A Sower’s Almanac for every alum!

By virtue of your reading this article, it must be safe to assume you know about Seedbed and the New Room and the new ways our beloved seminary is trying to gather, connect, and resource the global and local church to sow for a great awakening.

Seedbed is a great way to introduce the tradition and treasure of Asbury Theological Seminary to those who do not yet know us. Last year we released our very first edition of the Seedbed Sower’s Almanac and Seed Catalog. You may have seen it. It found its way onto coffee tables, bed stands, and into reading rooms (aka bathrooms) all over the country.

It was so well received that we had no hesitation in doing it again, but with a different spin. This year’s edition is designed to inspire your everyday life, encourage your faith, and share a vision of how we can sow together for a great awakening in the season ahead. It is not a book for professional preachers, but we think preachers will enjoy it. We made this for everyday Christians.

It’s our hope that you have already received your Seedbed Sower’s Almanac and Seed Catalog in the mail. They were sent as a special gift to each and every stateside alum (assuming your address has been updated), and should have arrived in the last few weeks. In the event an Almanac didn’t make it to you, click here for a digital copy.

In these pages you will find inspiring articles, informative essays, short Bible studies for each month of the year, the Bible in Tweets, free marriage counseling, tips and tricks for turning little outlaws into saints (i.e., parenting), and even some tasty recipes for your next potluck. In short, it’s a fun type of field guide for the Christian life you will want to turn to over and over again.

At the root of it all, Seedbed is the seminary’s gift to its students and alumni. In a world where theologically-sound Wesleyan resources are more and more difficult to come by, Seedbed’s mission is to ensure that anyone who lists Asbury Theological Seminary as part of their educational background will never be thirsty for quality content for themselves or their community.

Sow on!

P.S. Because this field guide was designed with families in mind, we’d love for you to share it with all the families you know. To that end, we’ve packaged them up and will cut you an extraordinary deal—100 books for $100. Quantities are limited—when they’re gone, they’re gone. Take us up on the offer at seedbed.com/almanac.
