Book Winner

The winner of my book give away is Joe at kuriosblog. Congratulations! I hope you enjoy the book.

I will be posting about another book give away soon, so be looking for it.

Free Book

My husband and I love books. You should see our library!! So we want to share our love with others. (Plus we want to encourage other believers with new books that will help them in their walks with the Lord.) I already told you about his book give away and now I am doing the same!

The book is The Heart of the Cross by James Montgomery Boice and Philip Graham Ryken.

Publisher Review: These 21 devotional readings probe the events surrounding Calvary--especially Jesus' words from the cross--to give a richer understanding of the amazing love that drove Jesus there. This book reminds us that the cross is a vivid reminder of the inexhaustible depths of Jesus' loving, ultimate sacrifice and of our dire need for redemption.

So if you would like to enter the give away, just post a comment and leave me your e-mail address. You can blog about it if you have a blog, post me the link in a comment, and that will get you two entries! Sorry, but you need to live in the USA to win.

The drawing will be held on July 1st.

So if you are interested in possibly winning this then go to Simple for the rules.

Free Audiobook of the Month - The Pilgrim's Progress

John Bunyan was a simple maker and mender of pots and kettles who received very little education. In spite of that, he penned the most successful allegory ever written. He lost his first wife and was imprisoned for twelve years for his compelling-but unlicensed-preaching. Nevertheless, his preaching about the gravity of sin, salvation by grace, the cost of discipleship, perseverance, and the glory of eternal life lives on in the signs and symbols of The Pilgrim's Progress. Embark on a perilous journey with Christian, the lead character, from the City of Destruction to the luminous safe haven of the Celestial City. The journey will encourage you to "set your hope fully on the grace to be given you" amidst the obstacles of life.

Just go HERE add the download format of The Pilgrim's Progress to your cart and then use the coupon code JUN2008 during checkout to receive your free download.

Well...I did it!

Last night I went grocery shopping and I got some of the reusable shopping bags at Wal-Mart. I shop for most of the month, so we usually have a lot of groceries and last night was no exception. I admit I was skeptical, but I got some to see how much would fit. I was surprised and very excited with my purchase. Almost all of my groceries fit into five bags!! I was very happy.  

The tag on the bag said:

* 100% recyclable

* is made from 85% recycled material

* is made with approximately 4 plastic soda bottles

* can replace 50 plastic shopping bags

* can carry the same weight as 2-3 plastic shopping bags

1 Million Reusable Bag Give Away

I admit I am not a very Green person. I do want to take care of the earth for I know that is part of our calling to have dominion over all tings, but I am not an extremist. I thought this was a good idea from Wal-Mart. Here is what they are doing. I am not sure how that would work for all my groceries. We usually have a lot, but it is worth a try!

As part of Earth Month 2008, Wal-Mart will be giving away a million custom-made reusable shopping bags on Saturday, April 19 at 8AM Local Time.*

Plastic bags can take as long as 1,000 years to degrade. Wal-Mart sells reusable shopping bags made from recycled materials you can use instead, for just $1.
