Dearest Apples, I'd like to announce A Light Blazes in the Darkness: Advent Devotionals from an Intentional Online Community. It is a collection of daily devotionals written by the members of the RevGalBlogPals ring, of which I am a member (I have one devotional in the book.). The members are mostly female pastors and seminarians. I love these women; they are keeping me sane through the first year of ministry. Anyway, all proceeds to the book are going toward Gulf Coast relief efforts. It is on sale for $9.99 through Nov. 10, after which it will go up to the cover price of $12.99. You can purchase it by going to A Light Blazes and clicking on the link. Real Live Preacher wrote the foreward, and from what I've read it is going to be full of wonderful reflections on the Advent season of peace, joy, hope, and love.

Thank you kindly, and I apologize if this seems like too much of a commercial. I'm excited about the project and wanted to share it with y'all.
