An investigative journalist, Fred Popke, went undercover this past year in an effort to expose our secret backsliding tactics. Unbeknownst to us, he attended many of the same churches our members frequent, overheard many of our casual conversations and copiously jotted down our shared strategies and recommended 'gameplans' for continuing our backsliding lifestyles. He assembled them all together and has now come out with a book, My Utmost for Mediocrity - the Backslider's Daily Devotional.

He is offering our secrets for sale to the general public! If that isn't bad enough, in his book, he claims that all of the authors wished to remain 'anonymous' and therefore he has not given any of us credit for these insights and strategies! We have not yet succeeded in being able to stop his book sales; however, after arbitration he has agreed to publish additional volumes of his work, giving each one that contributes the proper credit. He has also consented to sharing in the revenues/profits of those book sales.

So, if you wish to add an insight to the next book, you can find out how to do that here. It's not a big deal. Write a quick one-page 'devotional'. Have people buy the book with YOUR story in it and make some serious coin. Let's turn this thing around!
