  1. I like Hope Runs: An American Tourist, a Kenyan Boy, a Journey of Redemption and would love the Hallmark Journal.

  2. There are a couple on my summer reading list! Especially surprised by motherhood. Since I am shocked and surprised everyday. Haha, like when my baby’s diaper leaked all over my brand new dress at my sister in laws wedding this weekend. During the ceremony so I had hours to wear it. And I’m not talking about pee. Totally surprised haha.

  3. I love to read! I have been really wanting to read Surprised by Motherhood.
    I actually saw it at Lifeway last week, but had to tell myself to focus on buying teacher gifts 🙂 I meant to pick it up to buy before I checked out and forgot, so I have been kicking myself all week!

  4. Jesus Feminist! I was gifted the book Love Idol by the author’s sister! Fun giveaway!!!

  5. Hi! The books for this giveaway are mostly for moms and I’m not yet a mom (I’m only 18 and I’m not planning to be a mom sooner hihi) but I guess the books are really great to read. I really can’t choose one book that I’d most likely to read first but I’m torn between Finding Spiritual Whitespace: Awakening Your Soul to Rest and Love Idol: Letting Go of Your Need for Approval – and Seeing Yourself through God’s Eyes. I’m still a student and with all the stress with school and the pressure of having a fast paced environment gives me the idea that I “do not have much time” to do other things especially in letting my spiritual relationship with God grow further. By reading this book, I think it will give me the enlightenment that I need the most. Also, having too much exposure in all media platforms and living in a much judgemental world gives me the impression of having to prove something to others, or do the things that will make other people glad that I almost forgot the real essence of living: to do things according to God’s will. And if there is someone that I need to impress, I think it’s God. Also, this book will help me to bring back my connection to God and make it stronger. 🙂

    Take care and God bless! 🙂

    xx, Anna.
