Free Book from The Contemplative Book Fairy

Just when you thought life couldn't get any better...

Inspired by some bloggers that are giving away books, I decided this could be an entirely unprofitable but fun and goofy extension of my book fairy offerings.

Unlike the other bloggers, who are giving away hip, new releases that everyone's itching to get their hands on, I'm giving away hand-me-downs. I just plucked one from my bookshelves. The idea for me, of course, is to make room for more books...and if I can offer a little something to my blog-reader-friends while doing so, all the better.

The book is A Search for Serenity: Encouragement for Your Weary Days, by Gigi Graham Tchividjian (Billy Graham's daughter). It's in really nice shape. I must have read it gingerly, because the binding isn't even cracked. It shows infinitesimal shelf wear; it's in very nice shape. Here's what the back cover says:

"Are you 'just tired'...or are you WEARY? As a wife, mother of seven, grandmother, author, and speaker, Gigi Graham Tchividjian has had ample opportunity to learn the difference between the two. Getting tired is part of our humanness, but WEARINESS can be overcome through Him who 'gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak' (Isaiah 40:29)."

Obviously she wrote this before writing in all caps was considered SHOUTING (sorry).

You can get the thing used for 92 cents at Amazon.com. Or you can enter the drawing and get it for free here! Save your 92 cents and apply it to the rising prices of Starbucks coffee. You don't even have to pay for shipping--the Book Fairy will mail this book to the winner!

These two blogs are the source of my inspiration (and are giving away hotter titles)

If you're interested in Gigi's book, leave a comment on this blog, including your email so I can contact you if your name is plucked from the batch on Monday.

And of course, by all means, feel free to link this to any site or person who would enjoy a chance at a free book.

Great to see you here, Camy! It's been a pleasure getting to know you at your blog. My name wasn't drawn at your site for Mary DeMuth's new book, but that's okay. I'm glad to support her by actually purchasing it. And now I need to check out your work, too!

Not sure why Gigi is still using the surname Tchividjian now that she is dovorced from Stephan (despite the 7 children) and re-married to a guy called Carl Foreman!
