BRETHREN PRESS OFFERS ADVENT DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET

(Sept. 12, 2008) Elgin, IL -- Brethren Press is publishing an annual
Advent devotional booklet, suitable for congregations to offer to each
family or member during the Advent and Epiphany seasons.

"With Heart and Soul and Voice" is written by Kenneth L. Gibble. The
booklet offers daily devotional readings, scripture texts, and prayers for
Advent through Epiphany.

"The carols and stories we hear during the Christmas season focus our
ears--and hearts--on the timeless message of God's love made known in
Jesus Christ," said a description from Brethren Press. "Ken Gibble
encourages us to listen for this familiar refrain and respond by joining
our own voices in praise and thanksgiving to God."

The devotional costs $2.75 per copy, plus shipping and handling. Orders
placed before Oct. 1 will receive a pre-production price of $1.75 per
copy, plus shipping and handling. Orders received by Oct. 31 will be
shipped by Nov. 7. Call 800-441-3712.
