And The Winner Is…

~ Bob Hayton ~ 3 Comments

It’s been fun hosting my first ever book giveaway contest. I should make the entry question a bit easier next time, but we had 11 contestants. Where else can you get such a good odds at winning?

Okay then, the winner of the Chronological Study Bible (NKJV) by Thomas Nelson Publishers is…..

<drumroll please>

Okay, <keep the drums going> let me first explain the Random.org sequence generator. We had 11 entries, I gave a number to each entrant based on the order in time when they sent me their answers. So the top number will win.

…the winner again is….

…Wendy Domkoski!

She told me she was praying she’d get this. So I’m recruiting her for my personal prayer team now! I’ll contact her and get her snail mail address, and send out her Bible soon.

Thanks again to Kate Etue of Thomas Nelson for providing our prize. Stay tuned for more book giveaways from time to time around here.

UPDATE: The answer is the Feeding of the Five Thousand (Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:32-44, Luke 9:10-17, and John 6:1-15).

Christmas Miscellanies

Wow, we’re talking about Christmas already. Time sure flies!

More and more businesses are removing “Christmas” from Christmas. Happy Holidays from Costco and others…. Personally, however, I’m not too disturbed when our secular nation rejects a Christian holiday. For the first 300 years of Christianity all secular nations rejected all Christian holidays, and they persecuted us to boot.

R.C. Sproul’s radio broadcast Renewing Your Mind is offering daily specials. Yesterday I gave a gift to receive a copy of Sproul’s new kid’s book, The Prince’s Poison Cup. They gave an audio cd of it along with the book. Today, for any gift, you can get a new Christmas music CD (The Word Became Flesh), with narration of the Christmas story. Check it out.

I read an interesting post over at Parchment and Pen challenging many of the traditional trappings to the Christmas story. You think Christ was born in a lonely stable built into a cave away from the town? With no happy relatives there assisting? They say think again. Makes me want to research this topic out even further….

Finally, I’m going to strongly suggest that you stay tuned to BibleGeekGoneWild.com. Shaun Tabatt has an announcement to make this weekend. Something about tons of free book offers in the 12 days before Christmas. It may be in your best interest to follow his blog over the next couple of weeeks 😉 . UPDATE: here’s the link to Shaun’s announcement.
