Why not promote something people truly need in their daily lives -- the love of God? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are probably more than a million church signs and marquees in the United States, each offering an unparalleled chance to promote the kingdom of Christ. Yet passersby are often greeted with muddled and ungrammatical messages. \u003ci\u003eThe Proverbial Marquee\u003c\/i\u003e is the cure for what ails many church marquees today. It's a complete collection of proven proverbs and original wisdom, all especially suited to signage. And it couldn't be more practical: \u003cbr\u003e - Maxims are categorized for easy reference\u003cbr\u003e - Each message is formatted line by line for easy drive-by reading\u003cbr\u003e - Line lengths are calculated to fall well within the average church sign's width\u003cbr\u003e - Best of all, a convenient letter count is provided \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo while this book may have started out as atonement for their advertising sins, Rabb and Davies discovered that \u003ci\u003eThe Proverbial Marquee\u003c\/i\u003e became a labor of love that was too gratifying (not to mention too much fun) to count as penance. But isn't that how a wise Father often works? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA proverbial plethora of inspiration! What a great idea: a portable book of drive-by encouragement. I found it impossible to put down once I started reading. A great gift and super resource.
