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.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer July 24, 2912, having bilateral mas. surgery October 1, 2012. I would love to read this book. Praying that God would burn the bad wood toward me being a survivor.
I’d love to get picked!

of my day when I do get one. 🙂 God bless all of you at LPM…you all
truly are a blessing!!
Yes Ma’am…this slightly strapped missionary would love a free copy of this fabulous book – I’ve been wanting to read it!
I’m going on vacation at the end of October and I would love to win this book! If I remeber correctly from her facebook post, she dedicated the book to her daughters. What an awesome title considering the world we live in. Life is certainly daunting at times and to live “Undaunted” could only be a gift from God.
Thanks for this opportunity!
Love you ladies!!!
Would be so blessed to read it! Please add my name to the drawing!!! :)*
Pick me! Pick me!
Not sure what the book is about but it has to be good!!! Lately we are moving and downsizing after 65 years of life….and I NEED to feel undaunted about it all….getting tired….. need a major boost for what is next in our walk with the Lord!
Please enter my name. I’d love to win a copy 🙂
Would love a copy of that book. I just love Beth Moore! She cracks me up. I would have loved to have been in her aerobics class when she was an instructor. Wouldn’t that have been a blast!
I am a member of a church in Memphis and we get the pleasure of having Christine with us a few times a year. My pastor calls her “the thunder from down under”!!! I would LOVE to have a signed copy of her book. Thanks for the opportunity.
Would love to win a copy…haven’t read anything of hers yet but love Beth!! 🙂
Thank you for such a generous giveaway!
I would love a copy. I’ve never read anything of hers before.
Thanks for loving us – we love you!
I love reading from passionate Christ followers. It inspires me to keep the bonfire alive in my spirit! Would looooove a copy of this book!
I would love to share this book with LA siestas! LA stands for Lower Alabama (Mobile that is)!
Would love to have a copy of the book and a piece of cake please!
I would love to win a copy. I have been pressed on all sides lately, walking undoubtedly through a valley of discouragement. I do know though that God is great. I believe this could be just the thing to lift my spirits and re-ignite the passion that seems to be dim in my heart.
I’m always open to read a new book…Thanks
Love books especially inspiring ones!!!
Beth- you CRACK me up!!! I was in Moline when you were there and I was so blessed by your message and the worship with Travis made my soul sing like never before. Ahh…amazing.
I see you have a lovely book give away and of course I WANT ONE!! I remember seeing Christine Caine at one of Joyce Meyer’s Women’s conferences some years back in St. Louis. I had never heard of her at the time but I loved her instantly.
Thanks for being you and next time I order pizza I just might make mine a “moore-der” too! ha ha Thanks for the laughs today. They are always good for the soul.
Would love to have one, if they aren’t already gone!! Have a blessed weekend!! Love you guys!!
I would love to win this book, especially to share with my neighbor, who is searching for God’s love, and with my sister, who is taking me to see Beth in Long Beach for my birthday next month.
Not sure when the cut off is but I would love to read Christine’s book if my daughters don’t abscond with it first! What an amazing message she has!
Thanks for always thinking of us!

Count me in for the drawing! Love Siestaville!
I would love a signed copy of Christine’s book to start passing through my multigenerational mentoring group, aka Tuesday Girls. Was inspired when hearing Christine speak on the Passion webcast. Can’t wait to read the book! Thanks!
I would so love a copy of the book please!
How do I enter? I’d be thrilled to win one of these books, or for that matter, even some of the left-over pizza. Five sons over here! 😉
I love you Beth, you are my inspiration, and you have changed my life!! I went to my church here in Arlington, Tx for your 2012 Simulcast (sp) earlier this month, and it was the best day of my life 🙂 Thank YOU for the bottom of my heart. I also just got and started your Looking Up Devotional Journal, oh myyyyyyyyy, I just LOVE it. And your books, and everything. YOU are a true blessing!! I wish I could just give you a huge hug!! All the best to you always and God Bless!!!!! I thank the Lord for YOU!! :))
I would love a copy of this book:)
I would love a copy of Undaunted.
I don’t usually win things, but I’d love to at least try for this!! Thanks!
I would love to receive a copy of the book. I’m a missionary in Romania and desperately need some refreshment and fire from the Lord as I’m becoming burned out. It’s been a long and hard 5 years, all to the Glory of God and His joy. I’ve been recently blessed with an amazing Romanian husband and would love to be refreshed, refilled and rest in the Lord’s presence that I can better share the Lord, especially with his family.
Looks like a wonderful Book that I would love to read. Praying that God blesses others through it!
