Video Journal: Day 3
Posted by admin | Filed under Video Journals
I’m really not sure what’s up with YouTube right now, but many of our videos have uploaded poorly onto their server, giving a very (VERY) choppy look. I have since tried uploading through GodTube with much greater success. I will still make the videos available on YouTube for those that are subscribed there, but giving you the GodTube links here for all those that YouTube can’t digest.

Greetings all!
I’ve been absolutely swamped upon re-entry into non-Tour life, so the Video Journals have taken a back seat. As of today I have most all of them done, however, I’ve been having a serious upload problem with YouTube since before the tour ended (we had three videos ready to go in San Diego). If you’re one of the addicted ones who has seen “Day 3 - Sacramento” pop up on YouTube like seven times, then you know that it’s only playing at about 2 frames per second (instead of the 15 frames it was edited as). It’s especially frustrating as no one can seem to give me answers. Hopefully we’ll get it resolved soon; if not, I might just try GodTube. Thanks for your patience.

2008 West Coast Tour Completed
Posted by admin | Filed under News, On The Road
By now each of the authors is home (or almost home) and the divine melancholy of post-tour blues is setting in. Oh, believe me, everyone of us is happy to be reunited with family and entering back into routine; I know there is nothing like hearing my kids squeal and leap into my arms. But there has been something shared by all those who went on this tour that can not be bought, that can not be substituted by anything else other than having been there…having experienced it first hand.
Things finished off with much hooting and hollering at Barnes & Noble in San Diego around 4:01pm PT. From there we had a group meal at Islands and reminisced about the week. There was much laughter had by all.
The following few hours were a slew of hugs and even some tears as we all said goodbye, a subtle melancholy falling over everyone. Although each one of us was eager to get back home, it dawned on us that we had done the very thing we all write about: join together on an epic adventure to bring Truth and advance God’s Kingdom. And what a tale it is…
We’ll be working on the remaining few days of Video Journals this week and post them shortly. Between the succession of bad internet connections and little time to edit video, we have been behind on production.
A big thank you to Pam Schwagerl at Tsaba House for her amazing dedication to this tour and putting the schedule together, as well as to Gregg Wooding for his amazing talents in promoting us. And a big shout out to Amanda and Penny who went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to “the miscellaneous” tasks of the tour. We’d also like to thank all of the publishers that we represent who so generously invested into the financial backing and promotion of this tour, as well as our amazing sponsors, RealArmorofGod.com, Hotel Burgess, and Character 4 Kids.
Last, but certainly not least, we must thank all of you who came out and supported us on the road. The fans! Where would we be without you? Books are meant to be read, so if you weren’t reading them, not only would we not have had anyone at our events, but we wouldn’t even be writing. So thank you, thank you, thank you. The countless words of encouragement we received from teens who were inspired, moms who were grateful, dads who were provoked to talk to their sons, children who were awed…these are what we live for. You are why we write. That Christ might live in you, the Hope of Glory.

Video Journal - Day 2 - 10.05.08 - Portland, Oregon
Posted by admin | Filed under On The Road, Video Journals
The authors start off with a rainy, impromptu gathering under a gazebo in Portland and finish with a bang at Medford’s mall. A huge crowd gathered for the signing put on by Evangel Family Bookstore and were treated to, among other things, a reading by Jonathan Rogers and a humorous dual between Christopher Hopper & Wayne Thomas Batson.
(The fun and funky Portuguese/Brazilian music is in honor of Nathan Reimer).
