We're overdue for a give-away!
UPDATE: WE HAVE WINNERS! Congratulations to:

J. Davis - j6davis@gci.net
This give-away is a bit random in nature, but I was inspired by seeing this on Facebook. Grab the nearest book to you and turn to page 56. Scroll down to the 5th sentence on the page and copy and paste it into your reply on this post. Don't forget to leave your email if you don't have a blog profile I.D., so we can find you if you win. One week from today, we will draw for 3 winners and each will receive a signed copy of my newest release, 5 Conversations You Must Have With Your Daughter. In fact, I'll let you pick between the book or the new Bible study workbook. Best of luck!
Oh, and just for fun, I turned to page 56 of 5 Conversations and here is the 5th sentence: "And for the record, if the pediatrician isn't worried, you shouldn't be either." Pretty random!

"Show anti-itch cream or lotion."

It's an object lesson about Betsy and Corrie ten Boom and how they showed thankfulness to God, even in the midst of bad conditions. The anti-itch cream is to demonstrate that the guards never came into their barracks because of the flea infestation.
(What a cool lesson. I may have to use that example sometime.)
There is only one sentence on page 56 of "Who Moved My Cheese" and it is:
You Stop.
Saul learned of David's whereabouts and sent messengers to bring him back, but when the messengers entered the spiritual assembly, they were caught up in the prophetic ecstasies, overwhelmed by God's Spirit.
That is from the book "Leap Over a Wall" by Eugene Peterson.
