We just uploaded the new episode of X3TV. You can check it out on the site, on itunes or on XXXchurch.tv. The episode talks about the Jesus Loves You project. You can find out more about the book, the tour and the videos at www.jesuslovesyou.net. The best place to buy the book is on AMAZON. We start the tour this Sunday in Topeka, Kansas with the folks from Westborro Baptist Church. Lots of stuff planned for the tour. I have posted all the tour information below. Really excited about this and the responce we have seen so far.
Some authors do a blog tour, some do a speaking tour, some do
absolutely nothing and still sell a ton of book. For my last book
Starving Jesus, we did a 40 day tour across the country in an RV while
fasting. What will we do this time? Taking place from August
30th-November 1st the tour will include six stops across the country:
August 30, 2009 – Topeka, KS
