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!
Thank you for sharing the Bible Atlas’s with your bloggers.
I got on lproof blog tonight for the first time looking for quotes I could put in my 25th HS Reunion comment section. One question they asked was; where have you been? and the second was where are you going? I put…”I’ve been to hell (personally, spiritually and medically) and I’m going to heaven and I’m taking as many people as I can with me!” I thought a quote from Beth could catch someones attention, the way she caught mine the first time I heard her. On the blog I saw the bible I was looking at today.
Today, I had a rare opportunity to shop alone without my 2 boys at a wholesale club and I had the Bible Atlas in my hot little hands, admiring it and looking through the pages; so excited I felt led to share my faith with the gal filling the shelves. I showed her the bible and the pictures. Told her all about Beth and ‘Believing God’, how she shares Gods Word and makes them truly come alive in my heart and in my friends new christian heart. I’ve been looking for a bible that goes deeper. She said she hadn’t had time to look at it, but now she had too.
I love these moments when God reaches out and touches me and gives me the hug I needed.
What book would I give?
I would give a Bible Atlas or Life Application Bible with tabs or sticky notes of the verses that help me in my darkest hours.
Thank you Lord for Beth and her team as they share your Word, your Living, Powerful Word on the other side of our world. I pray that hearts are opened to your Truth and pasts become Living testimonies of Hope for others. Let each and every person they encounter feel Your Love, Your Grace, Your Peace, Your Joy and their hearts ache to know You more, let veils be lifted. I pray for their safety and safe travels. I lift these prayers and all their unspoken prayers to You God, My Abba Father, in the most powerful name Jesus Christ, my Savior. Amen
The Quotes:
I can’t decide between the two quotes, I do know I will not settle for bearable and God has made it clear He won’t let me either.
“If Jesus gives us a task or assigns us to a difficult season, every ounce of our experience is meant for our instruction and completion if only we’ll let Him finish the work. I fear, however, that we are so attention-deficit that we settle for bearable when beauty is just around the corner.”
― Beth Moore
“God surpasses our dreams when we reach past our personal plans and agenda to grab the hand of Christ and walk the path he chose for us. He is obligated to keep us dissatisfied until we come to him and his plan for complete satisfaction.”
― Beth Moore
I know…way too much info. Thank you for reading all the way through!
Hey! 😉
I’d give “Jesus Calling” devotional! I use it as a tool in the prophetic ministry that I am a part of. God has used it to so minister His heart to His people! Incredible to be a part of… such a powerful devotional!!
His Blessings, love & grace ~

I love to read…and when I read the first book in the Mitford Series I laughed out loud in the first chapter. These books were written by Jan Karon. When I finished the series I felt like I’d lost a good friend. Good clean reading that makes you laugh and cry.
Kathy Gerlach
Jan Johnson… enjoying the Presence of God
Christina McClure, Hinds Feet on High Places, my all time FAV book. Love you gals!
One of my favorite gift books is The Jesus Storybook Bible ~ Every Story Whispers His Name by Sally Lloyd-Jones. It is an awesome addition to ANYone’s library 😉
I would give away a book about a special needs child called “Out of my Mind.”
So many amazing books out there & I agree with the readers above, it totally depends on who the recipient is & the situation. I can’t do just one! 😉
“The Message” version of the Bible..if you’ve been a christian for awhile this will give you fresh eyes. “Waking the Dead ” by John Eldredge. Absolutely one of the best books to explain the REAL story we are living in. Easy, Brilliant. “Captivating” by Stasi Eldredge, went to the CO retreat w/her 7 yrs. ago changed my life forever! “Traveler’s Gift”-Andy Andrews. “Jesus Story Book Bible”-absolutely fantastic for kids or even newbie adult christians. “What to say when you talk to yourself” Shad Helmstetter. For inner healing, anything by John Loren & Paula Sandford. “Narnia Chronicles” CS Lewis-for kids, and grown-ups like me who love symbolism & ‘deep God-magic’. My favorite little books to give to seekers: “How good is Good Enough?” by Andy Stanley or “Epic” by John Eldredge.
Would love to win the Atlas. I have almost finished “Read the Bible for Life” by George H. Guthrie which is excellent, so would give this away.
Sarah Young’s, Jesus Calling is my favorite book to give away.
LeAnne Burns
“Authentic Beauty” by Leslie Ludy. I keep reading it over and over again!
Kim Teamer
The book I would love to give to someone else would be Beautiful Battle by Mary DeMuth.
Thanks and Many Blessings,

