, I can offer you a card you can print and give to your loved one(s). The card will say that you've got the book on-order and that it will arrive (signed by the author!) very shortly after Christmas Day.

Today is my birthday. Will you buy your book for me? Thanks.
Tim,
Can you change the setup of the PayPal screen so we can enter the Quantity? I'd like to order multiple copies, but I would prefer not having to run through PayPal for $17 every time. If it has to be that way, I understand, but if you can change it to be changeable, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Sorry about that! I just fixed it up.
Got my copy just now!

It's alright, it's for a very good cause! :) Tim, I am thrilled to be placing this order...how good God is.
Advertise for your own book on your own website just as much as you like Tim--you've earned it, and we all hope you and your family are blessed by its sale as much as the Lord allows!
I just ordered my copy, YAY!
Very excited bro and can't wait to read it!:)
Already ordered it! Can't wait to get it!
Will order it as soon as our next budget cycle rolls around. : ) Very excited about it.
On a different note, in your "A la Cart" section today, you have linked to the blog of a seminary professor of mine at SWBTS in Houston, Dr. Jim Hamilton. I think that's pretty cool. : )
Ordered mine. Can't wait to read it.
I'd better buy it now before the Canadian dollar gets any stronger...er, before the US dollar gets any weaker...
One for me and one to donate to the SBTS library...
Ordered! Looking forward to it!
Tim, Here are some special instructions for signing my "free for in-laws" copy...
Pat, You stayed by my side through all the peaks and valleys I encountered while writing this book. When I felt my world crumbling in front of me, you were there. When the seas of life tossed me about like a rag doll, you were there. Seems you are always there when bad things happen. And when I reached my goal, I never forgot my inspiration. I never forgot the person that picked me up and carried me in those dark days. Pat, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I can't say it enough. This book is for you man. I love you.Your number one fan, Tim.

Guess what you're getting for Christmas...
I think you just answered my question! God's grace is so amazing! I'll be ordering once I click "submit". Looking forward to growing in discernment...
Way to go! I've written a little plug on my blog. Congratulations and great set of endorsements.
(RayJr's opening comment was out of place, unnecessary and not in the spirit of brotherly affection.)
I've got mine pre-ordered from Amazon already and it has an estimated delivery date of Jan.15 :) I guess mine won't be signed, but I'm hoping you could sign it for me once you're in town for T4G'08!
Though, I must say, I'm tempted to order an autographed copy directly through you as a gift for somebody. If I only can come up with somebody I consider really special to give it to...
Ordered my copy, thanks so much. May God richly bless you.
"(RayJr's opening comment was out of place, unnecessary and not in the spirit of brotherly affection.)"
You're right. My apologies to those concerned for not catching it sooner.
I'm going to wait to read your review of the book before I buy it. Your reviews usually give me all I would remember from a book anyhoo. I also personally lack the discernment to know if I should "let go the dough" for such frivolous spiritual delights...
...just kiddin'. I've already paid your Pal.
GOOOO Tim!!!
Just ordered a pair of 'em, Tim....one for me, one for Christ Chapel.
Thanks for your hard work on behalf of the Church, dear sir.
I better get an industrial-strength indelible authentic signature, and nuthin' chintzy :-)
I wholeheartedly agree with supporting the "mom and pop" shops. I hope many buy from you to help support you and your family. Can't wait for the book---exciting!!**BTW, I am not sure why I have to switch from Safari to Firefox in order to comment on your site. Any ideas?**
I know this is a few days late, but hopefully you're still reading. Is it possible to buy a cook and have it shipped to Northern Ireland? I've got a lot out of reading your site over the last year or so and would love to support you.

I've spoken with my wife, and for the low price of $25,000,000 plus living expenses, you can buy my services as a cook for an indefinite period of time. We'd be thrilled to move to Northern Ireland.
Jonathan - For sure. Just send me an email and I'll get you fixed up...
