I have a growing passion to help others find freedom in discovering who God designed them to be. Since learning who I am in Christ, I have found peace (where I had turmoil) and freedom (where I had bondage). Jesus came to save you and set you free!
As of March 2011, I am no longer updating this blog. Click below to check out my new blog...
The winner of the book giveaway is...Karen Kurtz!
My son just picked the name a few minutes ago, and I was so surprised to see that it was Karen who won, because she is a personal friend of mine. Her name was picked out of 15 entries!
Congratulations, Karen! You are a blessing to me, and you have been a blessing to my whole family. Thank you for your dedicated heart and true heart for Jesus!
I'm really pleased with the participation in this giveaway, so I'm sure that I will be doing it again in a few months. Thank you, everyone, for your participation! I want to get this blog out to as many people as I can, and you are helping me accomplish that!
I recently wrote a post asking what book you would like to have that you don't currently own. I told you that I had a reason for asking...
I'm going to have a book giveaway!
I've seen other bloggers do this and I thought I'd give it a shot, too! I chose one book out of the ones that people wrote to me about on this blog and/or the My Purpose In Him Facebook Page. I'm so excited to share with you the book that I'm going to give away! The book I chose to give to the winner is, "Radical" by David Platt. I never heard about this book before, so I decided to look it up online. Check out this short video by the author of this book.
I have chosen to give this particular book away because (although I have not read it personally) it passionately describes our true purpose in this life, which is to spread the TRUE gospel. Mark 16:15 states, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation". This is an excerpt from what I found on the website, Radical The Book:
"As you read Radical, you’ll discover that this is more than just about digesting a book. This is about an idea – an idea that we were created for far more than a nice, comfortable Christian spin on the American dream. An idea that we were created to follow One who demands radical risk and promises radical reward. An idea that David Platt certainly didn’t come up with, or anyone else in contemporary Christianity, for that matter. It’s an idea that was first expressed in the simple yet radical words from Jesus to his disciples when he said: Follow me..."
Christianity is not about me. It has nothing to do with ME. It has everything to do with Jesus and what He did for us! Thank you, Debbie, for this wonderful book idea! Thank you to the others who also left me comments about their book ideas! I appreciate your input! I'm so excited about this book, that I'm going to get a copy for myself. I think my husband is going to really like it, also!
These are the actions that you can take to participate:
1) "Follow" my blog.
2) "Like" my Facebook page.
3) Write a status post on Facebook sharing the link to my Facebook page.
4) Write a status post on Facebook sharing the link to my blog.
5) Subscribe to my RSS Feed.
You can do one or all of these options. For each action that you complete, please leave me a comment on my "My Purpose In Him" Facebook page or this blog post letting me know what you have done. Each comment you leave me with a new action taken will count as an entry in this contest! Each entry will be added to the drawing, and my son will pick the winner out of a box. (Don't worry... He's only 4, so he can't cheat!) For example, if you complete 5 actions, your name will be counted 5 times.
Why am I doing this??? First of all, I think it will be fun! Who knows how many people will participate, but I think this will be fun no matter what! Also, I'm really trying to get my blog and Facebook page out there for others to read. My heart is in each and every post that I write, and I want to spread what God has given me to as many people as possible. I need your help to do this! I want to see others blessed by God! I want to see people saved, healed and delivered. This has nothing to do with me, because I would have NOTHING without Jesus.
I hope that you are as excited to do this as I am! If I have a good response, I will probably be doing this again! Remember, for each action that you take, please leave me a separate comment on this blog post or "My Purpose In Him" Facebook page!
This contest will be running until Sunday, July 18th at midnight. I will announce the winner on Monday, July 19th!
