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.
Since I saw her speak at Passion, I’ve had a heart for what God is doing through Christine Caine and I listen to her whenever I can! I’d love to get my hands on one of her books and even if I don’t win, I’m bettin’ I will! But how great to have a signed copy – no matter who’s doin’ the signin’!!
It is always best to have too much as not to have enough! And you shared – that was good. I would like to enter my name to win the book “Undaunted”. Thank you for all you do for all of us. Your studies continue to help me, I am going through the Living Beyond Yourself study again. I have kept all my workbooks and they are like treasures to me. May God continue to bless you and your ministry!
Today is my birthday, and can’t wait to read this book, so I would love to win a copy!
HI! My name is Jennifer F from Canada – can you mail up to Canada? I hope so! OH thank you for this! I am entering a season of getting the fire going again, so would love to win a book thank you!
I would love to win! I’m always looking for a fun, new educational read!
Oh … mememememememememememememememememememememeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Please pick me.
Love you all so much.
I wanna work at LPM when I grow up (and when my man finally ends this dadgum northern vacation we have been stuck on for 6 years!!!)
Where do I sign up??? I want a copy badly! I have been waiting to get a copy but just haven’t had the cash yet to purchase it. Thanks for the opportunity Beth!
I ALWAYS have too much food! Better too much than not enough! I prefer to bake too! How about the recipe for the 5 flavor pound cake? Hope Lindsee enjoyed the book while on vacation!
Although that does appear to have been an…enthusiastic dinner order (ha!) I’m of the you-can-never-have-too-much-dinner school of thought when serving guests. Yaay! for boy teenagers who will eat any(every)thing!
And Yaay! for giveaways of such wonderfulness! I’ve had my eye on this book for the last couple of weeks 🙂
Feel so broken. Need something.
I love this! My BFF and I harass the pants off of each other for buying way too much food when we have guests over. We are well known for saying things like, “no, you don’t need 30 lbs of pork roast, there are only ten people coming,” or, “I don’t think 8 people can drink twelve two-liters of pop and two gallons of milk.”
I want one!!! I love your posts! You constantly bring a smile to my face first thing in the morning!
Beth,
Sounds like a great evening! I have a special place in my heart for Australians, having the blessing of living there for two years. I would love to read “Undaunted”. Thank you and your team for a wonderful simulcast and your prayer over us.

I’m not registering to get one of the copies of this new book, but I had to jump on and say I just ordered “Undaunted” for my Kindle. I also am leaving for vacation and ordered several new books for my Kindle. Am looking forward to reading this one first thing.
I would love a copy of the book. Thank you for remembering your siestas. It is wonderful to know that we are on your mind and in your heart.
From a Siesta who needs a little firing up:)
Well throw my name in the hat for the drawing! I would love to soak that up!
Hilarious!! Thank You for thinking of us. A Buttermilk Pie sounds like a great Thanksgiving treat. How about sharing your recipe with your baking challenged Siestas?
The desserts look wonderful, and so close to my heart. We always have way too much food at my house. I grew up in a house with 6 kids, and have not learned how to cook for less yet. I would love a good read – Thank you!!!
Thanks for all the laughs you give us…I love reading your blog, and would love to have a copy of the book.
Good morning!
I am at home with bronchitis and a new book to savor would be perfect. Have a blessed day. . .
Fun! I’d like to enter! Lindsay Neagle – Bangor, Maine
Oh please I would love to have a copy of that book!
I love Christine Caine and would love to read this book!
Could use an extra “spark” in my fire! – Denise,Ocean Springs,MS
O I admire her so much!!! I plan on getting the book-but who knows an autographed copy would be an extra blessing!

Oh how I would love a book! I am sitting at my desk early this morning – getting a whisp of what words God has for me today… The title and description and utube video intro of the book – Undaunted – rang through my bones. I have been ravidly searching for what God truely wants me to do and praying for insight. It has been my prayer now for several years. I am here, LORD, show me the unlikely to do the unimaginable! There is currently turmoil in my workplace and wicked hurting that so needs His healing touch – my hope is that that blessed touch of HIS will be somehow stretched out through me. I love your ministry Beth. You have been such a blessing to me! Thank you for being His beloved instrument! I love you!

You show how fun can be part of a Christians life – SUch joy. I would love to get a copy of CHristines book- I want so much all of wht God has for me.
Oh Beth! What a fun post! I dearly love your rabbit chasing. I would also dearly love a copy of Christine’s book, and if I don’t win one, I’ll just have to head over to Amazon to pick one up… but an autographed copy would be so much cooler!! Thanks, Beth.
What a fun post! Sounds like a great book.Looking forward to reading it.
PICK ME! PICK ME!! PICK ME!!!
Thanks for a fun giveaway. I would love to read this book!!
I am just wondering if Buttermilk Pies are a Southern thing? I can honestly say I have never heard of them. But they look so good!
Thanks for a great laugh this morning! I needed it. 🙂
Would love to be put in the drawing for the book. When I win I’ll order pizza to celebrate.
Hugs,
Becky in San Antonio
p.s. Started James at our church and am loving it!!!
I know that women are hungry for healing, value and purpose. Christine’s book can be the catalyst for every woman to be bold and courageous and take necessary steps towards freedom in Christ.
Be blessed,
Monica
Please pick me for the “Undaunted” giveaway 🙂
I’d like to win a copy!
As I sit here trying to plan a menu/grocery list for family that will be visiting tomorrow, lots of pizza sounds better and better. 🙂
I would love a copy of the book. Thanks for the opportunity.
My mouth is watering for the Texas sheet cake! Growing up my Mom made that cake and we all call it “fellowship cake”, not being from Texas and all, but always had it for a crowd. I am hoping for a signed copy of the book Undaunted! Going through a “dry season” now and wanting to read everything I can get my hands on to nourish this soul from the Lord. Can’t wait to see!

I sooo need a “firing up” right now. I would love a copy of this book. Thanks for the opportunity to win it. This is so much fun. Yea!!
Girl!
Did I miss how the giveaway works in your post??
This Arkansas girl living in Costa Rica would absolutely love a copy!
Y’all are so funny – thanks for giving me a good chuckle this morning! I would love to win a copy of the book – real or forged signature! 🙂
Oh me please. 🙂
You never have guests over to your house without some homemade cake or pie. Just like me you were raised a true southern woman. Or maybe it’s an Arkansas thing. (My parents are from Bismarck, AR – just the other side of Arkadelphia.
I would love to be entered in the drawing. Hope this is the right place to do that! 🙂
I would love to read Christine’s book and then pass it along to my girlfriends. How are you able to bake goodies like that and stay your gorgeous, little self. I love that you chase rabbits. If not we would not get to feel as if you are our next door neighbor and love everything about it.
Dear Beth, I love that you are so fun! And as an avid reader who hopes to be on vacation in two weeks – I would be happy to have this in my suitcase. I’m totally intrigued by the title. Thanks for thinking of us!
I NEED one! I love books and I love books that inspire me. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for a giveaway. I’m new to the site!
