Another winner and another chance to win

May 18, 2012

Free book Fridays continue. We’re into Week 3 now, and I’d love to see the word spread about this week’s giveaway.

But first, we have a winner from last week! Congratulations to Brian Betsworth, who won a copy of Francis Chan’s Forgotten God. Brian is a pastor friend and seminary classmate (as well as a fellow Bears fan – go Bears!) who is recently married. Let me know how I can get the book to you!

Now, on to the next book.

This week’s offering is a novel by Kathi Macias. People of the Book was the first of her books I’d read, and now I can’t stop. You can read my previous review of People of the Book here. (If you’re interested in other books she’s written that I’ve reviewed, you can find them here, here and here.) It’s a fabulous, thought-provoking, challenging read.

SO HOW DO YOU WIN A COPY? Leave me a comment about how Jesus has changed your life. That’s one entry. Follow me on Twitter (@lmbartelt) or subscribe to the blog via e-mail. (One extra entry each.) Share this giveaway on Facebook or Twitter. (One extra entry each.) So that’s FIVE chances to win. Come back here and leave a separate comment each time you enter. I’ll pick a winner next Thursday and announce it, along with the final FREE book on Friday. Are we having fun yet?

Welcome

Hi. I’m Lisa, and I’m glad you’re here. If we were meeting in real life, I’d offer you something to eat or drink while we sat on the porch letting the conversation wander as it does. That’s a little bit what this space is like. We talk about books and family and travel and food and running, whatever I might encounter in world. I’m looking for the beauty in the midst of it all, even the tough stuff. (You’ll find a lot of that here, too.) Thanks for stopping by. Stay as long as you like.
