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.
Would love to get a copy. Was in Christian bookstore today buying something for my neighbor thinking I must get this book next visit. How ironic if I win. Thanking God in advance by faith
Your blog blesses me more than I can say. If I win this book I’m sure it will bless me as well. Thank you soooooo much!!!
First time JERSEY GIRL siesta blog writer here! (I did write in for the simulcast contest though). Not a whole lot of us Christians in the north east. Makes me want to move to Texas! Being the salt and light… Xoxo k
If I am not too late, count me in on the drawing. 🙂 I could use some fresh fire!
I would love a copy of Christine’s book! And I’m just tickled over (not) Lindsee taking it. grin.
Am I too late??
Would love to win, but just so appreciate this safe place! Cindy
I have been wanting to read this. I would love to win!!!
I would love to win this book! Thanks!!
I’d love a copy of this book. I’d even let it slip to the top of my reading list above my required reading for school (don’t tell my professors at moody!)
Always need a great book to read! Maybe this is my lucky day, if not I’ll have to look for it on the bookstore shelves!
I plan on reading this one either way but I sure do love free!!
I’m home recouping from knee surgery, would love a good book to read!
You can’t leave us hangin like that…about that last dessert!
I heard her at Passion!! So great!!! Would love a copy!
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…………..THAT sounds like me…..soaking in water for months!!!
So need something to fire me up right now.
I think this book would be amazing!!! I am putting my name in the hat!
Sincerely,
Kari
Does feeling like you have been in a desert for ages qualify as water soaked in wood that needs igniting? If so, I would dearly love to win a copy of this book.
Thanks for the book recommendation.
Kimberly,
ID
would love to read this book!
Would love a copy!
Beth, As usual you are the sweetest to think of us. I am definitely in for this drawing. Great story about the book thief. You will let us know the rest of the story when the book reappears? Too funny! Love you, Lynda
Love hearing from Mama Beth and pictures too! An autographed copy of Undaunted would be a blessing praying I am blessed #20.
Can’t wait to read this book!
Beth – I love this post. You are so generous – and not just with pizza orders! Those buttermilk pies look delicious – I’m so impressed with your homemade crust! You are every woman.
Love to you and your family!

I love and appreciate both you and Christine Caine so much! I love her heart, passion, and vision for standing up for the cause of justice and rescuing and restoring victims of human trafficking! I’d love to hear Christine’s story, the A21 Campaign, and learn more about how I can get involved in the fight to put an end to human trafficking and modern-day slavery. You both inspire me greatly, and I’d love to win a signed copy of Undaunted! Thank you for the giveaway!
Pick me!! ;)))
I heard Christine speak at the Leadership Summit last year and was challenged by her story. I’d love to read more about her.
I dearly love a great book!
I’m needing a great book to fire me up, this sounds like a good one! Blessings!
Awaiting the arrival of our baby, this book looks like some excellent reading during the newborn schedule & long hours of nursing awaiting me for the next few weeks!
I have been wanting / needing to get my hands on a copy….. love Christine and her testimony…. incredible!
It must have been the night for “over ordering” pizza! I was taking pizza to my daughter to surprise her at the dorm for her birthday! I had her friends on board with the surprise, or so I thought, and arrived with pizza and birthday cake in hand….get the whole picture…8 pizzas and 1/2 sheet cake! Basketball team had practice, another group had been detained and instead of feeding 50….I fed 25! And yes, I too took pizza to share with everyone at work….and we delivered pizza to the guys dorm too! All in all, I think my daughter still had a blessed birthday! If the books are not all gone, I would love one!
Oh, I would love to win this book! Thank you for the opportunity to be in the drawing! Blessings to you!
oooo, pick me, pick me!
Oh! Just saw Vhristine at Women of Faith and she is a little fireball of energy!! Amazing heart and such sound reasoning and thought. What a gem! Would love to read her words!
I would love to win this book!!! Thank you!!!
I’m in for sure!!
I saw Christine two years ago here in Dfw at PINK! She was so full of the Holy Spirit!!
I would love to read her book!! 🙂
Definitely on my must read list!
I would really love a copy of the book!
Would love to have this book! Love you guys : )
I would LOVE to have this book!!! Saw Christine at WOF in Des Moines! I was amazed at how much anointing could come in such a small package! Love her!
You girls are just too much fun! Would love to spend a day in your office. It would be such a switch from my usual place of work (though we have fun, too)!
Would like a copy of this book to read and pass on! Thank you!
I actually am expecting my copy of Christine’s book to arrive ANY day, and I plan to lead a study through it beginning in November, but…if I win the copy, I will be sharing it with someone who can’t afford to buy a copy.
On another note, I’m praying for you as you prepare for this weekend, Beth. One of my very best friends in the world, Shannon, will be leading into your teaching at KidMin. She lives in Colorado, and I live in Illinois, and we study your studies (and others) together despite the distance. We hold each other accountable in our private Facebook group and through daily texts. She and I challenge each other to grow in Christ…even in the midst of the junk of our lives. She often says I’m an angel God sent at just the right time for her, but mentoring and encouraging her has been more beneficial to me than I can ever imagine being for her. God is so good to guide and provide! Hug her neck for me! She is an absolute bundle of energy for Jesus! It’s all REAL! She puts on no act; she’s just cheering others on through this life because it’s the only way she knows how to live for Jesus! 🙂
I would also love a copy.
I would love a new good book to read.
Better to have too much of a good thing than not enough!!! 🙂 I would be thrilled to be entered into the drawing if still available! Time with good friends and family is the best – can’t wait until we all celebrate together with our ever loving Heavenly Father and our perfect Big Brother, Jesus 🙂 Hugs everyone~ Sandy
I have been eyeballing this book for sometime now & hoping to get my hands on a copy! Yay for a Giveaway!!
Can I just say… I’d love to get my hands on one of those “Moore-der” of Pie, cause that looks YUMMM-MMMYY!!
Love you guys,
Hollie (aka: Groovewoman)
