Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! It's the season of resolutions, and that's not lost on us here in the office. I, for one, resolve
to use dental floss in 2008! (My poor gums need it.)
What are your New Year resolutions? This month we're inviting you to share your resolutions, specifically in terms of how
you plan to engage the Bible in 2008. Find out more below, or read what others are saying.
Enjoy this month's newsletter - lots of great stories below to encourage you as you embark on the New Year!

New Year Resolutions - How Will You Engage the Bible in '08?
Do you sense God inviting you to engage the Bible in 2008? If so, I'd love to hear (and I'm sure others would love to hear) your answers to any of the following questions:
- How do you plan on engaging the Bible in 2008?
- What's your Bible verse for 2008?
- What do you hope to get out of your engagement of the Bible in 2008?
Please share your thoughts with us and read what others are saying.
I look forward to reading your thoughts, hopes, desires!

Ministry Opportunity For You!
It's a New Year with new opportunities, and we may have the perfect ministry opportunity for you.
We're looking for several people to play the role of "Commenter," which involves commenting on stories that are posted.
This is a great opportunity to encourage and affirm people, and also to share your own unique perspectives and experiences.
If you're a natural encourager (if encouraging others brings you life!), this could be a wonderful and fulfilling ministry opportunity for you! (Plus, you'll get to minister
alongside me! But don't let that stop you from inquiring. Ha!)
If you're interested in volunteering or want more info, email me (Andy) apadjen@americanbible.org.
