The office at Central Presbyterian will have 100 tickets to distribute with the same policy in effect - only 2 to any one person - to give a wide variety of folks a chance to hear Anne. The book, which comes out just before the event, can be pre-ordered by telephone (404-524-0304) or through the website
www.charisbooksandmore.com and held for you at will-call the night of the event. Buy early so you don't have to stand in line that night! All of Anne's books will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of Charis Books.
