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.
Love you all, Shelli
You all are so fun 🙂 I love you so much. I would love to read Christine’s new book. I fell in love with her watching Passion 2012 🙂
BTW I was not able to watch the simulcast but the Great Forsake and Take has blessed me so much. I also shared it with a friend that was in a crisis and she was so grateful. Thank you so much for sharing that!
I would love to win a copy. Im very much feeling like a piece of wood that has been soaking in water and could really use a good book to get the fire burning.

Christine was just in St.Louis speaking at a conference, and I so wish I could have heard her! Some of the ladies at church were there and were so moved by her talk that they left the conference with “Undaunted” tucked in their tote bags. Would love to be able to share and discuss with them what has them “on fire” after listening to Christine talk.
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
Need to get my water logged body on fire again for the Lord! Please pick me for the Undaunted book give away!!!

WoW Ms. Beth… You are quite the BAKER!
It all looks so yummy! What a JOY to behold… and I wouldn’t mind holding on to one of Christine Caine’s book… if I could be so fortunate… but just in case I bookmarked and added it to my wish list so thanks for letting us know about it!
I’m laughing over here about LPM staff and that it was NOT Lindsee (the suspected one)
And I have to ask (though you wrote ya’ don’t have to tell us what the other is)
I’m assuming it’s one of your favorite chocolate ??? but tell me what it is???
Pizzas galore and chocolate s’more, you are a kickin’ good baker from the looks of it and a great hostess at home and here!
Thanks for the random opportunity but with 874 responses and growing… God’s favor is all I ask… and blessings to you all!
(especially Lindsee and the real culprit)
Love and Hugs,
Peggy
Oh Beth, you are so funny! I would love to have this book!!!
I would love a copy of thus book! Thanks for thinking of us!
I was at Living Proof Live in Reading on the 15th of September. I had the privilege to be there with my Mom, it was her first LPL event. It was awesome. Siesta Momma, when you were praying God all over us at the end of the afternoon, I was on my knees soaking in the words you were speaking. While I was on my knees, I felt the weight of an arm around my shoulder and had such a feeling of peace and comfort. It filled my soul to overflowing. Thank you for loving us so much. Thank you for making each of us feel special and thank you for sharing God’s beautiful Word with us so we can understand it even more deeply.
p.s. My Mom is a Grandmother of 7, 5 girls and 2 boys. She absolutely LOVED your story about Bibby’s closet and so did I. XOXOXO 🙂
Beth, I love your blog and posts. I am in your James study and loving every minute of it. It would be a blessing to receive a copy of the book.
Siesta Mama, you are just the best and have me smiling so big each time you write to us! I always feel so loved. Thank you for that. And thank you for the chance to win! The chances of me winning are slim, so I’ll cross my fingers. So…are you going to share your recipes with us? I am serious. You simply cannot post pictures like that and not share the recipe! Happy today!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Beth, you are so much fun! Thanks for your constant generosity, just like the cookies you took to the Bible Study ladies! So sorry some people on twitter can’t just enjoy a little fun 🙂 you know your Siestas love you!
Lisa
Please draw my name! I would love a copy of the book!
I would love to read Undaunted!! Christine Caine’s “Can I Have and Do it All, Please?” book was amazing. Christine is such a practical, down to earth writer. Thanks
