Presents, Presents Everywhere!

We have a new winner! And, another winner! Surprise! I received an autographed copy of A Pheromone Affair while visiting my parents at Thanksgiving, so I am also giving away the copy I'd purchased when we found out the book had been released. 

The first autographed copy goes to (drum roll, please)...VONDA SKELTON! Woo Hoo!
The second, non-autographed copy goes to...Don!

Please email your address to amoralescmc@yahoo.com and I'll get those out to you this weekend. Thanks for entering!

For this week's giveaway, Baker Publishing Company has blessed me with the opportunity to offer My Favorite Bible by Rondi DeBoer and Christine Tangvald. 

With the vibrant illustrations and engaging text in this Bible storybook, you can enjoy sharing the best-loved stories of the Bible with the children in your life and encourage a life-long love for the Word of God. My Favorite Bible is a book of exciting Bible stories and activity pages that guide children through the foundational truths of Scripture.

Each story is fully illustrated and includes a simple narrative full of things kids love: repetition, rhythm, and energy, along with a key biblical theme, a key Bible verse, and discussion questions to help adults introduce children to the Bible.

The colorful illustrations will capture the imaginations of children ages 4–8, and the stories will help adults to pass along the most important truth in life—the Gospel. Families will cherish this time as they read, listen, learn, and love, growing closer to one another even as they grow closer to God.

By clicking on the book cover or title, you can get to amazon, where there's a place for you to see inside the book. This isn't a Bible, but a wonderful book of Bible stories. Each selection includes activities, discussion, and a find-the-butterfly search for you to do with your children. It also includes praying together, which is so important in building our childrens' faith.

For an opportunity to win this wonderful book, please leave a comment on this post. I'll choose the winner next Wednesday evening and announce it on Thursday morning. Baker Publishing is sending this book out to my winner after December 15th. 

God bless you every one!

Presents, Presents Everywhere!

I apologize for posting this late. I've been busy, busy, busy this week!

Our first Christmas giveaway winner is...Glenda Parker!!! Glenda, please contact me with your address. My email is: amoralescmc@yahoo.com. Congratulations! I'll get that in the mail to you right after the Thanksgiving holiday.

My second gift to one lucky reader is...

An autographed copy of A Pheromone Affair. This book is near and dear to my heart for two reasons. One, my dad wrote it. Two, he hired me to edit it.

Audrey Leclaire is on vacation in Israel when her trip is interrupted by a telegram from her grandfather.

While Audrey's grandfather breathes his last breath, disclosing a family secret that's been kept for his lifetime, George Gorman is diligently working on a pheromone which he intends to use to answer the Jewish Question.

Audrey must head back to Israel on a mission to resolve her grandfather's honor. Will she be able to stop a madman and save a nation before the pheromone is released or those who want her dead succeed?

If you would love to check out this exciting read, please leave a comment below. I look forward to hearing what you think of it!!!

Just a Reminder...

I just wanted to post a brief reminder. Every Thursday between now and Christmas, there will be an opportunity to win a free gift here on my blog. It's my way of saying "Thank You" to my readers and offering a blessing in return.

All you need to do is comment on the Thursday blog post for a chance to win each week. I will select the winner each Wednesday night and post the result Thursday morning with the new opportunity to win. You can comment up until 7:00 PM EST each Wednesday.

I look forward to blessing you! Thank you for your continued readership. I love sharing with you as God speaks to me.

Presents, Presents, Everywhere!

Welcome to the first giveaway of the season! Up for you today is one of my favorite summer beach reads. (Although, I read it at home. And in the car.)

Here's the book trailer:

 

Lindsey Adams started visiting the mailbox as a teenager. Ever since, she's poured her heart out in letters each year, documenting the good times and the bad. This year, she's returned to Sunset Beach, North Carolina for the first time since her husband left her and her two kids, Anna and Jake.

As she struggles in her sorrow, memories of her first love, Campbell Forrester, arrive. With them come the heartache of rejection, again. Twice rejected by men she loved, Lindsey must decide if she can trust in love again or will avoid it altogether in order to protect herself from the possibility of being rejected a third time. Campbell reappears, making the decision even harder when he takes interest in her again.

If you think you'd like to read about Lindsey's journey to The Mailbox, please leave your comment below. I'd love to hear about a time when God gave you a second chance! Share your story for your chance to win.

Christmas is Coming! It's Present Time!

Are you aware that there are only 46 more days until Christmas???
