Cool Christmas Giveaway

***THIS GIVEAWAY HAS NOW ENDED. AFTER THE WINNER HAS BEEN REACHED, I WILL ANNOUNCE HIM OR HER IN A SEPARATE POST.***

UPDATED to change giveaway end date from December 12th to December 7th. I realized I have something going on every day next weekend and that might not work out so well. :-)

Well, it’s that time of year. Lysa TerKeurst is again doing the Cool Christmas Giveaway, and I am signing on to participate. If you would like to sponsor a giveaway, go to Lysa’s site at the link posted above for more information. Or, if you haven’t already visited her site and are interested in the chance to win great prizes just in time for Christmas, well then, click away. Now on to my giveaway.

When I read earlier in the week that Lysa was going to do this and that lots of people had already posted about some of the great giveaways they were going to do, I admit I got a little panicked. I was feeling somewhat stymied about what I should offer. I started thinking about it…and thought…and thought. And, finally it hit me.

I was sitting at my computer looking around our study when my eyes landed on my brand spanking new New Living Translation Chronological Bible that I ordered special to participate in Wendy Pope’s reading through the Bible in a year that begins on January 1, 2009. You can read more about that here.

As I sat there staring at the Bible, I wondered if maybe there were those out there who wanted to participate but didn’t feel they could afford the cost of the Bible. Maybe you aren’t one of those people. Maybe you already have your Bible and are anxiously anticipating the thrill of participating in this journey next year. Do you know someone who needs to come along for the ride?

If you win the Bible, please keep it for yourself as my gift to you, or, if you feel led to do so, pass it on with an invitation to join us as we read through the Bible in a year.

Whether it’s you or someone you know, I pray that this Bible will find its way into the hands of the person who needs it. A picture of the Bible can be seen below. It is a hardback version.

I will run the giveaway through Sunday, December 7th, at 12:00pm EST. All you need do to enter is leave a comment. Please include your email or blog address so that I can contact you if you are the winner. If I have not heard from the winner by Monday, December 8th, I will select a new winner.

Thank you for participating, and Merry Christmas!

Blessings,

    What better gift to give than the Living Word?!?! After all the other gifts get forgotten the Word of the Lord remains the center of our lives!

    Thank you for entering me, I would love to win this Bible. If I win, I will keep it myself–is that selfish?

    I hope you will stop by and enter my giveaway, too!

    Hi Dawn:

    Having been unemployed for 7 months and counting, I cannot afford to purchase much of anything, much less a new Bible. I feel like God is really trying to draw me closer to Him through some very difficult circumstances. Having a guided plan to read through the Bible is just what I need. Please enter me in your giveaway.

    Blessings,
    Jenn

    This looks like a great way to start the new year. I have a goal to read through the entire Bible (again) before my 40th birthday in October. I got off to a good start, but I’ve really fallen behind. :(
