The Born Again Yesterday blog will be undergoing maintenance tonight. I’m switching from WordPress hosting to self-hosting. Wish me luck.
I hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving. I certainly did. Among other things, my girlfriend met my family for the first time. They like her. She likes them. Whew!
In more blog-relevant news, the two-Sunday run of Born Again Yesterday closed to a sold-out crowd at Tulsa’s Nightingale Theater. Extra seating had to be found, even! Pretty cool. (And now the eBook is ready. It’s hilarious, touching and uplifting. You can get it here.)
I had non-religious people tell me they thought the show was awesome. I had religious people tell me they really liked it and wanted their religious friends to see it. A few people came back a second time to see the show. One in particular came to the first show, then made a point of returning from an out-of-state trip to bring friends from his church to see the play the second weekend.
When an atheist can write a play about religion that religious people find uplifting and challenging in a positive way without selling out his own atheist perspective, I think something good has happened. I feel totally justified in being proud of this bad boy!
WOO-HOOOOO!!!!!
My buddies at Tiroma Films did a three-camera shoot that night. We’ll have an audiobook (as in: the live audio from that performance) and a DVD ready by the end of the month.
Right now, however, I’m thrilled to say the eBook is live and can be purchased through eJunkie right now. This is my first time using eJunkie, but I’ve heard great things. I’m actually more nervous about letting my baby out there into the world without me than I am about the eBook process. I mean, I’ve been working on this thing for six years AND it’s my own personal story of a crisis of faith. I’m a little protective.
So the eBook is $9.99, comes in pdf so you can read it on your computer or your eBook reader, Kindle, what-have-you. Click right here and you can have your hands on one of the first copies sold. (This will be huge for the bragging rights when I and my show are famous.)
Here’s the link again. Thanks and I’ll see you later in the week!
Last night I opened my two Sunday run of Born Again Yesterday to great response. There were lots of avid churchgoers and several non-religious people. All of them really liked the message and got into the play. Seems I’m building bridges. Cool.
I’ll have more about this after the next performance, plus in the next couple of weeks there will be new video from the show as well.
Hope ya’ll are doing well.
Have fun!
