HUGE GIVEAWAY-PALOOZA!!!

   Posted by: MotherHen   in Books

Do you love books the way I love books? I have a new favorite. The book is Passionate Housewives Desperate for God. This book speaks to a topic very dear to my heart. I think we all struggle with the pressure our culture puts on girls and ladies to conform to the sad model of feminism and me-ism. This book is such an encouragement for wives/moms trying to live a life of Christian purity in the muck and mire feminists call freedom.

So, I’m having a giveaway. Actually, this is the beginning of a HUGE GIVEAWAY-PALOOZA!!!

This giveaway has ended.

Saturday, the 26th of April 2008, I’ll be giving away one copy of the book Passionate Housewives Desperate for God. Please enter by leaving a comment requesting to be entered in the giveaway, one entry per person, with one exception. If you blog about the giveaway and link to my site, you may have an extra entry, be sure to leave another comment telling me you did this, so the Pirates and I can check out your blog. You may enter anytime before supper-time on Friday the 25th. (Because that’s when my blog thinks the new day begins, and I haven’t taken the time to fix it.) The Pirates will randomly draw one winner on Saturday 26th. So you’ll need to be sure and give me your e-mail address. Limited to the continental 48.

Now, for the really exciting part. As a fun way to have a really big kick-off for my blog, I’m going to give away a different book every week in the month of May! All of the books come from Vision Forum, so you know you’ll like them! You may enter each week, same deal as this time, so you’ll wanna blog about it so you can have two entries each time!

Also, if you really like my new header image, please leave a comment to say so. I’m sure you teach your Pirates what to do if they don’t have anything nice to say, so now’s your chance to practice what you preach. I like it, but I also miss the old one. I changed it because this one is in the public domain, and therefore, the right thing to do now that I have advertising. I’m a good girl, I am!♥

This book has been on my wishlist for some time now. Do you have an email subscription set up? I would love to read more, but honestly, it gets so crazy around here it is hard for me to stop by all the places I would like, and I do not get along well with reader services, LOL.

Have a great weekend!
