"I have always enjoyed leading a Bible study class using Lifeway materials, but recently we had joined a new, very small church and so the book ordering and costs have been my responsibility since the church is so small and does not usually have the funds available to place orders with. I called to see if there was any way that I could get a price break on the shipping since I had a $200 order (MOST distributors will give you a shipping deal on orders over $100) but the answer was simply "no". I have worked in various ministries through out the years, and so far Lifeway is the only ministry with no heart to ever offer deals or price breaks in any way. Doesn't seem like a ministry at all, more like a money machine."
