It's time...for a give-away! This week, we have two copies of Nancy Rue's book, "Healing Waters." I personally read this book a few months back and absolutely loved it. Two copies mean...TWO WINNERS!
If you could have lunch with one person (currently living!), who would it be? Remember, if you don't have a blog profile, leave an email. We'll draw a winner in one week!

I would have lunch with my mom. She lives in another state and I don't get to see her very often. Sometimes I just need my mom's physical presence instead of talking via the phone or e-mail!
Well...you. I just found your site and I'm very excited to read your book 5 Conversations. I have 3 daughters the oldest is 7. As you well know all of her girlfriends are in to H. Montanna, HSM, & The Jonas... It diturbs me that the parents that I have had casual conversation with feel that the subject matter represented is harmless. I just don't believe that dating & prom issues are appropriate for (in my case) a 7 year old.
You or Elizabeth George. You both are my favorite Christian authors.
There are a lot of TV and Movie stars I would like to meet but none I would want to sit down and spend time visiting.
My husband! It's very rare that we get a lunch date!
parker_4@comcast.net
Absolutely Elizabeth Elliot. What an honor that would be!
Honestly, I would love to have lunch with YOU! I am completely overwhelmed by the task of raising my girl to be a Godly woman, and I would love to pick your brain!
My daughter's birthmother. :-)
"T"...post my initial if I win and I'll send you my e-mail address. :-)
Beth Moore!
pbradley23@gmail.com
I would like to have lunch with Beth Moore or Franklin Graham.
I would have lunch with Alistair Begg. He is a pastor out of Cleveland that I just love to listen to. He has changed my world in regards to my faith.
Sandy
slchapin@gmail.com
I have to agree with some of the other women on here.. I would have to flip a coin between you & Beth Moore. The only problem is a lunch would not be long enough.
Maybe even Condi Rice or Bobby Flay.. but onlt if he is cooking.
jennifer.willis.h7ha@statefarm.com
Goodness, what a tough question! I don't have the name of a person, but I'd love to have lunch with a mom who has walked through the highs and lows of having a child with a behavior disorder. Us mommies need encouragement and advice sometimes!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I have an aunt who I haven't seen in years. She is almost 90 and the sweetest, smartest, most Godly Southern woman you could ever meet!
President George W. Bush so I could thank him for being a man of integrity and principal, for doing the right thing even when it wasn't popular. I would also like to hear what kept him sane during the last eight years.
Allison Krause. She's incredibly real and a lovely person, not to mention she sings like an angel.
There's so many, but I think I'd have to say Pres. Obama. I'd like to ask him some questions to know why, as a Christian, he has taken the liberal stance. I would use my time with him to pray with him & hope he sees the oppression of the unborn & changes his mind about abortion!
Wow... to choose... George W. Bush would be one.. just to know what REALLY happened behind closed doors. I still admire him and I'd like him to know it. I'd love to meet with Beth Moore or Elizabeth Elliot as well. Their both phenomonal women. As for a personal friend, my friend Nikki.. She lives a few states away and she is such a blessing to me!
I'd love to have lunch with George Bush - he's definitely made some mistakes, but he did his best, and I was disappointed in the cruelness of America during the end of his second term, and especially when he left the White House for the last time. I'd love to have lunch with him and thank him for his dedication to our country.
My husband and Kurt Cameron to sit back and listen to them discuss the Bible and gain tremendous knowledge of my God.
Oh, yeah, my e-mail address is DavonneMarie @ HighPCS . com (remove spaces).
Definitely Karen Kingsbury. I absolutely love her books. I would love to talk about the Baxters with her!
My brother...he lives across the country and it's been 6 years since I've been able to see him. I would love to have time with him.
Only one?
More than anything, I'd like to be able to take each of my four children out to lunch one-on-one.
But if I have to choose just one person, I'd choose my pastor's wife because she's great to talk to and needs to get out of her office every once in a while.
Well, I'm glad this won't appear like a suck-up type of response, because my response is Beth Moore, you (and preferably but you only asked for one person) or any of the Siestas I've come to know!
BTW, I gave away my copy of 5 Conversations to a mom with a baby girl and an 8 year old step-daughter which is why I haven't participated in the book club!
