Update: The comments are now closed! I’ll see you tomorrow morning as we reveal our TEN winners. Have a great day, ladies!
Siestas!
Happy middle-of-the-week to each of you!
It is a beautiful day here in Houston! It’s almost perfect spring weather, which is a compete treat especially compared to the weather we’ve endured recently. It’s either been really hot and humid (shocker!), or really nasty thunderstorms. In fact, yesterday was 100% chance of rain all day and it did just that. The best part about the rainy days at LPM are our shoes; three of us chose to trade in our typical work shoes for rain boots yesterday and it was a cute sight, if I do say so myself. We were giddy. Y’all, it really is the small things. I hope wherever you are, despite your weather or circumstances, you’re able to find delight in something as small as rain boots, silly or small as they may seem.
Anyway, can you believe it’s already been a week since our last giveaway? All of the sudden I realized today was the day to reveal our next fun giveaway so my fingers went to typing. It snuck up on me!
Do y’all remember (and I bet you do because it happened to be a pretty popular post and you also happen to have a sharp memory), when our Siesta Mama asked you to share with each other something really random that you love? That particular day she was gushing over her Bible atlas and felt the urgent need to share with you the joy it brings her. I distinctly remember her telling me she was posting a fun, random blog that day so that I could be watching for comments, and watch for comments I did! Y’all didn’t just come through; y’all went above and beyond with over one thousand comments or something fun like that. We were really tickled! Needless to say, people are passionate about things they love.
To refresh your memory, here is a picture of the Bible atlas.
To make a really long story short (I know, I love words), B&H Publishing Group was really generous and sent us ten Holman Bible Atlases to give away on our blog, just like the one she gushed over! Y’all, how kind was that? So, today not just one, but ten of you will be receiving this amazing Bible atlas.
This is the box of atlases sitting in my office.
For a chance to win here is what you need to do:
1) Make sure your comment has your first and last name.
2) Please comment only one time to give everyone a fair chance.
3) For fun, and you don’t have to do this to win, but it would be really fun to hear, if you could give away one book to anybody, what would it be?
4) Lastly, your comment on this post automatically enters you into this contest. So if you are not interested in winning a Bible atlas, please hold your comments until after the winner is selected. This will help us as we randomly select our winners. Thank you so much!
That’s all ladies! We’ll keep comments open for 24 hours and close the giveaway at 4:00 EST Thursday afternoon.
Also, like I’ve stated before, Australia is 16 hours ahead of Houston time, so when Beth and Amanda wake up it’ll be time to start the second conference. I know for a fact Beth and the team would covet each of your prayers as they labor with joy to teach God’s Word and share His gospel with this next group of ladies. If you’ve been following them on twitter, it’s been obvious that God has blessed their time there. In fact, I saw that they got to feed kangaroos. How fun is that? I’m with you, though, I can’t wait to hear and read all about it upon their return. Let’s pray they end strong in Jesus name!
Alright, ladies, time to hear from you! Be sure to check back Friday morning as I reveal our winners!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
The book I would give away, and would do it again and again, is Believing God by Beth Moore because it changed my life and I know it will continue to change others’ lives for many years to come.
Nidya de Hoyos.
I will love to win this.. Im studing the complete Bible this year and it will be very helpful..
I will love to give copies of a Heart Like His.. Love the book!
I would give away Jesus Calling to every person who wants to start a devotional time with the Lord. It is a great start.
If they didn’t already have a Bible, I think I would give someone who hadn’t yet read them all 7 books of the Chronicles of Narnia combined into one book. Maybe I will give it to myself! It’s time for me to re-read them, I think…
I would give away a Bible to someone less fortunate.
I would give away Radical by David Platt
I would give away Anne of Green Gables to a little girl who needs a little Anne in her life.
I would give someone Redeeming Live by Francine Rivers.
This is so much fun!! It is interesting to see what everyones book choices are. Like many others, I love to read so picking a favorite to share is hard. However, when I read the blog, two books came to mind….The Five Love Languages by Gary Smalley (really helped my husband and I), the other is God Chasers by Tommy Tenney.
If I could give one book, it would be Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud. I’ve read it four times now, and thank our Lord every time. Becoming healthy takes lots of work!
Jill Hsieh
I know it is not just a “Book” but THE BOOK: The Bible!!!!
I’d give away the book “with” by Skye Jethani. It’s so great.
I would love one of these atlas’ to use with my kids in our homeschool! Books to give away- 1000 Gifts by Ann Voscamp is awesome, BUT so is Housewives Desperate for God! Thanks for doing this.!
Christina Schmitt
I would give away Good and Beautiful God by James Bryan Smith
I would give away Redeeming Love!
I would give two books, that make up one story. Francine Rivers’ “Marta’s Legacy”. It’s the story of six generations of women and the trials of their grandmother, mother, daughter relationships through the generations. There are a lot of strained mother/daughter relationships out there. I’m not in any way a counselor, just a daughter and a mother, but I believe previous experiences hinder communication between the generations and these books show in tender ways the “if only they would talk, listen, and really try to understand each other” and not just try to “do it better and completely opposite of their mother”.
Jill Winter
I would give a book to my sister, because she loves books as much as I do!
