As a fan of Ted Dekker's Circle Trilogy, I was excited to see a Forest Guard challenge for those who want to spread the word about his latest release Green.
Rewards
BECOME A LIEUTENANT OR CAPTAIN IN THE FOREST GUARD: Every Forest Guard will have the opportunity to earn the level of Lieutenant or Captain in the Forest Guard.
HOW TO BECOME A LIEUTENANT: You must receive 600 points including 5 recruits. (You get 100 points for every recruit.)

HOW TO RECEIVE THE FOREST GUARD GRAND PRIZES : In order to qualify for the Grand Prize, Runner-Up prize, 3rd place and 4th place prizes, you must have at least 50 recruits. Prizes will then go to the hardest working person who has done the best job and has the most points.

6. Report back: Reports aren’t as intimidating as they sound…it takes about a minute to send in a report and a couple of clicks. Don’t worry…this isn’t like school. But we can’t reward you and give you credit for your work if you don’t tell us about everything you’re doing to get the word out.

7. It’s Up to You: Get creative and have fun! We know you have so many amazing ideas and know about things your friends love lots more than we do. We’re giving you the freedom to be as creative as you want to be. Your Primary Mission Your biggest mission as a Forest Guard member is to help us find new recruits. What’s a recruit? A recruit is a new reader of Green and the Circle series. Each time you find a new recruit, you need to get them to sign-up on the recruit page.
When a new recruit signs-up, two things will happen:
1. They will receive exclusive offers on Green and other Ted Dekker books.
2. You will receive 100 points towards the Forest Guard rewards for each new recruit who uses your Forest Guard number
. IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT RECRUITS:
1. Recruits must sign-up at [teddekker.com] in order to receive the special offers.
2. You will only get your 100 point credit for the recruits who use your Forest Guard number when they sign-up on that page, so be sure to tell everyone you influence to use your number.
3. Many of the Forest Guard rewards require that you get a certain number of recruits in order to qualify, so be sure to check out the rewards page to find out how many recruits you need based on what prize you hope to earn.