That's a hard one, but like many have said, I think I would have to go with Beth Moore. :)
I would love to have lunch with Beth Moore. I think I would get a big kick out of hearing her talk, but I'd also like to thank her for the influence she's had on my life because of her Bible studies. I did my first one in college, with a group of older women and it profoundly changed the way I viewed God's word. I would love to thank her in person for that.
My sister. She lives 16 hours away and has a new baby. I miss her a ton...
My Grandmother. She was the wittiest woman I knew. I still regret not visiting her that last time right before she died.
I'm surprised so many people picked GWB- that was my initial thought as well.
But once I pondered it a little, I think I have settled on a totally selfish and frivolous choice:
Matthew Fox.
I am not given to celebrity crushes or anything, but I have had a constant affection for him since the first time I saw him on Party of Five.
Sad perhaps that this my choice, but heck, at least I am being honest :)
Beth Moore or Michelle Duggar...they both have done a fabulous job of raising Godly kids and that is some insight I'd love to have from a been there done that mom!
My step dad...he lives in another state.
I would love to have lunch with Laura Bush. She seems like such a neat lady.
I guess I would have to go with Beth Moore too... God has used her ministry to set my life in a total new direction...
For the men... Billy Graham, or maybe John Piper... So many people to choose from :)
Thanks for the chance to win :)
I would say Linda Dillow. Several of her books have GREATLY impacted my spiritual life.
hreid23@hotmail.com
my mom...her husband had a severe stroke 10 months ago...so we rarely get to see each other these days.
thanks for the giveaway!
What a hard decision! I would have to go with one of my best friends, Jennifer. She lives in Colorado and just had a baby. I would love to chat with her and see her new little one.
katy_cummings@yahoo.com
My sister.
We live 5 minutes from each other, but as so busy with our 4 kids (each) that to get away with out someone is amazing!
I would have lunch with my Mom because I don't get to see her very often since she lives in another state and does not travel too much.
My baby sister, Lisa. She and her man are stationed in Germany (he's in the Army) and they will be there for 3 years. The webcam just isn't the same.
I would have lunch with my friend Krista who lives in atlanta and I haven't seen for a couple of years.
Other than you, of course. I'd have to choose...
Beth Moore!
Hands down! I am a young, new women's ministry leader so it would be great to learn from her - that and she's seems like so much fun!!!
I would have lunch with my friend Carrie. She was my spiritual mentor for several years. She lives far away from me now. She helped me stay close to God and stay in a marriage that was dying until God set me free. I miss her terribly.
I would have lunch with my Mom---she's be a snowbird in AZ since Dec and this is the first Christmas and birthday ever in my life I've not had her around. Quite emotional times to say the least!
jamie@bobpitman.com
If I could have lunch with anyone living... hmmmmmmm... probably my friend Cheryl Barlow. She is a dear friend from high school that I haven't seen in 25+ years who I've most recently connected with via Facebook. She spent 20+ years living in the gay lifestyle, but upon giving birth to her daughter Gracie, she felt there was something more. Long story short, she's since found Jesus, went through a horrendous custody battle with her former partner, and is now victorious!! She was just recently was appointed the music director at her church! Her story is awesome. She is a great inspiration to so many!
My husband! With 4 children it's hard to find an uninterrupted moment when we're not too tired to stay awake. He's a morning person. I'm a night person so we have to meet for lunch sometimes to have a coherrent conversation...and then we have a toddler and an infant in tow. :)
I'd be too nervous to have lunch with anybody famous. So, I would want to have lunch with my husband. That NEVER happens!
I would have lunch with Julie Johnson, the woman who brought me to the Lord six years ago. When I came to know Christ, I was a troubled teen residing at a residential treatment facility and Julie was one of the staff members at the facility. Unfortunately, "Julie Johnson" is a VERY common name, and I was unable to obtain her contact information upon leaving the program so I have not been able to speak with her since and thank her for bringing me to Christ.
I believe I would have lunch with the President of the US. There is so much negetive gossip about him. I would love to sit and converse with him and let the Holy Spirit reaveal the intentions of his heart.
I would have to say Marcus Lutrell, he's the guy that wrote Lone Survivor(although I'm not sure I spelled his name right). He's the Navy Seal that was the only survivor from the worst day of man loss in the Seals. His story is amazing. I'd love to meet someone that has given so much for our freedom.
John MacArthur!!
Julie Berry

Billy Graham - would love to just hear his heart for the future of the gospel - as he passes the torch to future generations.
Ask him the 5 great lessons of the faith he wishes all believers would know.
