a gift for me, a gift for you



Lana gave it to me for my birthday
way back in September
but I still haven't actually received it,
because it was just (finally!) released yesterday.


I wanted to give a copy to one of you
but I was going to wait 'til I had the book in my hands,
you know,
so I could decide for sure that ya'll would like it and want one.
I've discovered, though,
that the first two weeks of a book's sales 
are crucial to the longterm success of the book.
duh ~ of course that would be the case....
So,
rather than waiting to peruse my own copy,
and because, really,
I'm quite sure One Thousand Gifts would bless
pretty much anyone,
I'm going to go ahead
and gift a copy right now!
Not my birthday book, mind you,
your very own brand spankin' new copy.
~
To be entered in the drawing for
One Thousand Gifts
simply leave a comment
telling me if you've been anxiously waiting for Ann's book
or
 if this is the first you've heard of it.
I suppose you could have heard of it
but not been eagerly awaiting it's release...
Naw, not likely.

Sunday afternoon sounds good;
I think we'll draw the winner then.

  8. I was just reading at Heart to Heart with Holly and she was talking about this book. The more I read the reviews and hear it mentioned, the more I feel I should read it - a turning and softening of the heart is needed . So no matter what QL, this goes on my wish list to own and read. I'm so glad you told us about it.
    Fondly, BL

  9. she's written a couple things, Bekah, but i think this is her first of this sort of book... she has a great blog - aholyexperience.com
    sometimes very thought provoking, sometimes inspiring, pretty much always beautiful

  10. A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are...I think that is the subtitle. It caught my attention when I was reading the review on Amazon. That sounds lovely. Don't you think we can get so caught up in the "when this happens" in the future and we don't live everyday life like we should? (Does that make any sense?)
    Count me in!
