Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Has the publisher for The Advent Book changed?
A: From 2000-2007, Crossway published The Advent Book. They sold 55,000 copies in three different versions. At the end of 2007 Crossway Books returned the publishing rights to Jack & Kathy Stockman. The Heirloom Edition of The Advent Book was printed in the fall of 2008 by Open Doors. The publishing company’s name symbolizes God’s opening of doors to new experiences and blessings. And of course it’s a perfect fit for a book that has 25 doors to open!
Q: Why an Heirloom Edition?
A: The Advent Book was always intended to be a treasured family tradition and heirloom, used every night during the holidays, year after year. Many parents have already bought copies to put away for their children to use with their own families after they leave home. It is also a popular wedding gift. The new book will be better suited to be a very special family heirloom.
Q: How much does the book cost?
A: The list price is $75. The Stockmans are offering it for $45.00. Prices on other websites/stores will vary according to what they choose to charge.
Q: Is there a discount for large orders from churches and other organizations?
A: Yes. For several years the Stockmans have offered a free book for every six purchased. In addition to continuing that policy, they will offer a discount to retailers, depending on the quantity ordered. Churches and groups are welcome to buy quantities of The Advent Book, then set their own price and use it for fundraising, sell it in the church bookstore, or offer it as a premium for donations. (Terms: Non-returnable / Payment-on-receipt-of-order including cost of shipping)
Q: Will you sign my book?
A: We inscribe the title page of each book ordered on our site with a greeting and our signatures.
Q: How can we support the ministry of The Advent Book?
A: You can connect Jack & Kathy with churches, organizations, stores, etc. which might be interested in the book and/or their presentations. And, of course, prayer is always appreciated!
