Book Giveaway!

I'm sorry that these didn't get posted on Saturday. Guess what? Last week's winners didn't get mailed either. ::snort::

I'll wait until Friday to draw winners this week, as I'm posting these late.

If you are a participant in the summer reading challenge (it's not to late to join), you are eligible for this random drawing. Simply leave a comment and let me know which book you'd like to be considered for. You'll need to give me a way to contact you so that we can exchange addresses off blog.

*The Purpose Driven Life* by Rick Warren. Brand new copy. Honestly, we have been given several copies. I have not made it past the first few chapters as I really struggle with the way he uses various obscure paraphrases of Scripture. This means that I have to look up each verse in several translations I trust before I move ahead to the next sentence.....BUT if you don't have that hang up you may enjoy this book.....and many who DO have that hangup tell me that they love this book. I loved the first line "it's not about you". ::snort::

*Homeschooling the Early Years* by Linda Dobson. Used copy - no markings. This book is a "complete" guide to successfully homeschooling the 3- to 8- year-old child.

*For the Children's Sake* by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay. Used book, name in the front, but no markings in this copy. This was my first exposure to Charlotte Mason's theory years ago; I was hooked. It's a small book. It's an easy read. It will give you fresh vision for what homeschooling could be.

Wow -- I would love the Homeschooling for the early years! My girls are 2 1/2 and 18 months and we are doing a light preschool year this year to get our feet wet and try to get my brain wrapped around the whole thing, but this would surely be a blessing :-)
Thanks!!

Please enter me in the drawing For the Children's Sake :)

I've read a LOT since I've last updated. I need to do that. I've not read everything on the list, but have added a couple dozen titles :)

My nonfiction pile could eat my fiction pile alive.

Please enter me for Homeschooling the Early Years and For the Children's Sake.

Thanks!

I'm not entering the drawing, but I wanted to comment that I think this would be a great way to get rid of a few of my books (LOL)!

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Yes, Cindy - it would be. There is a whole group doing that...I'll have to look around for the info....they give books away and then pass them on through their blogs....someone know what I'm talking about? I know this - I just can't remember....too little sleep last night. LOL
