AND THE WINNERS ARE…
Hey y’all! Lindsee here! You guys sure love a giveaway, don’t you? I hope you know that I laughed my head off at this post. Honestly, I wish I’d of thought of grabbing a copy before heading off to the beach because that would have been brilliant. One thing I learned to be true, you just never know what you’ll miss at LPM when you go on vacation. I’m seriously considering never leaving again for fear of what I’ll get blamed for next. Oh, I kid, I kid.
Without further ado, here are the 20 random winners! And when I say random, I mean random. Only the Lord knew who’d receive a copy. I am posting the comment number and the name beside it so you can double check if YOU are the winner or not. There may be a lot of “Kim’s” out there, so make sure you’re the “Kim” that is #531. Make sense?
#1161 – Missy S.
#174 – Angie McGuffee
#921 – Robin
#882 – Linda E.
#1737 – Wendi Gale
#991 – Michelle Ochoa
#531 – Kim
#400 – Donna
#274 – Carolyn
#1352 – Diana Vigil
#1191 – Elizabeth
#1695 – Ginger
#372 – Lauren Gilliam
#293 – TAMMY
#1870 – Kristi Thetford
#1396 – Susan Lawrence
#1288 – Niki
#543 – Stacee Showalter
#865 – Kristi Steawrt
And last but certainly not least, the winner of the mysteriously gone missing, sandless and plagiarized autograph copy goes to…
#368 – Jodie Luna
If the lucky winners would email me (Lindsee) at [email protected] with your mailing address we’ll get your book to you ASAP! We love y’all so much.
Hey, Darlings!
Don’t you love free stuff? Especially really great free stuff? And what if it’s really valuable great stuff? That’s the kind of giveaway we’re having today!
I just happen to be holding in my hands 19 copies of Christine Caine’s brand new book Undaunted.
Woooohoooo! Because my ministry brain automatically thinks Siestas (for any of you visitors today, that’s the term of endearment for our LPM bloggers), as soon as the book was out, I told my staff that I wanted to give a stack of copies away to you guys. Undaunted is such a great book and, Child, even if your soul feels like wood that’s been soaking for six months in a tub of water, it will fire you up. If it doesn’t, you better let your Mama take your pulse.
AND because Christine was in Houston on Monday after we’d received the copies in the mail, oh, yes I did indeed have the boldness to say, “Hey, since you’re right here, would you mind signing these?” (Pushing the stacks forward and holding out a pen.)
Maybe you noticed the random number 19. Actually, I ordered 20 to give away but one was missing when I snagged the opportunity to have Christine sign these. We suspect that a copy may have gone with one of our staff members on vacation which we were really happy about because, for starters, we all share books and there were plenty of them so that would be completely normal (it’s a wonder 15 of them weren’t missing). But I am mainly happy about it because it’s making for a much better and more awkward story and I dearly love awkward. As soon as Lindsee that staff member gets back, we’ll see if she if she happens to have it and, if so, it will be too late for Christine to autograph but I will have much glee plagiarizing her name on that one and write underneath it that I did. I might get said staff member to sign it, too. (Please don’t miss the endnote on this post.)
We Moores-Jones-Fitzpatricks got to have the whole Caine family – Nick, Christine, and their daughters Catherine and Sophia – out in the country at my house on Sunday night. I knew I didn’t want to cook supper because we’d have such a short time together and I meant to immerse myself in those kids and my own grandbabies.Here are the Caine girls. Aren’t they adorable??? Catherine is the oldest then that’s Sophia right in front of me. I heard multiple Scripture memory verses from them both and with the sweetest thick Australian accents you’ve ever heard.
SO, I ordered pizzas a day ahead at a really great place in our area and asked Keith to go pick them up after the Caines arrived. At my house we call what I did here “a Moore-der” as opposed to an “order.” If a little is good, more is better. There were also several orders of pasta. It was humiliating and I was made sport of all evening.
In my own defense, we were expecting Keith’s parents who were unable to come. However, they don’t usually eat a large pizza each. We would love to have had Priscilla and Jerry Shirer and their three boys, too, but they had school the next day and their oldest, Jackson, also had football practice. And that is not to be missed. I remember that well, having raised a couple of athletes myself. I wish I could say that we were expecting the Shirers to come when I made the order but alas. No. It was just a tad of an overshoot.
To say we had leftovers is an understatement and I sent them home with the Jones to give to some fun church members who live nearby with a house full of high school boys. I don’t know if the pizzas survived the night. I hope not for my own dignity. Even though I didn’t want to cook supper, I did indeed want to bake. And why??? Because. I am a kickin’ good baker. That’s why. Once again, a Moore-der. That’s two Arkansas buttermilk pies with homemade, rolled-out crust, one 5-flavor pound cake and I don’t have to tell you what the other one is.
Now, how on earth do you get me off track like that?? I constantly chase rabbits with you guys. This was actually about a book giveaway and a mighty good one at that. Here’s just a page for a teaser.
OK! Go for it, Sister Friends! We’ll do a random drawing of 19 books! Or if the book should appear, we’ll blow the beach sand off of it, plagiarize a signature (and tell you so) just for fun and make it 20!
