Lucado, Thomas Nelson, CBA, The Salvation Army Partner in ‘Give Hope Where It Counts’ Campaign
Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado is partnering with his publisher Thomas Nelson and The Salvation Army and CBA, the Association for Christian Retail, to reach one million broken hearts with the message of his book You’ll Get Through This: Hope and Help for Your Turbulent Times (September 10, 2013). Through the “Give Hope Where It Counts” campaign, Christian retailers are selling a special Salvation Army edition of You’ll Get Through This.
Thomas Nelson is producing the mass-market paperback edition of You’ll Get Through This exclusively for The Salvation Army to provide to individuals in crisis. The $5 special edition will include an introductory letter plus a 16-page insert featuring stories of people who have made it through difficult times with the help of The Salvation Army.
Max Lucado will also be the featured speaker for a Salvation Army event on September 11, 2013. Billed as You’ll Get Through This: A Night of Hope and Remembrance, it will be held at the Centennial Memorial Temple in New York City. Invitations will be offered to those directly affected by the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Sandy and other tragedies.
This live event is expected to have more than 1500 attendees and will feature a performance by the Salvation Army Greater New York Youth Band and Chorus. With the help of in:cast events, this special night will be simulcast to local churches and small groups throughout the U.S. and via The Salvation Army network to its many corps.
