From a Bernard with earbuds to a 320 page sealed envelope ready for distribution, Clairvaux Manifesto has come a long way. We’re just polishing the last details of the website before official launch (in a couple of days).

Over the past week, I personally distributed 40 books in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. The manifesto is already in Korea and on it’s way to the UK. Soon it will be in China and Honduras. There are a number of copies already in Ontario and more are already being hand delivered to friends in Newfoundland.

I have 1400 books here in my office ready for shipping to eager readers and a distributor in Ontario has 1600.

On Thursday, I’ll fly to Ontario to spend time with various friends around the province, host conversations and distribute books. From there, I’ll fly on to Montreal, Halifax and St. John’s.

I want to say thanks to all the friends who co-created this book. One friend lent $10,000 to get the book started; another friend lent $1500 when bills needed paying; another built us a super-computer without a price-tag; others gave months of time and energy to edit, design and layout (for little or no immediate payback); another friend graciously offered an amazing PR/Marketing contract; another secured a great print price; another has been building this very website from scratch…. and I’ll see many other friends in various cities and provinces over the next two weeks.

Bottom line: We are called to carry the ark, but we can’t touch it. YHWH is on the move. It’s time to go on the offensive!
