Here we are — the last Thursday of Fall 2008. Today is my last giveaway from Bethany House for this year’s Fall Into Reading challenge. I’d like to say a special thanks to Bethany House for their incredible generosity in providing books throughout the giveaway. I think it’s been just as much fun for me to give away the books as it has been for the winners to receive them!
Before I tell you about the last book, let me announce the winner of last week’s book, Home Another Way.
The winner is:
Comment #24 — Christel
Congratulations, Christel!
Now, on to this week’s giveaway. 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 Sunday night. I’ll then randomly pick a commenter and announce that winner on Monday, December 22nd. U.S. & Canada mailing addresses only, please.
Baby-naming has become an art form with parents today, but where do parents go to find names and their meanings? The Name Book offers particular inspiration to those who want more than just a list of popular names. From Aaron to Zoe, this useful book includes the cultural origin, the literal meaning, and the spiritual significance of more than 10,000 names. An appropriate verse of Scripture accompanies each name, offering parents a special way to bless their children.

Boy do I need this book…62 days until baby girl is born and we have yet to name her. We have tossed a few names out, but nothing that is sticking. For some reason our picks keep getting too close to our first child’s name…anyone else have that problem? LOL.
Thanks for offering this book!
Throw my name in the hat (no pun intended). We think we’ve settled on a name for boy #2, but the hubby is holding out on me. Perhaps seeing other names would help firm it up for him.
Oh, this would be a perfect gift for my best friend and her hubbie….baby number 2 is on the way and he is thinking Angus for a boy?????? It would be nice to tell her help is on the way!
Please add my name to the contest. I’m not having a baby, but I would really like to read about different names.
Please count me in! I’m a writer and a name lover so I am often researching names. When my brother left home to get married he left his name book for me to use, but I’m thinking that should he and his wife choose to give me a nice or nephew they would probably like the book back. It would be great to have my own book to replace it when the time comes!
Thanks! author_erin(at)lycos(dot)com
Wow, I’m so excited. I emailed you my mailing address. Thanks again for the giveaway.
This is the best name book ever! I own 2 copies and just love it
My church owns about 10 copies!
Maybe the search for a baby name will be over if I win this book!