Ann
agemmel@aol.com
I'd love to have lunch with my birth mother! I haven't seen in her in 35 years and I would love the opportunity to look into her face and to touch her.
You or Beth Moore. I just recently found your site through a friend, and I'm dying to read your book 5 Conversations. I have two daughters. I don't want them to struggle with the things I struggled with, and go down the wrong roads that I went down.
I'd choose my mom. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't know who I am. I actually do have lunch with her frequently, but she isn't responsive. I have so many questions to ask her and so much to share with her.
Leslee@Leslee.net
Hi,
Let's see if I could only have lunch with one person,hmmm there are so many,but I would say you. I appreciate the pray and advice you and your staff have given me as my family and me are going through such a hard time right now. My dad is dying and there are some other things going on that I'm not ready to talk abut. But I know God is there and I'm trying to trust him.
Thanks for everything,
Laura Koon (dlmkoon@bellsouth.net) or lkoon@marionbaptistchurch.com
Sounds like a kiss-up but, You Vicki. I'm in the throws of raising 2 teenage daughters and aside from the Word of God, you have offered the best information/instruction/encourage-ment I have found.
Thanks for everything.
Darla
chipanddarla@comcast.net
I would have lunch with my son. He is just an amazing young man and I enjoy every moment with him. He inspires people to be all they can be.
I am fortunate to have my mom close enough to see her on a fairly regular basis. But I would still have to pick her as we have had so many health scares in the last few years that I am always looking for more opportunities to spend time with one of my best friends..my mom!
My email is csswit@aol.com
I'd choose Susan Alexander Yates. When my girls were a few years younger I picked up one her books and loved it! She is so down to earth and her books are so encouraging to me as a mom.
Gretchen N.
gretnel@hotmail.com
I would love to have lunch with my son ~ he's away at college, now, but we used to talk and talk over lunch, when he was at home. That was a bright spot in my day!
I would have lunch with my grandmother. I don't make enough time to see her, and she is getting so feeble recently.
I would have to say either Elizabeth George or Suzanne Eller. Both authors have been a real inspiration in my life and as I have gone through a process of healing from a difficult childhood.
I would like to have lunch with a lost person I can tell about Jesus. Those lunches are so exciting! In the past I've prayed for a special table to be able to privately share the gospel, and I've always been seated at a great location! :)
I would love to have lunch with Angie Smith.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I would have lunch with my best friend who lives 1200 miles away. I really need that right now! Thank God for email.
Hello, I would choose Beth Moore. You probably know her....think you could get me an invite?? ;o)
I would love to have lunch with Terry Meeuwsen, from Living the Life. She seems so fun and inspiring. If I had another choice it would be Beth Moore, need I say more. My email address is ginimomof4@windstream.net
I'd have to say Dave Ramsey! I just love him!
I would have lunch with Beth Moore
I'd love to have lunch with ... my husband ... in the Caribbean
Julie Tunnell :-)
Beth Moore!! I have a great desire to meet her and actually have a heart to heart with her one day. God has used her as a great example in my life and have grown deeply in love with the Lord time after time through her ministries. By the way...I love your blog! I really hope to be able to take my almost middle school daughter to your event in Kentucky. Thank you for doing such a great job keeping us Moms informed!
mbaker1221@comcast.net
Preston Jacobs is an amazing Christian who serves God with his many talents. He is a role model for many male adolescents. He is not only a really great friend and encourager, he's truly an inspiration~ emilym2010@yahoo.com
Actually, I would say Nancy Rue! I won a set of her books on an ebay auction and she autographed them to my daughter. We made many wonderful memories sharing the information about growing up. I still recommended the books for mothers and daughters to share during the tween years. (along with Passport to Purity and His Girl)amorris@tusc.k12.al.us
Wow, I am blessed just reading the comments so far! I would love to have lunch with Fern Nichols, the founder of Moms In Touch International.
Lisa
lcdecarlo@gmail.com
My sisters - and some favorite cousins. It's so much fun when we can get together.
I'd like to have lunch with my new friend, Diane. We've become friends through our Woman's Book Talk at church. We haven't had a chance to spend any one on one time together yet.
Casey
caseyheim@tx.rr.com
I would like to have lunch with Melanie...aka Big Mama. I love reading her blogs, they're absolutely hilarious. I could really use her fashion wisdom, and I think she loves mexican like me!!!
email bcplus3@keinet.net
I would love to have lunch with Jill Briscoe.
