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.
Thank-you for the chance to win the book Undaunted.
ps. we enjoy texas sheet caked in Nova Scotia also:)
Already excited just from the one page sneak peak! Thanks for offering the chance to win and teaching me SO very much about God! God Bless you and yours!
So happy so many amazing Christian leaders all over the country are promoting this book. Loved the teaser!
Oooooo! I’d love one, too!
Love from near Buffalo!
I would LOOVEE to read this book!! it would be so much fun!!

Yes please! Would love to read that book! Thanks for the opportunity Beth!
You are a hoot, Siesta Mama! Such a needed cheer-up, as I have a dear, sweet church member and her husband heavy on my heart. She was just diagnosed with stage four leukemia earlier in the week. It’s already in three organs, as well. They are a very strong Christian couple and leaders in our church. I’ve been in several ladies’ Bible studies with her, too. I would love to win a copy and share it with the two of them; haven’t had a look at it myself, but “Undaunted” sounds like a topic to encourage & strengthen, which they obviously need right now!
Love to read.
I would love to win one of the books!!
The book sounds really great I am going to download it on my e-reader tonight. The pie sounds really good too I am an avid cook and would love the recipe.
Thanks so much,
Laura
Getting ready to go away on vacation/sabbatical in a couple weeks with my dear husband – would love to be reading this while I’m gone!

Would love to read the book!
Thanks for offering to us Siestas!!
So…if I am last…could the last be first :-)!!!
Seriously, Christine Caine has been such a blessing to me this past year. Days when I thought my identity had died…she had the words and the encouragement for me to keep going! My mom and I had the privilege of hearing her at WOF and my mom said…She preaches the WORD and truth…Would love to have the opportunity to read her book!
Love her! Really want to read this!
I think I need to be ‘introduced’ to Christine Caine … and what better way than with a free book! Does it come with a ‘free’ buttermilk pie, too… those look amazing!
Would love a copy of this book…..Love your Blog!
Ohhhh! Did someone say book!!!!!! I am a read-a-holic!!!!!!! Sounds like a great book as a foster/adoptive mom I could put that book to work!

Yaaay! Im so glad you’re also doing a free give-a-away! I was really hoping to win one when Christine offered 30 on her blog but I didnt win and so fingers crossed that maybe this is my time!!! Christine spoke so highly of you on her blog and so I “attended” your Simlucast in my kitchen and shucks… Wow Beth… Thank you 🙂
Would love to read the book and share it with others!
I love that your messages have rabbit moments. It is exactly how my mom brain works as well!
Sure could use some inspiration for myself and elderly mother.
We’ve both been thru multipe losses in the past few years.
both of us are even too tired to explain further.
Pick me!!!
I’m in Australia so maybe I’m too far away but I’d love this book!!
