Contest!

I’m celebrating the release of my new book, All In Good Time, with a new contest!

Whenever I come across a little item that reminds me of the book I’m writing, I add it to a collection for a giveaway. The result may be fun to win, but it’s every bit as much fun to give the collection away! Here is a fuller picture of what my new giveaway items looks like:

*What’s a tear bottle, you ask? This is my favorite gift to give, and I include with it this note:

This little bottle was manufactured as a perfume bottle, and can be used as such . . . but that isn’t my intention for you. Not long ago I was reminded of the verse in Psalms about God keeping track of our tears by putting them in a bottle. Envisioning that, I realized our tears must be precious to Him, precious enough to be stored like expensive perfumes or spices. So I bought myself a pretty perfume bottle that sits on my desk to remind me that God must have a purpose in our tears. I hope this “tear bottle” for you will be a reminder of God’s love, while I pray that a rarity of your tears (except from laughter) is why they’re so precious.

Winners limited to continental USA. Thank you.