I would to have lunch with you!!!
smjones@comcast.net
My husband. We often have dinner together but not lunch alone without kids. He is the smartest man I know and I always appreciate his insight!
My sisters and all our daughters. We are separated by miles, schedules with little ones, work, etc. I do wish we could slow down for just a bit and really talk. Grammy TJ
Hard to choose just one. Beth Moore, Angie Smith, George Bush, my best friend who lives so far away from me, my sister without any kids around so we could actually talk, my dad's mother, or Jennifer Scott (she sent me over to this blog! :o)
I would have lunch with Jimmy Carter. I believe in today's society we have very few heros to look up to. I feel Jimmy Carter is one of those people. He took what talents and gifts God gave him and did a lot of good for alot of people.
This might change on a daily basis but today it would be my Pastor. God placed something on my heart today about my church and I would love to share it with him.
I would have lunch with my cousin. She moved out west three years ago and I miss her.
I would choose my husband! We actually went on a lunch "date" a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. That is something we don't get to do very often because of three kids, school, work, etc.. We really enjoy special times like that together...Just the two of us! Of course there are other people I would love to eat with as well! Thanks!
It would probably have to be Karen Kingsbury because I love her books! I would so enjoy sitting down with her and just talking about all the characters she's created. That would be one fun lunch!
I would have lunch with my sister. We hardly ever have time to talk between the 5 kids, 2 states, 5 jobs, and 2 families between us. It would be so nice to just hear her heart and allow her to hear mine...oh if only...
Joel Rosenberg is one who I would choose to have lunch with. (flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com) Also, Bill Gates or a NASA scientist!
Thanks!
I would like to sit down with Laura Bush. I admire her silence while her husband was in the White House although she did alot of things centered around women's health and children's literacy.
Beth Moore.
chefmichelle@tampabay.rr.com
Wess Stafford. He's the president of Compassion International, and I would love to hear incredible stories of how He's seen God working through his faithfulness in leading his organization to heal the world's poor and lead them to Christ while doing it. His book Too Small to Ignore is life-changing and has inspired my husband and me to sponsor children in Africa & Thailand, support organizations that care for orphans, and keep our eyes wide open in our church and community for those in need that we can support.
My #2 and #3 would would be Carol Kent and Jennifer Rothschild (both have tremendous stories of lives committed to Christ in difficult circumstances that are not temporary!).
I'd want to have lunch with my best friend from high school, who I haven't seen or heard from in many years. I miss her so much.
I had lunch with my husband today actually! He came to the school where I am currently a teacher intern and we had lunch together from the cafeteria! Chicken spaghetti, it was very good. The perfect lunch date!
I'd have lunch with Christine, my 5year old Hope sponsor child in Uganda. I would LOVE to hear her sweet little voice and see that beautiful smile in person!
BowserRanch@wavecable.com
Sarah Palin!
My girlfriend Colleen. Seems we're so busy with our own families our time together has become few and far between. We need to catch up and have some girl time!:)
Sherrie
sherrieconklin@hotmail.com
I would have to say Rick Warren or Greg Laurie. They both have blessed my life in ways that they will probably only know about in Heaven. It would be wonderful to chat with and learn more from either of them.
I am so glad that I have stumbled upon your blog. :) What a blessing it is!
The first person that popped into my mind was Angela Thomas. As a single mom, her book was a source of inspiration to me and I recently complete her study Beautiful Offering. Of course, Beth Moore would be a fun lunch date, too. And I am always "hungry" for quality time with my best friend , who lives halfway across the country from me!
My best friend from college. I haven't seen her since 1991. We still keep in touch, but I'd love to see her face to face.
I'd have lunch with my grandmother. She's had a stroke and is unable to communicate. We used to have the best talks about God and His Word. She was the most Godly woman I knew!
I would have lunch with Beth Moore, I would love to tell her how God has used her to bless me.
chaymanj@tampabay.rr.com
Yikes! This was a tough one.
I'd love to have lunch with Angie Smith. I've been following her story on her blog http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com and she just seems like a really neat person that I could become great friends with. She's a woman of God who has a tremendous ministry just in the beginning stages. I'd love a day to eat, laugh, cry & shop with her.
mom2chelnjustin@gmail.com
Mary Beth Chapman. Her and Steven are such an inspiration.