🙂
Pam Nelson
Something I love: my Ipad. In one place I can have a large selection of books to read, many different Bible versions (one of my favorite Bible study activities is to compare Bible verses in a number of versions…YouVersion makes this easily possible), and I can keep in contact with friends through Facebook or friends and prayer requests all in one place.
Books to give away: David Platt’s Radical or a current favorite, Katie Davis’ Kisses From Katie.
I would love a Bible Atlas. I have had it on my Amazon Wish List since Beth mentioned it.
I would give away “Experiencing God” by Henry Blackaby.
It impacted my life in ways you would never believe.
I love giveaways! If I had ten Jesus Calling devotionals I would give them all away to anyone that didn’t have one!!
The book I’d give away right now is The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven by Kevin & Alex Malarkey. It is a true story of people believing God for what seems impossible, answered prayers and spiritual warfare. Fantastic read and testimony on God’s power.
shannon conner
the book I would give to someone is Joshua
The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns. WOW!!!
Kelly Brooks
Tammy Karasek, that’s me, and I would love to have an unlimited supply of Bibles to give away every chance I got!
I would appreciate having the Bible Atlas to use during study!
Thanks for the opportunity…I hope I win!!
Courtney Heath
I loved both Heaven Is Real and The Boy Who Went to Heaven. Loved seeing a glimpse.
Can’t wait to read One Thousand Gifts!
Nicole Ens
If I could give away one book it would be “1000 Gifts” by Ann Voskamp. It has deeply impacted the way I see and live through the moments of the day.
I know that this is random but I really love balancing my checkbook.
The book I would love to give is Jesus Calling by Sarah Young because it has recently been such an inspiration in my life.
Blessings to my sisters in Christ.
Leanne Herrett
I would give away Jesus Calling!
I would give away the book “Heavens is for Real”. Everyone needs to read this little sweet so real book from a child point if Heaven and God. There is no way he could make this up in his young little mind without seeing it for real. Some things he said really made me think and I cannot wait to get to heaven to name the baby I lost. Knowing that baby is in God’s hands waiting on me just made my life when I read that part and alot more. Everyone needs to read this book.
Love the atlas. Would give away “Hinds Feet in High Places”.
Debbie Lockwood
Jesus Lives by Sarah Young
Hi! I am Yany Pena from San Salvador, El Salvador. I definitely give away BOUNDARIES by Henry Cloud and John Townsend since I see the need in many Salvadoreans to learn to put boundaries in their lives.
I would give away Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery. It’s a wonderful, wholesome escape for girls!
Julie Pogue
I would love to win a Bible Atlas! Thanks for the opportunity. : )
A book I would love to give away, hmmmm? Probably the study of the book of Revelations that I am doing right now. It is by Cheryl Broderson. I am really excited about it!
Praying for you all~Love, Dayna Emerich
Robin Marsh ~ When I saw this Bible atlas in a bookstore I told my husband I would love to have it…now maybe I will win it! A book I have given away many times is 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper.
Hmmmm, a Bible seems like the obvious choice…especially if the receiver has never owned one! Certainly God’s Word is the most phenomenal collection of words! I have to say though, that if I had to choose a non-Bible book to give away, I would go with a great book I read a few years ago called “Same Kind of Different As Me”….so touching and inspiring!!
Thanks for the chance to add this Bible Atlas to my humble book Library! 🙂
I would give Beth Moore’s “So Long Insecurity” or Michelle DeAngelis’ “Get A Life That Doesn’t Suck”. Both books immensely helped me and have some great humor in them to bring a lighter side to some of our trying times. I love these two books!
There are two books I would like to share. The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn and Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus by Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg.
The book I LOVE to give away is Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Amazing, timely encouragement for each day.
I would love to be in the drawing…The book I would want to give to someone most is the Bible as there is no other more important book.
A Bible
Andrea Schlepp
I would say the Bible…I grew up in an unchurched family and was blessed to be taken under the wing of one of my friend’s families. They took me to church with them, picked me up bright and early every Sunday morning, and made me welcome in their Wednesday night youth group! They gave me my very first Bible…and my life was never to be the same. But most importantly they gave me Jesus. May I be that bold, to give unchurched, untouched people Jesus.
I would love to give away: The gruffalo! Its a childrens book that my kids love. As for the adult population I think Breaking Free is fantastic!
This is so fun!!! Thank you B&H and LPM! I would give “Miss Twiggly’s Tree” to my daughter and nieces. Matter-of-fact….I think I will do just that. Smiles!
Honestly, and I’m not saying this for brownie points, but I would give someone Siesta Mama’s Breaking Free study.
Lara Harris
I would give the book Redeeming Love to someone.
A book I’d give away is “Lineage of Grace” by Francine Rivers. I’m reading it right now for the second time and I’m almost finished.
I love Bible maps!!!

Besides the Bible, I would give “A Marriage Without Regrets” by Kay Arthur. In fact, I keep giving my copy away and replacing it.
Other than the Bible, it’s hard to choose there are soooooo many, but one that I LOVE that has not yet been mentioned here is “PRAYER by Phillip Yancy.”
I would LOVE an atlas, that is one book I do not have!
