The bookstore at Gateway Church in Dallas sold around 100 copies of Caroline Leaf's new book, The Gift in You (Thomas Nelson), at a special signing. Customers also purchased approximately 50 copies of her previous book Who Switched Off My Brain? Controlling Toxic Thoughts and Emotions.

The signing for the author-a member of the church-was held in the main church lobby, close to the store, and followed a presentation she made in the main sanctuary. "We don't have Wednesday night service, but we have classes in the main sanctuary every Wednesday night. It was a natural fit," said Bobby Williams, director of resource ministries.

The event was promoted with in-store signs, on fliers in bags and in an e-mail to attendees of the church's discipleship classes.
