Book signings and bat giveaways at the SBC

Communications Staff — June 20, 2009

Have you ever wanted to get inside the head of the author of your favorite book? Have you ever asked yourself, “Why didn’t they say this?” or “What do they mean by that?”

At the Southern Seminary booth at the Southern Baptist Convention, you can get your questions answered during three Q&A opportunities.

And you might just win an official Louisville Slugger bat in the process.

The Q&A sessions will begin at 11:10 a.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with the bat giveaways taking place at 11 a.m. each day. A book signing will follow each Q&A session with the authors who are there that day.

Additionally, the Albert Mohler Program radio show will be hosted live at the SBTS booth at 5 p.m., Monday and Tuesday. We will giveaway two more bats at 4:45 p.m., 15 minutes before the show begins.
