NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) - Built in 1907, LifeWay Ridgecrest Conference Center prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2007. From humble beginnings in a log cabin near Asheville, N.C., Ridgecrest has grown into one of the largest Christian conference centers in the United States.

To help tell the Ridgecrest story, LifeWay is seeking testimonials from people whose lives have been touched at the conference center for a book to be published by Broadman & Holman, LifeWay's trade book division. The commemorative book will trace the conference center's heritage from its beginning to the present, highlighting in words and pictures the way generations have had their lives changed at Ridgecrest.

Stories and photos may be sent via email to Ridgecrest100@lifeway.com. Be sure to include your name, address and phone number.

For regular postal mail, send your story and a photocopy of your picture to LifeWay Corporate Communications, Attn: Ridgecrest 100 One LifeWay Plaza, Nashville, TN 37234-0192

If your picture is selected to appear in the book, a representative from Broadman & Holman will contact you to make arrangements to borrow and return the original photo.

Individuals whose stories and/or photos are selected for publication also will receive a complimentary copy of the Ridgecrest book.