I'd like a group lunch...Beth Moore, Max Lucado, Anne Graham Lotz, Dr. James Dobson, and Tim Lahaye. I'd like to hear that conversation.
i would have lunch with you! Lunch wouldn't be long enough though....thank you for all of your words of wisdom and encouragement!
I would want to have lunch with my Ag. teacher from high school (Russell Richter). He saw something in me, that I never knew was there (nor did anyone else), and forced me out of my shell. I was SO uncomfortable at the time, but would love to be able to find him and thank him!!
I would have lunch with my father. He has just had a stroke which affected his speech. He is slowly getting his speech back and I am praying for the day to have another wonderful talk with him
I would have lunch with my two best friends, who live 2 hours away but I don't get to see. We keep in touch just not in person. I miss them both.
msmefrench@Earthlink.net
A friend I haven't seen for almost 20 years who lives on the opposite coast. We had been best friends at a crazy time in our lives. She has been battling breast cancer and I would love to reconnect and give her a hug and shed some tears together. What a cool reunion that would be!
mccoy2407@msn.com
I would love to have lunch with Beth Moore or my dear friend Helen. Beth Moore because she is such a firecracker and I love soaking up her wisdom. My friend Helen, because since she got a job, I rarely see her and I miss her.
I would love to have lunch with my mother, of all people. As I have gotten older, she has turned in to one of the wisest, caring, thoughtful, and loving people I've ever known. As a single mother, she took care of my brother & I, all the while keeping the house up, working a 40+ hour work week, having dinner on the table every night, and having us in church on Sunday. She loves & lives for the Lord & I'm so thankful He blessed us with such a wonderful, amazing mother! I love you, Mom.
April
april_vereb@yahoo.com
I would love to have lunch with you or Beth Moore. God has used you both greatly in my life, and my family's life!
I would sit down with the mom of the three siblings my husband and I are pursuing in adoption from the Ukraine. We hosted the oldest boy (10) and older sister (8) this summer. They are amazing kids and God has protected their hearts leaving them still tender. All I know about their parents is that they are alcoholics and the children were taken away. I would love to encourage her and help her see the gift she's been given in those children. Most importantly, I would love to share Jesus' unconditional love with her. It's never too late and God's love is mightier than any stronghold. Jenny
At this point I think I would choose Joanna Weaver. She is so real in her writing and the Lord has used her books to greatly impact my life. Judging from her writing we are a lot alike and I think I could learn a lot from the lessons she has learned.
As a young woman with many questions and unsureties, I am very much in favor of younger women learning from older women.
I would have lunch with a very dear friend that I have not had the opportunity to spend much time with in the last few years.
lavedaferguson@yahoo.com
I would say Beth Moore. She was instrumental in creating a love in me for reading The Word! Next would be Sharon Thomas, a local Christian speaker that inspires me too!
(I would have selected my mother, but she passed away when I was 18! She was absolutely amazing in creating my initial LOVE for the Lord!)
theresa.haskins@navy.mil
My best friend in California, Regina, I miss her a lot.
Carla
carlathefred@aol.com
I would love to have lunch with my mother. We live 4 hours from each other and talking on the phone is just not the same. I miss her!
My daughter who is 15 hours away at Liberty University in Virginia. If I could have picked more than one it would be that she bring her friends who are her "at school family". It would be a joy to experience their togetherness.
kleinstuff@gmail.com
My daughters. They're 13 & 10 and I love, love being w/ them. They challenge me to be a better person & they encourage me to be more godly. They ROCK!
tracideboard@yahoo.com
I would have lunch with my friend Dona. I'm in OK and she's in Houston. I don't get to see her very often but when I do I learn so much from her. She turned me on to your blog and I love it,(I have 3 boys)and have sent it to many of my friends with daughters. She's probably reading this so...."Hey Dona, What's up! Love ya like a sister!"
Thanks, Lisa Solomon
solomon-5@cox.net
If I could have lunch with anyone it would have to be Steven Curtis Chapman. Since becoming a Christian his music has been very instrumental in my life. I can always find a song of his that has just the right message for what I'm going through!
I would have lunch with my daughter and son, who are 12 and 14,they decided to go live with their dad and I feel like we need restoration of our relationships.
Darcie in China, Tx
Dr. Ron Paul and then I would give my seat at the table to my husband.
otherwise I'd choose my sister, my best friend, who lives about 2 hours away.
