Print Version of Guy's Guide to Debut at Next Conference
by Ted Slater on 05/19/2009 at 2:00 PM
There's a lot to like about the conference formerly known as New Attitude, now going by the short, Twitter-friendly moniker Next. Engaging speakers who'll be right there, in the flesh: Joshua Harris, D.A. Carson, Kevin DeYoung, C.J. Mahaney, Sinclair Ferguson. Some great bands (who've been featured on our podcast) to facilitate worship. Boundless contributors Carolyn McCulley and Tim Sweetman and Ricky Alcantar and Bob Kauflin and maybe Stephen Altrogge and maybe others will be there. There'll be time to chill with old friends, and new ones. And who can forget the famous Baltimore clam chowder? Not me.
But perhaps most exciting is this: Boundless will be there. OK, it's just my wife and me sitting at a folding table alongside a few other ministries in the ad hoc bookstore. But what's really exciting is that we'll have 500 copies of our new Guy's Guide to Marrying Well mini-book.
Yeah. Not just a virtual PDF or Flash file. The real deal with real paper held together with perfect binding. Yeah, that's sweet.
We'll also have some info on how you can pick up additional copies, as well as on our forthcoming Girl's Guide to Marrying Well. Or maybe I'll just have a sign-up sheet on which you can write your name and e-mail address and I'll get you the info once we get it.
If you're going to be at Next this weekend, please stop by, say hi and pick up a copy. I'm planning to take and share some video from the conference, so if you want to be famous, that's another reason to stop by. I don't think we'll have any chocolate this year, so don't stop by for that.
Check out the video below of us opening a box of mini-books:

Cool. I will have to stop by.
I like how you say, "the conference formerly known as New Attitude." I have to do that with "Tangle" as well: "The website formerly known as GodTube."

Nice video addition. We are playing with new media where I work as well. I think you probably know where that is... check out the link for the video underneath the first featured story on our homepage. :)
