Congrats!

Here’s how the giveaways during Fall Into Reading 2009 book giveaways work:

Every Thursday, I will post about a new book that’s up for grabs (occasionally, there may be more than one book!). 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.

Also, I apologize to any international readers, but these giveaways are only open to readers in the U.S. or Canada.

Disclosure/disclaimer: The books for the Fall Into Reading giveaways are graciously provided by the publisher. I have not had a chance to read them, so can not offer an endorsement or critique. All book information is provided by the publisher.

This week’s giveaway:

Sacred Waiting
by David Timms

From the publisher:

WaitingWaiting–the Key to Joy, Peace, and Abundance

No one likes to wait. Our irritation level rises in checkout lines, train stations, restaurants, and doctors’ offices. We don’t have time to waste. But Scripture constantly speaks of waiting: “Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31).

The good news is that waiting on God is much more than watching the clock. Waiting plays a vital role in our spiritual formation as we draw closer to the Lord and respond to His leading. Challenging believers to rediscover this lost spiritual discipline, pastor and Bible professor David Timms reveals the hidden treasures of waiting on God — the peace and joy of being with Him.

The heroes of the faith all waited on God. And just like Abraham, Moses, and David, you’ll find that your best moments arise from God’s timing, not your own. Every covenant God made came at the end of a season of waiting. God’s rewards wait for you when you learn to practice Sacred Waiting.
