Brethren Press Lenten devotional booklet is sold out.

The Lenten devotional booklet "Journey to Jerusalem," by Kenneth L. Gibble has proven so popular that all copies have been sold. The booklet, which contains humor, thought-provoking questions, and personal insights from Gibble, "just flew off the shelf," according to Jewel McNary, director of Marketing and Sales for Brethren Press.

The devotional booklet is the third produced by Brethren Press for the seasons of Advent and Lent. It includes daily scriptures, meditations, and prayers for Ash Wednesday through Easter. The next one will be available for Advent 2004. Robin Wentworth Mayer, author and former columnist for Messenger, will write those devotionals.

Brethren Press staff have been "extremely pleased" with the sales of the devotional booklets, although they say they are disappointed that some requests for this one will go unfilled. Production of "Journey to Jerusalem" was based on pre-publication orders. Steps are being taken to provide congregations and individuals with the opportunity to establish a standing order that will ensure their receipt of future devotionals as they become available.
