Book Giveaway: Stepping Into Sunlight

Happy Thursday, everyone! Time for another book giveaway from Bethany House. But first, here are the winners for the two most recent books I’m giving away:

Where the Heart Leads — Comment #25, Kristen

The Encore Effect — Comment #3, Mel

Congrats! Okay, on to this week’s giveaway!

Here’s how the giveaways work:

Every Thursday, I post about a new book that’s up for grabs. If it sounds like a book you’d like and you want to be eligible to win it, just leave a comment on the post and I’ll put your name in the virtual hat. I’ll leave the post open for comments until the following Wednesday at noon. I’ll then randomly pick a commenter and announce that person as the winner when I put up the next giveaway.

Please make sure that when you leave a comment, you include an email address so I can contact you easily. Also, I apologize to any international readers, but these giveaways are limited to readers in the U.S. or Canada.

So, without further ado, the first book is:

Stepping Into Sunlight
by Sharon Hinck

One tragic event.
One project of healing.
One step toward hope.

Penny Sullivan is ready to face the challenge of a cross-country move and caring for her energetic seven-year-old son while her husband leaves on his first deployment as a Navy chaplain. But after she witnesses a shocking crime, her world tips sideways.

Hiding in her closet isn’t an option when her husband and son depend on her, so she fights to recover. But even simple tasks such as filling her car with gas, buying groceries, and returning phone calls are suddenly more than she can handle.

Help comes in funny packages–a temperamental DVD, a man who hoards gum wrappers, a meddlesome neighbor, and a small yellow notebook in which Penny scribbles down her recovery plan: Do one kind thing for another person every day. The results are sometimes beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking, and often lead to more than she ever could have imagined.
A story for every woman who has wondered where God is when life hurts.

    Drat, I’m the first, and I know that the first never win. Then again, I didn’t win before when I wasn’t the first.
    I’d really like to win this book. I’ve read Sharon’s newsletter/blog and heard about this from that.