I would love this Bible Atlas! My husband and I are missionaries in Japan and could really use this in our Bible Studies at church. What book would I give away? – I would have to say a Bible first (so many people in the world don’t have a Bible) and other one would be Hedges:Loving Your Marriage Enough to Protect It by Jerry Jenkins.
Thanks and God Bless!!
Toni Larkin
Oh, the Places You Can Go by Dr. Seuss
The Grace Awakening by Chuck Swindoll, The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie O’Martian, Get Out of That Pit by Beth. These books are just three of so, so many that have touched and blessed my life.
Michele Furry
I’ve never had a Bible Atlas, so it would be awesome to win this! A fun book to give away would be one of the Sister Chick books.
Jesus Calling
Corinne Pearce
It is hard to pick one book, but it would probably be Jane Eyre. I love that story so much that I named my daughter after the main character. I love how Jane perseveres through so many trials and yet remains strong and pure.
Praying often for your ministry and travels!
Christina Luther
If I could give away any book it would be So Long Insecurity.
I’d give away ‘1,000 Gifts’ by Ann Voskamp.
The book I am reading is one that everyone needs to read. It’s by Billy Graham’s grandson, Tullian Tchividjian.
“Jesus + Nothing = Everything”
Do we ever serve a great God. He is sufficient. There is nothing else we need.
I would give Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I could relate in so many ways and the author did a great job of revealing God’s love.
Leah Casagranda
To those who do not have a Bible, I would want to give them a copy of God’s Word! To those who do have a Bible, I would give Crazy Love by Francis Chan!

Kendra Thompson
I’d give Redeeming Love to…my mom.

I love the book Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand.
It’s an amazing book!
The Fisherman by Larry Huntsberger ( my pastor). A really cool fictional book about Paul.
It is hard to pick just one book. I have recommended So Long Insecurity by Beth to many friends. I love how it covers all insecurities!
“Jesus Calling”
I would love to win the Bible atlas – great study resource.
Beckie Potterfield
After reading these comments, I just want to go add the books we want to give away to my own collection. But I would give away Streams in the Desert devotion book. It blesses me to begin my quiet time with that devotion.
I’d give a bible to my Mother-in-law and hope that she’d begin seeking Jesus.
My name is Kare Shorey and i live in New Brunswick, Canada If I could give away one book, I would choose a book I’ve recently read that was life changing. I’m Not Good Enough . . . And Other Lies Women Tell Themselves by Sharon Janes.
I just finished reading Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers- I was swept away! It would have to be this one!
Aletta Cherry- I would give my friend in South Africa a book that would show her God’s love and mercy! (I haven’t found the perfect one that He will use to pull her out of her depression YET).
Hi Beth,
I hope it is okay to comment on here even if it is not about your above post … I am currently working an overnight shift and watching Life-Today online … your latest episode from today March the 21st.
I have recently listened to “So Long Insecurity,” I have to tell you life has only gotten harder … I know I am SO afraid to go there but I don’t know why … I just don’t get it! If I knew how to turn it off and press forward I would … but I don’t!!
Please help … I truly do just want to be free, want to be done, want to believe the Lord and except all that I know He is waiting to show me.
Marilyn Miller- I would give away Traveling Light by Max Lucado.
What a fun giveaway! I’d love to have a Bible Atlas!
One book for me to give away? I’d probably pick something from Francine Rivers.
Thanks for the chance to win the atlas!
Jen Johnson
I would give away a NIV Study Application Bible. I have given away numerous ones. I love mine.
The book to give away would depend on the recipient but at the top of the list would be Captivating by Staci Eldredge.
Lori Krance
It is hard to pick just one book, but the one that stands out right now is “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren.
I love all of the suggestions that are being posted. I’m always looking for new books to read.
Hi! How fun!
I would give away the Mitford Series by Jan Karon. I was reading one of the books when I begged out to God to change my life! And, OF COURSE HE DID!
I buy small Bibles from Lifeway for $5 and keep them to give away. They are different translations HSCB is what I’ve bought most of the time. They are different colors and leatherish bound with really neat embossing on the cover. Mine has a crown of thorns. Rhonda Vandergriff
“Calm My Anxious Heart” by Linda Dillow
Thanks for this fun!
I would absolutely love to have one of these for my morning studies.
The book “in this season of my life” I would give away is “Radical” by David Platt. It’s very raw, brutally honest, truth speaking that thrustfully inspires. I love it!
Thank-you so much for having giveaways!!!!
<3Erin Hall
I would give away a copy of the devotional called New Every Morning by LPM. I bought mine at one of Beth’s conferences and have searched high and low to find it to give to others and can’t find it anywhere! I’d be thrilled if you brought it back!!
I would give away a copy of The Joy of Cooking. I love to cook and that book has helped me learn so much over the years! I gave a copy to my little sister when she got married and it makes me feel so proud to hear her talk about the things she’s learned so far.
What a great prize:) my giveaway book lately has been 1000 gifts by Ann Voskamp. It has had a huge impact on my life and I love to share it!
