It\u2019s getting close to when Christ was actually born! This year, the first visibility of the new moon of the Jewish seventh month will be on October 4. My favorite bookstore is Eighth Day Books <\/a>in Wichita, KS, and you can get a signed copy there. He\u2019s fully stocked and you don\u2019t even need to be in Wichita! Warren will send a copy to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also order directly from me at www.500yearjourney.com<\/a>. My prayer is that you\u2019ll be blessed when you realize God\u2019s perfect timing for the birth of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c500 Year Journey\u201d is also available on Amazon, of course (but it ain\u2019t signed \ud83d\ude42).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