**Endnote: As it turns out, Lindsee said Staff person did not take the book at all. Yet another had absconded with it. We are in hysterics. Welcome to Living Proof Ministries.
Surely you know I’m nuts about you.
Oooo I would love to win a copy! And I think you should share some recipes!
I can’t wait to read this book even if my name is not chosen, but who doesn’t love an autographed gift!
I would LOVE to win a copy of Undaunted! I follow Christine on Instagram, she’s such an inspiration! But no worries! I’m still a Siesta at heart!
Blessings,
LA
I’m in!:0)

Loved this post! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of Christine’s book!
I would love to win a copy of this book! I really really need to be fired up again. Life has been rough lately. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy! I look forward to reading it!
Count me in! Thanks! This is fun!
Wow, how exciting! I think the too much food thing must be a “Texan thing”. I’m a transplant & still find myself doing the same thing my grandmother did 🙂
I was privileged to hear Christine at the Joyce Meyer Conference on Saturday!! God is using her in AMAZING ways! And…. might I add that God did a “Connie are you listening?” for me using both you, Beth, and Christine! On the morning of the simulcast I was having my quiet time and God whispered “faithfulness” in my ear. Later that day you told us we could not remove the faith from our faithfulness because then we would merely be seeking fullness.. a WORD from above for ME!!! THEN, Christine shamelessly 🙂 repeated the same sentence when she spoke exactly one week later!! I think I am to focus on keeping the faith in my faithfullness!!!! Thank you BOTH for being God’s vessels in my heart!
I would love to receive a copy of the book as I am an avid reader! Thanks for the chance to win one.
Love a give away! And I agree, how about recipe for buttermilk pie & the other 2 desserts. I’m the same, always have too much food but love sending it home with the guests. Usually my teenage grandsons. Have a glorious & blessed day!
Thank you for this opportunity.
Thank you!!!
I would LOVE a copy!!! Thanks!!!!!
I’d love something to refresh my soul! Just entered the 4th week of homeschooling my two boys – and whew! I could use something just for me!
Being a rabid-reader who loves her booptabulous books…I enter the drawing 😉
Thanks for another suggestion of a great book!!
I would love to get a copy! I saw Christine Caine at Passion and was blown away by how amazing of a speaker she is. Did not know she wrote books, too, that’s awesome!
Yes! I would love to win a copy….and also have the buttermilk pie recipe. :)Thanks! Elizabeth, Midland
I would love to win a copy! 🙂 Thanks for a great giveaway!
me! me! and I love “loaning” out books that have a divine appointment on someone’s shelf. So Long Insecurity has been the most strategically placed bookshelf spot-saver for a divine appointment. Maybe this one is that next book!!
I am late to sign up because I was at the funeral of a saint from our church. Beautiful service with wonderful music. The church was overflowing and several of us stood for the entire service. But I would do it again to honor Miss Alice.
I would like to be one of the lucky ones to receive a copy of the book.
Woot woot! Would love a copy! Homemade crust wow! You order pizza like I do always want to have enough! Have a great day and thank you for having the giveaway!
Blessings
Sharon :o)
I would LOVE to win a copy. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity.

Cannot wait to read her new book! Not sure if it is available in Ireland yet! Might have to order a few to give to my friends as well.x
I have been wanting to read this book….I adore Christine and her passion heart!
Cracking up over the absconded with book!
I so would love a copy of this book! I can’t afford to buy a copy myself and while at WOF (Philly) I had the opportunity to hear Christine Caine speak and was blown away! I feel in love with her immediately! I went into to WOF at my lowest point in life after hearing her speak about our loving God I had a whole new perspective of what I am facing! I am still struggling and some days are harder than others but I left WOF totally encouraged not only by Christine Caine but all of the speakers. I have never had the opportu ity to hear Beth Moore speak or read or do any of her Bible studies again because of money but have heard they are all great! Look forward to hearing who wins! I know God will bless whoever receives it!
I love that you are so real with us!! Too fun! I would love to be included in the drawing for the book. Thanks so much!
Always reading here! Would love to win a copy to include in my current reading list 🙂 Thanks!
I loved Christine’s blog about her discovery of LPM Bible studies and how she did several in just a few months. I’d love to read her book.
Dear sweet Beth….you always bless my soul, fill me with joy and enrich my life in more ways than I could ever express! Thank you is not enough. Can’t wait for Bible study tonight (Deuteronomy)and yes, I would LOVE to read Undaunted!
Looking forward to reading it and sharing with others. Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to read this book!!!! Can’t wait!
I am UNDAUNTED by the fact that a gazillion women are hoping for a copy! Thanks for all you do for us Siesta’s! LPM is so loved!!! Blessings!
Wow! What a great opportunity. Praying God sees fit that my name is drawn. Thanks for looking out for Siestas… Undaunted sounds like a great follow up to The Great Forsake and Take message at the Simulcast. Thanks.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win this book. Hope I am one of the 19.
The book looks great!
As the definition of “Undaunted” includes not intimidated and fearless…sign me up!!! Sounds like a life-changing book, because of a life-changing God!
Blessings and thanks for this opportunity,
Joy