I would have lunch with Billy Graham. I cannot imagine a more inspiring lunch companion.
I would have lunch with my husband. The world is turning so fast that I would love more time to sit and talk with him.
Iwould choose to have lunch with childrens author Gary Paulson. Many of his books are based on personal experiances. He has a way of keeping the kids reading with books that are packed full of adventure. I admire him because he over came a childhood of neglect and abuse, and is helping kids through his books.He also has a great love for dogs which have also hepled me through some tough times in my life. (check out the Hatch series and My life in dog years)
I would love to sit down with Beth Moore and talk with her about all God has done in her life. Her Bible studies have really impacted my life. Or, Laura Bush. She has been through some incredible things and must have some real stories to tell. She has also done a lot of work with literacy programs for children, and I work with at-risk kids. WE'd have a lot to alk about!
My husband. We both work and have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. We never get to have grown up time during the day. I miss having lunch with him.
WOW, I am NOT sure I cuold only pick one person, but here's my list...
~ Beth Moore
~ Lysa TerKuerst
~ You
~ Andy Stanley
~ Patsy Clairmont
~ Laura Bush
There are SO many amazing people that I would love to spend some "coffee time" with to find out about their journey.
Thanks,
Melissa in Mel's World
I would have lunch with Mrs.Vicki Courtney and Beth Moore. Then, I would invite my mom, sis, and best friends to join us. It would be a lunch to remember. Thanks for the chance to win. Blessings.
mccartt4@embarqmail.com
OH Please can't I go back!! Manley Beasley...I spent much time with him and his sweet wife but I was young and stupid and didn't ask enough questions....Corrie Ten Boom??? OK....Living???? I am going to say...Lori Salerino...I love her and what an encouragement she has been in my life and ministry. She always wants me to succeed...there is NO jealously as I have seen elsewhere in ministry...as if the "pie" is going to get to small!
I'm assuming that this question is implying a person that we'd never normally get a chance to have lunch with. In that case, my choice is Beth Moore. I think she is just hilarious! That, combined with her palpable love for God makes her someone I would definitely like to get to know.
psychgirl1968@yahoo.com
I would have lunch with my mom who I have not seen in two in a half years.
The Jonas Brothers. Then I would invite my daughter along, thereby securing my title as "Coolest Mom EVER!!!!"
-dina clarke
I'm reading Healing Stones right now! I would LOVE to read Healing Waters!!!
I would probably have lunch with Melanie from Big Mama. She's so hilarious but also has a heart for Christ. It is so refreshing to be around people like that!!
I think it would be awesome to have lunch with you! I have really enjoyed your books, blog, and Bible Study for teen girls.
Okay, so if I couldn't have lunch with you, I have a great friend in China that I would love to have a girly lunch with. She doesn't get to do that kind of thing often and I miss her very much.
I would have lunch with my mom. On days when things are not certain, her voice, her hugs and her never-ending love seem to heal the hurts and set my mind back on the right thing(s). She doesn't live close by and we don't see each other often (and when we do see each other there's too much going on and too many people around)- to be able to treat her to lunch would be really special.
rhondatoney@comcast.net
I would carve out part of the day and retreat to "just" lunch with my husband. It would be sweet because if we have lunch now it's because a family issue has escalated and needs to be talked about - not fun!
rhondatoney@comcast.net
Beth Moore!
Thanks so much for the entry!
I'd love to have lunch with my friend/mentor Linda. We met through a homeschooling chat group and have emailed and spoken on the phone but have never met in person! She lives in New York and I live in Texas, and we're both busy moms with 5 kids, so it would be a real treat to have lunch and meet in person for the first time! :D
I recently heard Shannon Ethridge speak on the Girls Getaway cruise, and I did get to visit w/ her for abt 5 min -- I would love to have lunch with her & pick her brain. And luagh, she is a hoot.
nikihughes2002@yahoo.com
I would have lunch with my high school bff, Tutu. She lives in another state. We IM daily and I miss her so.
Leslie Ludy... She is an amazing christian author. Her and her husband, eric, have pushed me far beyond my mediocre christianity. She has challenged me to more than just praying and reading my bible...She has taught me you MUST have a personal relationship with Jesus and sacrifice everything. she inspires me daily... i would love to have lunch with her.
kharris15@aol.com
Steven Curtis Chapman or Michael W. Smith (can't pick between them...)they are my favorite musicians in the world!!
