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.
It would be really great to receive a copy of this book!
What a wonderful story! I would love to get a book autographed or plagarized! thanks!
Fun post! The book looks interesting too!!
This book sounds wonderful and I would love to have one! Those baked goods looked wonderful! Love to have the recipes for the new additions to your Texas chocolate sheetcake. Please share with the siestas!
Anne Lewis
What a wonderful story to brighten my day! I would love the book! Sign me up!!
I am praying to be blessed with one of the books
Would love to read this book!
i would so dearly love to own this book. my sister has been raving about Christine ever since attending the Women of Faith conference which I had to miss due to having clinicals that weekend (i just started nursing school this fall!)
love y’all dearly! thanks for being God’s channels of inspiration!
It would be fantastic to win this book. Thanks so much!!
Yes, PLEASE! I’m a grad student with a few months to go before I finish so I can’t promise I’d read it instantly, but it would definitely be at the top of my list after crossing the stage to get my diploma in December!
good morning, beth! i just love your posts. 😀 your encouragement is a blessing. thank you!!
Are all the books gone? Would love a copy:)
What a fun story – I, too, have major issue with ordering TOO MUCH FOOD and the book looks awesome!! Thanks for the giveaway. Your blog makes me smile 🙂
That chocolate Texas cake looked delicious! Thank you for this blog that uplifts my soul and challenges me to dig deeper into the Word. Thank you for the sense of community found here with The Siestas. Please enter me in the drawing.
I would love a copy of this book!
Pick me..pick me!!
Thanks for the opportunity!!
Hugs!!
Love hearing your heart each time! Totally blessed!
I’d love a copy. But, even more I have an unspoken request tobask you to pray. Thank-you.
*to ask..divine intervention
How Wonderful!! I heard Christine at Women of Faith this year in OKC. She has quite an inspiring story. Such a strong woman!!
Beth,
Today is the first day I have ever read your blog and I am SO excited to have found it! I love your bible studies! I would be ecstatic to receive a copy of Christine Caine’s Book UNDAUNTED. I am always interested in reading new things.
Thanks for being you & may the Lord continue to bless Living Proof Ministries!!
Kristi Thetford
How do we sign up for the drawing? I would love to win one for my sister. She is a big fan of Christine Caine!
Thank-you for the opportunity to win this book; I would love to read it and pass it on to others. Think how many people will actually end up reading these 19 or 20!!!
I would love to get a copy of this book! What a blessing to be able to give good things away. We have a ministry to International students studying at the local university, and we’re always looking for materials to convey the truth of Scripture in a clear and simple way. How appropriate a title for those going back to countries where the gospel cannot be openly preached or to countries where there are few believers with whom to have community.
Sounds like a great book that I need to read!
I love you so much Beth and I totally agree that if a little is good, more is better! I would love to be in the drawing!! 🙂
Would love to win her book!
Looks like a great book
I would love a copy of this book…I am truly amazed at how the Lord has been working since our time together on September 15! As you said I am beginning to say who is this person and what are you doing in me Lord! Thanks for posting the prayer you said over us, it was so encouraging, I am sure I will refer to it often…Lord Bless you!
Would love to have a copy…my friend already as her copy 🙂
Please! This is not a coincidence…Just yesterday I watched an online video of a message by Christine Caine speaking in Florida. A friend had been telling me I HAD to watch this particular service from her sister’s church…the message was for ME! And she was right!
I too would love to receive a copy of this book! From that one page it sounds very interesting. Draw me draw me draw me!!! 🙂
The good Lord had blessed yet again! This time the blessing of a new “job” as Director of Children and Youth at my home church! I dare say I shall not be Undaunted!
God bless and thank you!
Love a good book! Pick Me! Pick Me! OOH…jumping…ooh, ooh….over here!!! Hello!!!
Yes, I believe “Undaunted” would be just the “read I need” right now. I promise I will share with my Siestas and Bible study sisters! Love you so….
I would love to fire up this wood soaked soul.
I am not familiar with this author and would love a free book!
🙂
I would love to have a chance to win this book! It absolutely looks amazing! Thanks so much Siestas! Much love to you all! 🙂

Although I do not know anything about this book, I love the word, undaunted! I really want that word to describe my character before God. Would love to read this book!
Would love a chance to win and a much needed read!
I would love to receive a copy of “Undaunted”. xo
I would love a copy! Sounds like a good book:) Christy
I would love to be entered to win this book, even book #20 with it’s unique autographs.;) We don’t have Christian bookstores here, in Luxembourg, and I find it very difficult to know when something fabulous comes out. Thank you for sharing great finds for reading, encouragement and growth because then I know what to search Amazon for. Love the laughter and stories you share, it’s great to have this moment of iron sharpening iron and sisterhood in the dry and desolate land in which I live reside.
I would love to have a copy of this book 🙂
Thanks for the “rabbit trail”, Beth–so fun to know someone else’s brain works like mine sometimes!
I would love one of those books! I’m a major reader, and have been unemployed since January so my book budget has been nonexistent. I’m in the process of reading every book in my house in the meantime (I’m not even close to finishing), but I would love something new!
I would love to have a copy! I hope I’m not too late to respond!
Would love to be entered in the draw. Thanks for the opportunity!
Hope I’m not too late. Thanks
You ladies (Beth & Christine) inspire millions of to seek God’s will, love, and word. I would be honored to be the recipient of Undaunted and be enriched. To Him be the glory for inspiring your words.
In His Love & mine <3
I would love to have a copy! Thank you for giving 19 copies our way. You are a blessing to so many, thanks!
Oh how i would love to have that book for my fall read!!!
