September 2010 ~ Giveaway #2

***Comments are now closed – winner will be announced September 20th***

Last Monday I started my ‘Birthday-Celebration’. I know, I know, my birthday is still 2 weeks away, but instead of receiving gifts, I thought it would be fun to give them 🙂 …

This week I am giving away another marvelous book. This book is very precious for two reasons: 1) it is signed by the author; 2) Elaine is on a very tough journey right now but continues to encourage others to look to Him for peace.

Yes, this week I am giving away a copy of Elaine Olsen’s book “Peace for the Journey“. I think that we all need a little daily peace these days. You just have to turn on the news to see what I mean (I guess that is why I avoid news altogether).

I just started working through Elaine’s book, but I know that this book will help me find the peace that is not of this world. The first chapter is titled “Peace in the Pardon”. Elaine talks about more in depth what grace means and why it may be tough for people to receive it as a gift.

I really enjoy working through “A Further Pause” at the end of each devotion. Elaine encourages with Scripture passages to explore the topic and answer the questions. What a wonderful way to start or end your day; sitting at His feet 🙂 …

What do you need to do to enter the giveaway? Not much, just leave a comment below and I will draw a winner next week. This giveaway is open until Sunday, September 19th.

The winner from last week’s giveaway is (drum-roll): Laurie Adams from “Women Taking A Stand“.

Have a blessed day and week…See you soon.

  2. Thank you, Iris, for the kind and gracious endorsement. I pray that the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart always be found acceptable in the sight of our Father.

  3. Well I just keep missing up so here goes again.
    My B’day is in 10 days and what a neat idea to give presents away for your B’day. I can’t do it this year but will look ahead to next year. We live on a very small fixed income and have to budget ahead for all things.
    I just started following your blog because of my friend Joan, I am excited to find you.
    Love in Christ,Glenda
