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.
Your simulcast preaching at Faith Baptist in Ontario, Canada was a blessing to my wife. (Jan Provence)
God bless you Beth Moore!
I would love a free book.
Any books left? Would love one.
I would love to have a chance at this book! Actually, I would prefer the plagarized signature should the missing book reappear but I’m not picky. 🙂 By the way, I was at the Sovereign Center for the simulcast! I can’t thank you enough for coming to my home state. It was life-changing indeed. Keep doing what your doing! 🙂
Oh, Beth, you are too much!!! How about sending me a book and a piece of that cake!!!
Love you, your staff and all that you do.
Judy
I’m looking for a good book to read…. 🙂
Same named women should receive priority 🙂
I haven’t heard of Christine Caine before now, but just the title of the book makes me want to read it.
Sounds like an awesome book!
Oh how I would to shared this book with my fellow Siestas here in a Fort Worth. I hope I win a copy. P.S. I felt like I was floating after your recent simulcast. Thank you to your team for organizing it. Wow. I had chill bumps just thinking of all the ladies around the world who were worshiping at the same time and is GI true same song. That was powerful. Thank you again.
I am in week 3 of James Mercy Triumphs and it is a blessing everyday!!
Would love to have the book – been feeling like that soaking wood!
Thanks for the chance to win. Would love to read this book!
Ok… Where have I been that I missed out on Christine? Thank you for the opportunity to win her new book! I would love to have a chance to read it and get to know her through her writing!
I hope I am a Siestas! I love being a part of your ministry! You have blest my heart in so many ways and God has used you through the Word to bring me through some VERY difficult times! From my daughters drug addiction to my husbands affair. But, I know that my God is in the restoration business! You help me, stay focused on that! I would have loved to had the book but I am able to buy it so I would rather another have it!
Thank you for always thinking of us! Would love a copy of the book!
I would love a copy! Christine speaks at my church here in Memphis at least twice a year and we love when she comes!
Who doesn’t need a fresh realization that God wants to use us in His work here no matter what age we are? He’s never done with us! I hope this book inspires many.
Love to hear about new reads!! Would love a copy!
This sounds like a great book! Sign me up! 🙂
Pick me!!! Pick me!!! LOL I would LOVE to be chosen to receive this book! Not only would it be special because it was recommended by Beth but signed by the author! How cool is that???
Would love to have a new book to begin the winter reading season!
Oh, how did you know I was currently in a book famine??? (Says the woman who is typing this comment surrounded by overflowing bookshelves…)I need a good NEW read, and especially one that feeds my soul!
Books and Beth Moore Bible Studies are my thing! I’d love a copy of this book. Thanks Beth for your words of encouragement.
Shoot-a-monkey. Did I miss it? Love chasing rabbits with you Beth! If I’m not too late, I’m in! :o)
If it’s not too late, please throw my name in for the give-a-way. A friend saw Christine this past weekend in St. Louis and is raving about the book. Can’t wait to read it!
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! I’d love to win! And, now, at 9:00 a.m., as I sit in my office, I am STARVING for pizza, pasta, and texas sheet cake!
I would love a copy of that book. I am really starting to figure out this relationship with God thing and can’t get enough of these amazing books. I love your story. So reminds me of my life! 🙂
Always happy for a chance to Win:)
Would like a copy.
To be clear,
Question: How do we get a copy?
Answer: enter you email address.
Is that right?
Would love a copy to add to my MUST READ stack! Oh and we love us some of that pizza from that local shop. We always over order too! Guess we could call it a “Mooder”! 🙂
Although I love my Kindle for some things – books are my first love (as far as books go anyway) – and this one sounds great! (Jesus has the top spot, of course!)
Thanks for the opportunity to submit my name into the hat.
(And how about passing along that buttermilk pie recipe? Some of my favorite blogs are when we exchange recipes for the holidays….)
I’m probably too late but I’m going to give it a shot! Here’s my entry.
Please send Lindsee my love, I never for a moment thought she had it! (wink wink) but if you find book #20, maybe I could borrow it after Lindsee & you sign it?
Thank you for the fun update & pictures, it really brightened my morning!
I’d love to win! =)
Beth since our time together the 15th I am still in an all out state of being overwhelmed:) (in a good way)I wish I had the space to tell you everything that happened to our group that weekend but I’d need more space than I have here. Let’s just say we all agreed that you were looking right at us and your message was for our little group!!
Thanks for being so open and willing to listen to the voice of God directing you. Keep speaking boldly, we are listening!!!
Oh siesta mama! This girl NEEDS this book! I “accidentally” heard Christine speak once and she blew me away! I promise to read it, absorb it and pass it on. Pick me! Pick me! (see me jumping up and down with both hands in the air!!!) 🙂
I would love a copy of this book.I definitely feel
I have been sitting in water.And no matter what I do.can’t seem to move.
I would adore a copy! The missing, yet found, one would be fun! 🙂
I love reading your blog. Glad to know I’m not alone in the world of random, rabbit chasing, thoughts, over ordering, & over baking!

Oh why not! Please enter me in the drawing! I am doing your new Breaking Free study with 3 other ladies and we are absolutely loving it! I love the story about the rattlesnake and having a gun and having scripture to combat Satan instead of a “beautiful sunrise” or something! Love, love, love your story telling!
So, I’m with you in shooting Satan’s head off with the Word of God!!
Love a good book!
I heard Christine speak at Passion 2012 with our college group. Would love a signed copy of her new book. Beth – you crack me up!