I would choose Michelle Obama because she seems like a very knowledgable and caring person. She strikes me as being very involved in her daughters' lives and their schools etc. I also think that she is such a tremendous example to women of all races.
I would have lunch with YOU! My daughter and i attended a You and Your Girl event last year and I had so many questions!!! I would love to bend your ear!!!! Lisa Whitten, Morganton, NC whitlisa@bellsouth.net
My mom. We never get any time without the kids.
kkbpt@yahoo.com
Hands down it would be Beth Moore!
There are so many...
But I do wish I could have lunch with you! My children are 15,11 and 7...I would love listen to your wisdom...and be encouraged!
Blessings!
Teresa
teresabraden@aol.com
Beth Moore :)
Her Bible studies have been a huge part of my ongoing journey from "brokenness" to "wholeness...in Jesus"!

Well, today is my daughter's 12th Birthday so she is definitely my choice of who I would love to have lunch with! :)
That book looks lovely. I love the photo on the cover!

Hi Vicki!
Does it have to be just ONE person?
I would choose Chuck Swindoll first.
But then yourself and Beth Moore would be awesome as well!!
Chuck Swindoll has always spoken on my level and I just have so much respect for him as a speaker and a bible teacher.
Thanks for the chance.

My college roommate. I haven't seen her in years and would love to get together with her. She is a fine Christian woman and always an inspiration to me.

Normally when asked this question, I would say the apostle Paul or some other Biblical figure who I had questions for. However, when I got married I was unable to meet my husband's grandpa. He had passed away years before. I would love to sit down with Grandpa Bert and hear the stories that he is so famous for telling. He was so involved in my husband's life and was/is a very crucial part of why my husband became the man he is today. I would love to meet someone who had that amount of importance in the life of someone I am so very close to.
I would have lunch with my husband. We have 4 young children and a moment alone together is few and far between. Not too mention I wouldn't have to cut anyone else's food! :)

I'd have lunch with my mom. She lives overseas and I see her maybe once a year or so. And we'd probably go out to eat thai food, because my husband doesn't like it, and it's extra special to go eat it with Mom.
Honestly I think I would like to have lunch with James Dobson. He has always been such an advocate for the family and had such a vision for his FOF and what it could do for families.
I'd love to convince him to to a video series on Bringing up Girls. Combined with your books on Girls and boys his books have really impacted my family.
brother yun, one of the leaders of the house church movement in China (The Heavenly Man). he's been imprisoned (and escaped) multiple times and has experienced more miracles than i can even begin to imagine!
Beth Moore or my pastor, Gregg Matte.
I would love to have lunch with President George W Bush and his wife. To talk with them about the time he was in office and hear some of the many stories and facts that we did not get to hear while he was in office. jbeugnot@gmail.com
I would love to have lunch with my best friend who lives in Florida, I only see her about once a year. Her name is Sheila.

I would have lunch with my husband...... He's currently stationed in Texas on his way to Iraq. We were married last August, are expecting a baby in October and looking at a year of being apart. What I wouldn't give just to simply have lunch with him...!
I would want to have lunch with Katherine from "Raising Five". I love her blog! She's the mom of 5 and I have 4 and I would indeed pick her brain to pieces.
I would love to have lunch with my birth mom whom I never met. I would like to let her know that she made the best decision she ever had to put me up for adoption instead abortion. I want to thank her for her unselfish act of thinking what is best for me and my future. I have a beautiful life with loving adopted parents whom I dearly love. I just want to thank her and let her know that I love her for what she had done for me. I just want to thank Jesus for let me live so I can share of love of Jesus Christ to my adopted family. Thank you Jesus so much again. May the Lord bless you and keep Him in your heart, in Jesus' name. Amen
I would have lunch with my sister.Without a doubt she is my best friend. I laugh harder, cry louder, eat more and make the best memories when we are together! She lives in MI. --so lunch with her is few and far between!
I'd have to say Beth Moore. But we would have to save Starbucks until the lunch date was over because I'm not sure I could keep up with her freshly caffienated!
WOW!! I can't believe I won. I would like to thank the academy....I just finished a book so this is great timing....Thank you!!
If I could have lunch with anyone it would be...my best friend or my brother and just hang out. I don't really go hang out with my friends unless it is with the entire youth group. Or my brother because he got a girlfriend a few months ago and we don't hang out as much as we used to, I miss that.
