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!
I would pass along the book “One Thousand Gifts” by Ann Voskamp 🙂 Thank you for this fun giveaway!
The Rest of God by Mark Buchanan
Lindsay Neagle
Jesus Calling or Beth’s Believing God devotional
I would love to give a Bible to someone who has never had one.
Circle Maker by Mark Batterson is an awesome book on prayer. I actually did already pass it on to a friend!
If I could give away one book I think it would be Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby. It really changed the way I think about God.
At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon and all the Mitford series books. They are feel good books that make me laugh.
The Same Kind of Different As Me. What a wonderful story of people who made a difference. Very inspiring.
Right now I’d give away the book Planting Dandelions by Karyn Pittman.
Hello –
My name is Jessica Kennedy.
The book I would give away right now to everyone I know would be ‘One Thousand Gifts’ by Ann Voskamp. I finished in about a month ago and LOVED it!
Also, if I am lucky enough to win this giveaway, I will give the atlas to a dear friend of mine who just put this book on her Amazon wish list! 😉
Thanks and have a good day.
Jessie
Rachel Ivy
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
I would give a way the book “Kisses for Katie”. When we were in China adopting our daughter in November one of the other families we met recommended this book and I get it for everyone as a gift (even teenage girls)
The book I most often give my friends is Boundaries by Henry Cloud. I think it’s one of those books that can be a tremendous help to all of us.
If I could give away one book it would be The Gospel Story Bible: Discovering Jesus in the Old and New Testaments. We got one just before Christmas and it’s fantastic! I would love to be able to give one to every family that I know who has children.
I love the devotional book by Sarah Young called “Jesus Calling.”
Hey! If I could give away one book…it’d be a tie between…Breaking Free by Siesta Mama or Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Pastor Jim Cymbala!
I’ve never owned, used, looked at a Bible Atlas… would be awesome!!
I would give away “Victory Over the Darkness” by Neil T. Andersen to every believer I could. So we can all be free from bondage that keeps us from doing Kingdom work….. we are free in Christ. :o)
Pilgrim’s Progress is one of my favorites not just for children but to re-read as a mature christian. Another favorite is Fox’s Book of Martyrs, it always challenges me in throwing off the status quo of our current culture and to stand alone when I’m standing for God.
Thanks for this opportunity to share and receive such a fabulous resource.
Amy Carmichael’s “IF”…very thought provoking and convicting. It’s an oldie, but a goodie!
“You’re All That” by Paula White! 🙂
Like several other ladies who’ve commented, the book I currently would most like to give away is Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts.
I would and have given away Heaven is For Real. I have several staff members who have lost children and this book gave them comfort and encouraged them to deepen their relationship with Christ during some dark, sad days.
The Simple Power of Prayer
I love words too! I know I should probably say I’d give away the Bible and I HAVE given away numerous copies of “Jesus Calling” but if I could give away any book in the world, I would give away The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. It is one of my absolute favorite books.
7 by Jen Hatmaker
Monica Roche
If I could give away any book I would give away To Kill a Mockingbird. Such a classic 🙂
“So Long, Insecurity” is by far the best book I have ever read and has changed everything for me! I am telling every woman I love to read it!
Kim Ohlmann
Susan Hill
Nashville, TN
I would give away John Piper’s “Faith In Future Grace”
I have given away the book Jesus Freaks by Rebecca St. James. It is stories about young women giving their all for Jesus. I love seeing young women grow in the Lord and find out what God is calling them to do and doing it.
I would give Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti. Awesome book that focuses on spiritual warfare
Hi there!
My name is Karolyn Dicken- I remember when Beth Moore’s book, So Long, Insecurity came out…I was living with four other girls at that time and as I was gushing over the work the Lord was doing thru that book, one by one each roommate dove in. To the same book. We were all five sharing one copy until one by one they bought their own 😉 if I could buy any woman a book, that would be it 🙂
I would give ‘Little Women’.
For me to give a book away always depends on the situation. But I would give away the book Sun Stand Still
Sara Gorman
Colette Pellegrino
I have given away The Women of Faith Study Bible! Someone gave it to me some years ago and I paid it forward to a friend who is not a believer, and I pray it speaks to her!
Another book I loved was Redeeming Love!
Thanks for the opportunity to win The Bible Atlas!
Oh and another one of my most favorite books was The Notebook!!
I have so many favorites!! 🙂
Rebecca Tyndall
Radical would be my book of choice! Such a fabulous (if not convicting) book! 🙂
This is so fun!
I’d give away my all time favorite book, Redeeming Love!
Here’s to hoping I win! 🙂
I would give away the Word. In second place would be Mere Christianity, or The Case For Christ.
I would give away 365 Daily Devotions Psalms for Women.
Hi Friends, the one book I would give is the bible. I am thinking a lot of christians would give this answer, but, I am reminded to not underestimate the power of the word of God to touch and change lives. I must share: My nephew Scott years ago was living with my niece, Sandi. She came to know the Lord and had to tell him to leave becouse she didn’t want to live sin. Scott move into his friends garage. He was sad and trouble. He went to toss something in the trash and found a bible in the trash. He took it out and read the word of God. God spoke to him and a short time later he came to know the Lord (Shortened version). Gods word speaks.

Besides the Bible (smile) – the book that has most blessed me in the past eight years is The Heavenly Man (a story about one of China’s house church leaders). Great perspective and wonderful faith builder.
Cindy Staaden
I love giving Study Bibles away.
My name is Brooke Rogness. And I would give any great Bible to someone who doesn’t have one with the eagerness to have a relationship with God.
Elizabeth Kesselring ~ I would give away this atlas to my 9-year-old son who just yesterday announced that he is going to read the Bible through in 2 years and wants to take that long so he can study what he’s reading. (I know…sappy, but proud mamma had to share).
Gramma Sandy Coble
I am just loving Beth’s new study of James. I would strongly encourage others to do this study and would love to give a few of the study guides away. And of course I’d love the Bible Atlas too!
Thanking Jesus for Beth and her obedience to him and the fresh word she brings in her studies.
Love ya!

End of the Spear, Steve Saint
1,000 gifts is my current favorite.
DeeDee Martin
Redeeming Love. I have bought and given this book to many people.
“My Utmost For His Highest” by Oswald Chambers
I would love to give away One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp.
I would give Oswald Chamber’s My Utmost For His Highest to one of my friends from college. She needs some encouragement.
