My friend Shaun Tabatt, of Bible Geek Gone Wild, has far too many books. So he’s giving a few away this Thanksgiving weekend. Sometime on Sunday Nov. 29th, winners will be selected to receive the six books he’s giving away. So be sure to go over and comment on his post for a chance to win. He’s giving away some good titles, you’ll want to go take a peek. Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you all! And thanks, Shaun, for some book giveaway fun.

Chronological Study Bible — Book Giveaway
With the completion of my review for the Chronological Study Bible (NKJV) by Thomas Nelson Publishers, I can now announce my book giveaway. Compliments of Kate Etue, publicist for Thomas Nelson, I was given a second copy of this excellent study Bible.
I will send this copy out to a US resident, who can answer the following question correctly.
Which is the only event from Jesus’ ministry preceding his last week in Jerusalem, that is reported in all four New Testament Gospels?
Only one answer per person. I’ll draw a name from a hat, to decide the winner of this contest. That drawing will take place Tuesday night, so be sure to enter and spread the word. Update: please enter using this contact form, thanks (so we don’t give away the answer).
Jesus is Alive – Shai Linne
I thought I’d start out my blogging this year with something fun. I’ve been shown this video clip a few times now, and I thought it would be great to share it with you all.
Shai Linne is a Christ-centered, reformed rapper. The lyrics to this song will challenge and encourage you. I encourage you to give it a try, you’ll find that holy hip hop isn’t so scary. Especially the variety that Shai Linne and Timothy Brindle and company dish out. Check out their label: Lampmode Records.
My Christmas Rhyme
This is day 2 of Bible Geek Gone Wild’s 12 Days of Christmas promotion. I’ve already won one free book, and am trying for some more.
I’d encourage everyone to stay tuned to Shaun’s blog these next 11 days, because I hear the prizes to be had (mostly lots of free books compliments of many fine Christian book publishers) are many and worthwhile.
Shaun has been keeping us all on our toes, as entering the contests aren’t as simple as leaving a comment. Yesterday we had to share a Christmas memory. Today you have to answer a brief Bible trivia quiz, or come up with a short (2-6 lines) Christmas poem (or rhyme, or jingle). You can do both today since there are two contests. I’m wondering, are there three contests tomorrow??
Well, I’d be fine with no one else entering these contests as I’d love to hog all the free books for myself. But it IS Christmas after all! So join in the fun and try your hand at a Christmas jingle today, or if you don’t see this post until Monday, I’m sure there will be some challenging means of entering a contest that you can have fun with then….
So here’s my Christmas rhyme entry. If you have a short one of your own, share it in the comments here after you get done submitting it for the contest.
All the joys of Christmas time–
Decorations and the pine,
Friends and loved ones gathering,
Gifts and cheer and caroling–
May these not avert our gaze.
Ponder Christ the babe, and praise!
