Can someone explain for me why the following figures for inventory taken from the 990's increase so drastically from year to year?

Is this including fixed and long-term assets? That would make for a boatload of 10 Commandments twice removed books...

If it includes cameras, jibs, furnishings, etc. it is a reasonable amount, IMO. -------------------- Got Peace?

As far as I know, it should be all items held for either resale or giving away. No cameras, etc., unless they sell cameras as a business.

QUOTE(Pickle @ Apr 3 2007, 05:12 PM) [snapback]189830[/snapback] Who is on the cover of it? Did Bob Ellis personally write it? The book I have is a hard copy with a colorful dust jacket. The dust jacket calls it, The 3ABN Story, A Channel of Bessing. It has small pics of two production scenes and a pic of Danny and Linda as they looked when it was written. It is copyrighted in 2002 by Bob Ellis. Published by New Authors Publications, PO Box 10, West Frankfort, IL. 62896. It was originally sold and distributed by Three Angels Broadcasting Network. According to the back dust jacket, "Bob Ellis is an award-winning retired journalist with more than 30 years of newspaper experience. He became interested in 3ABN when his newspaper, The Daily American, assigned him to cover its growth into a worldwide Christian television and radio network...." It was sold from the 3ABN bookstore until recently. I don't know when they stopped carrying it, but I believe it was only a few months ago that I noticed it still being sold on their site and thought to myself.... hmmmm.... that's interesting that they would still carry that when they have erased everything else that mentions Linda. Anyhow.... it is no longer sold or mentioned on the 3abn site. There are a few copies at very low prices available from amazon.com. It doubtless gives some insights into Danny and Linda that may look somewhat different against the background of history since that time than what they did when originally written. The serious student of 3ABN history should surely have one in their library. |

How much was it? Can you scan a copy of the cover? Is it 300 pages? What size are the pages? How thick is it?
