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!

If I could give one book away it would be Jesus Calling by Sarah Young in hopes to enrich someones life with the Glory and splendor of HIS presence coupled with Truth.
Love y’all dearly and admire your works!

I have loved my Strongs Concordance (even though it is huge) where I could look up words and their exact meanings! Sometimes you just get lost in the fun of it! I discovered that Kindle had the Strongs for $2.49!! So I will be giving that book away.
Meg Hughes (Louisville, KY). I would give everyone a copy of “The Help.”

I love giving books, but usually different book for different people. Although I have given several Francine Rivers books.
Id give away One Thousand Gifts, by Ann Voskamp
I would give away Jusus Calling by Sarah Young or The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman(?). Both have been profound in my life.
I have 2 favorite books to give away! The first one I give to brides-to-be at their shower is called “Sheet Music”. The second is called “Lessons From A Venitian Vinedresser”. We are the vine and He is the vindresser. It is a story af a man that took his family to Venice Italy for 1 year to live with a vinedresser. There they learned the care given to each individual vine and how He tends to each indivudual us:)

2. If I could give away one book to anyone to win it would probably be “Why Christian Kids Rebel” by Tim Kimmel. I really, really loved it and it has such amazing wisdom in it.
My thirst for knowledge about the Bible has just exploded in the last couple of years. How did they do such and such, and just tidbits, facts, and information that bring the pages more alive and personal to me. I would be so excited to devour those pages. 🙂
I love Christian fiction and mysteries. One of those would be what I would give away.
Pam McDonald–What a neat giveaway! The book I would give would be “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers.
My name is Jo Lynn Chazarreta and I love this blog! If I gave away a book it would either be Reedeming Love by Francine Rivers or Lineage of Christ by Francine Rivers.
My name is Melinda Hollis. I would love to give away a copy of Liberated Through Submission by PB Wilson, and I would give it away to just about anybody who would take it. It changed my mind radically on submission, and I think it would be very important for anyone to read.

Mary Ann Holton, Her Mother’s Hope & Her Daughter
‘s Dream, by Francine Rivers (because they are a series)
I’d love to give away “Same kind of Different” to anyone who has never read it.
If I could I would give a Bible to everyone on this planet as so many do not have access to one. Have a great day Siestas!
I would either give away Redeeming Love or One Thousand Gifts. They are both awesome!!! I just finished One Thousand Gifts and it’s a life-changer!
Darcie, Bethel, CT: I would give away a copy of Ann Voskamp’s book One Thousand Gifts to everyone I know if I could!
HOW FUN! And how interesting! This would definitely help in my further study!
A NVI/NIV Spanish-English New Testament. Actually I will give one to a woman I work with on Monday. Whoever sees this pray that seeds will be planted so that this woman and her family can be saved. By the way, I speak very little Spanish, so it will have to be a God thing! Smile!

Anna Jones
There are so many great books in this world to giveaway! I think one of Philip Yancey’s books are always a great gift.
Christina Perrone I love Water for Elephants, and of course, would give a Bible to any who didn’t already have one!!
I have given several copies of the book “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers to friends, family, teachers, etc. Not one person has said they did not like that book. I, myself, have loved it too. It really does an awesome job of showing love and forgiveness in “real world” experiences. In turn, it shows the love, forgiveness, and redemption that Christ offers. Love, love, LOVE that book.
Thanks for the chance to receive such an awesome book. I have never seen this before, but I’m sure I would be swimming in knowledge if I did. :>
Tami Spence, GA. I’d give away redeeming love by Francine rivers. Love this story!
Ashlie McDonald
If I could give away any book it would be Mere Christianity by C.S.Lewis.That book changed my life!!!
I’m an English major and fiction junkie, so if I could give away any fiction classic, it’d be Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf.
Thanks and God Bless!
Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Excellent daily devotional.
JoAnn Janik – Houston, TX
I would give the NIV Application Study Bible and, I probably would not be able to stop myself to include one of Beth’s studies. Like peanut butter and jelly, they are just meant to go together.
I would give away Pilgrim’s Progress!
If I could give this bible to anyone, it would to be to both of my sisters,,, they have gone thru hurts with each other and are not speaking, and I am in the middle… I think giving them a bible would bring hope to each of their lives
Lori Leckner, brand new to Houston. I’d love to win an Atlas! If I could give away one book (besides the Bible to my family, that’s a given) it would be 1000 Gifts as well by Ann Voskamp.
I would give Ann Voskamp’s “One Thousand Gifts”!
I have so many favorite books, picking one to give away is difficult! But I had to choose only one I would give a copy of The Message translation of the Bible.
Joan DeKoekkoek
I don’t know if this will make the deadline, but I’m trying…One of the books I would give away to someone is “Bringing Kids Up Without Tearing Them Down” by Kevin Lehman. It was really practical advice when my girls were younger! Have a great weekend! I will be praying everyone involved with Colour Conference home soon!
My name is Julia Isaacs, and if I could give away one book to someone it would be “Heaven is For Real” by Todd Burpo. My cousin, who’s like a sister to me, experienced the sudden death of her youngest child about a year and a half ago. She read this book as part of her grief counseling assignments, and passed it along for each of our family members to read. I had chill bumps reading that book, and not one of us made it from beginning to end without shedding quite a few tears!

2. I would give away a Hebrew-Greek Study Bible (zodhiates). It is a rite of passage at our house to give one to our teenagers. After getting copies for my husband and two of my teenagers, I am finally getting one. Such a great study Bible.
