Dug Down Deep Contest Idea Winners
Thanks to everyone who submitted ideas for how to get the word out on my new book, Dug Down Deep. I said I'd pick a winner, but I got so many good suggestions that I went with my top 5. Here they are:
Matt Hall: A photo editing contest where people have to photoshop your book into a picture and post it either on their blog, facebook, or twitter. (Angelina Jolie or Whistler's Mother contemplating your book...)Thanks for the ideas, guys. Each of you will be mailed an advance copy of the book. We'll start doing a few of these and other contests in the coming months. Also, stay tuned for an announcement about our short-film contest.Ryan Corbean: Give a copy to various bookstores and allow them to give it away as some kind of reward. Like someone who purchases another one of your other books.
Mike Hunsberger: Have people tweet practical ways they have "dug down deep" and implemented sound doctrine in their own lives. Post the winners on your blog.
Robyn Drake: Ask people to include the hashtag #dugdowndeep in their tweets and then randomly choose one person each day for a week who does this. Their tweet doesn't have to have anything to do with the book but it would create interest.
Nate Palmer: In keeping with the title, how about a promotion to see who can snap a picture of themselves with the sign "How deep are you?" in "deep" places like a hole, a basement, a cave. You could hand out prizes for most unique, deepest, funniest, and so on.

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
