Pre-publication orders for 300th anniversary devotional are being taken.

Brethren Press is taking pre-publication orders for a daily devotional commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Brethren movement in 2008, to be titled "Fresh from the Word." Publication date is scheduled for July 1, 2007; the book will offer daily devotions from Jan.1 through Dec. 31, 2008.

The hardback book will feature 366 daily devotions written by members of all the Brethren bodies, including the Church of the Brethren, the Brethren Church, the Old Order German Baptist Brethren, and other Brethren groups. In addition to a short daily devotion, the book will offer a scripture reading and a prayer for each day of the year from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. Devotions will not be linked to the day of the week in 2008, so the book also is suitable for repeated use in following years.

Regular price for the devotional will be $20, plus shipping and handling. Groups or congregations save 40 percent on orders of 10 or more copies before March 15, 2007, with pre-publication price of $12 per copy plus shipping and handling. Individuals who place orders before March 15 receive a pre-publication price of $15 per copy plus shipping and handling. A packet describing the prepublication special will be mailed to congregations in January.

Call Brethren Press at 800-441-3712 to place pre-publication orders of "Fresh from the Word."
