Put It in Your Pocket

In the current issue of the 3.1.6 Journal, SoulPerSuit is featured in miniature.
Teeny.
Tiny.
Abbreviated.
Pocket-sized, if you will.
They say good things come in small packages, right?


Pocket SoulPerSuit is a one passage, one page interaction with the Scriptures. Much like a full-length SoulPerSuit, Pocket SoulPerSuit uses a passage of the Bible (in this case, nine verses from the book of Mark) and a handful of thought-provoking questions to allow you to explore yourself, your Lord, and your creative medium of choice: All against the backdrop of Scripture.

This is a wonderful spiritual "bridge" for the Holidays. Most Bible Studies and adult Sunday Schools don't reconvene until January. Many of us are eyeing 2008 as the year we want to delve deeper into the Scriptures. The next full-length SoulPerSuit session is a few months away. So here's your opportunity to take a spiritual step forward and bridge the gap between 2007 and 2008. Try the Pocket SoulPerSuit.

Click below to order your 3.1.6. subscription and get your hands on the Pocket SPS. You can choose either a paper copy or a pdf. file.

(And of course, it always thrills us to see what you create, so send me your Pocket SPS results at soulpererin at yahoo dot com, and I'll post a pocket-sized gallery here on SoulPerBlog to showcase your creations.)

Free Giveaway

We're gearing up to do another online Bible study group, this time going through the Book of Esther. Anyone anywhere in the world who can type in English is invited to join. (Scroll down for the link.)

In celebration of our 3.1.6 journal article and in anticipation of the new cybergroup, I'm giving away two free books from my Coffee Cup Bible study series, Solomon Latte (Song of Songs) and Espresso with Esther. Both books go to one lucky winner.

You could spent about twenty-five bucks buying/shipping them, or you could enter to get them free. All you have to do is leave a comment, and we'll throw your name into the hat for a drawing to be held Tuesday. Your name goes into the hat once per comment ("count me in" is good enough), but we'll throw it in twice if you include in your post your favorite artsy web site or blog.

Published! Party!

3•1•6 Journal coming June 25

SoulperSuit is very proud to announce that they will be featured in the new publication, 3•1•6: A Journal of Christian Thinking, a venture by Founding Editor, Bill Dowis. His mission statement for 3•1•6 is:

"To provide provocative Christian writing and artwork that ignites thought, discussion and a deeper understanding of the Christian faith."

Dowis wants to fill a niche in the periodical genre and "create something that will cause people to think." The Journal plans on doing this through ficiton, non-fiction, art and poetry entries. Did you catch that? He plans to do it through creativity!

Until June 17 you can order the first issue at a discount. You can also find a promotional poster ready to print off and hang at your local art/coffee hang out. Help get the word out! Order lots of copies! Post about it on your blogs.

In recognition of the event we have several exciting things planned:

• We will do the Esther study (posted on our web page) starting July 25’07.
• Leading up to that study we will be giving away several goodies.

So be sure to check back here often and spread the word.
