Summer Reading Challenge Giveaway

Congratulations to Christa and Renee, last week's winners. Your books are in the van - that's a very good start on their journey. I'll drop them off tomorrow or Monday a.m. It's time for two more books to find new homes...

*Miserly Moms* by Jonni McCoy - This old standby is filled with tips, recipes, and many ideas. If you are wanting to shave some $ off your living expenses - this may be a place to start....and it's free to the one who comments below and is picked. You gotta love that! Jonni even gives a plug for freezer cooking and mentions the Feingold diet. ::snort:: This book has been gently read - no marks or comments in the margins. ::snort::

*Intimate Faith - A Woman's Guide to the Spiritual Disciplines* by Jan Winebrenner Read an excerpt from chapter one to see if this book is of interest to you. I consider this book to be a primer on living a life that encompasses spiritual disciplines…I would personally recommend that you branch out into some classics of the faith and do topical studies from the Word on the various spiritual disciplines. I HAVE used this book as a resource for several years...it challenges me to "walk a bit deeper". This is a new copy!

If you would like to own one of these books post a comment below. Please let me know how to contact you (either a blog link or an email address). I'll select a winner sometime on Wednesday - to be safe comment by Tuesday midnight if you want to be considered.

You must be a participant in the challenge - defined by having added your link to Mr. Linky or commented to the original post. It doesn't matter WHEN you sign up - you just need to be a participant. If you aren't a participant now, and would like to be, click above and go sign up. ::snort::

I'll mail either book domestically or internationally.

Ok, I signed up! Originally I wasn't sure how much time I'd have to read with Hailey being born and all. But I'm finding myself here by myself during the weeknights due to Michael working down south. A good opportunity to get my books read! Count me in! Are you going to do a Fall one as well?

I would be interested in this one: Intimate Faith - A Woman's Guide to the Spiritual Disciplines* by Jan Winebrenner. I don't know if I qualify for the book drawings since I registered for the Reading Challenge late, but I thought I would try.

Blessings!

Jen - not sure about the fall one. Katrina at Calipidar days hosts a big one - I think. If she doesn't I'll do one for sure....but if she does I'm leaning to doing my challenges on the seasons when she is off. I think she does fall and spring.....but summer and winter scream for books too! LOL Stay tuned.

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Yes, Jamie! For the book giveaways you can enter regardless of when you signed up. For the $10 gift certificate at the end you need to have signed up by the starting deadline.
