Six years ago, I bent the knee and surrendered my life as a
follower of Jesus Christ. God audibly
told me to “give up everything you love and follow Me”. I sold everything I had and gave away what wouldn’t
sell, and I haven’t looked back.
It’s funny because one of the things I loved that I got rid
of was a large collection of books. I
had thousands of the things. I love to
read, but they had to go. As a Christian
I wasn’t really sure how to approach the issue of books. In fact over the past 6 years, I can think of
about 7 books (not including textbooks) that I actually purchased. But my fellow believers have showered books
on me over the years, which I have in turn tried to be faithful and give away
when I finished reading them.
Now thanks to this blog, I have publishers shipping me tons
of books all the time, and my little three-shelf bookshelf is starting to fill
up.
So in honor of my commitment to give up everything I love and
follow Christ, I’m giving away a few of my more recent reads:

Just go through the Form below, enter by whatever means you
want, and remember "Man casts the lot in his lap, but God determines the
outcome" (Proverbs 16:33). Good
Luck!
