Did you know that it's been nearly two years since you received an email from us in this format? That's a good long time! We've experienced a whole lot in that span, as I'm sure have you.

And such is life: the experience. There are moments of good, moments of bad (sometimes really bad), and everywhere in between.

Well, while life marches forward, some things do remain constant. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God never changes. That's a promise worth holding on to. And while our understanding of him may change as he reveals more of himself to us, and as we grow in our trust of him, one thing we can rely on is that He does not change.

As I write this to you, I hope that you are experiencing that. Sometimes I find it hard to experience the truth I know. There are days, weeks, long years of life piled upon you... but there he is, right there with you. One thing that I hope our music does—and the stories in my books, and even our in-person events, on stage and off the stage—is remind you of this faithfulness, this trustworthiness. The songs do not posess life, or hope, or encouragement, but they do focus us on the One who is all of that—and more.

We're approaching Thanksgiving... and Christmas... and probably the busiest time of the year for most of us reading this. Be sure to take time to thank him—even for the stuff you don't really feel thankful for—and to remember to give, just like he did. And like he does.

If you haven't listened to a CD of ours lately, or you haven't read any of the three books, or visited the blog or pulled us up on Spotify... please do so. I hope you will be encouraged, as I said above. And if you are...

Would you consider taking part in our year-long event, The Great |basic| Disc Run of 2013! by purchasing a few CDs as Christmas presents? The price is $5/CD, and that includes shipping. You can't even download our music for that! We have a good many CDs here in stock, and we'd so love for them to be out, being used—by people, and by the God who loves them.

All you have to do is use this email (see the sidebar to the left?) to order whichever albums you'd like. Or you can visit the slightly more elaborte page we created for this purpose:

basicmm.com/CDs

There's a Facebook "Like" button on that page. Share it with your friends. Or just past the URL into your "status" on Facebook, or Twitter.

You'll be helping us... and I hope, you'll be helping someone else. Someone that you care about.

Please consider purchasing as many as you can. And if you can not, maybe just spread the word. (And if you'd like some discs but can't pay for them right now, let us know. Just reply to this email.)

By signing up for the email you already have said that you have in some way been positively impacted by our music, books, or some other piece of our lives. That's great. Thanks for your support over many years now. If you are able to jump in on the "Great Disc Run", too, that would be an additional great.

Grace and Peace to you in abundance.
(From the One who is the Giver of those things.)

Greg & Jen Campbell

PS: As I said, this is definitely something worth sharing! So if you think of someone who might be encouraged/uplifted/challenged by any of our books/music, please pass along the enews link so they can read this email, too: http://basicmm.com/enews

Thanks so much. And we'd love to hear from you! If you have a story to share that is somehow connected to a song or album or story or book of ours, please email it to us. It's always great to hear what God is doing!
