Congrats!

Here’s how the giveaways during Fall Into Reading 2011 work:

Every Wednesday, I will 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. (You do not have to be a Fall Into Reading participant to enter these giveaways.) I’ll leave the post open for comments until the following Tuesday 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 my international readers, but these giveaways are only open to readers in the U.S. at this time.

Now for this week’s giveaway…

My Life and Lesser Catastrophes
by Christina Schofield

From the publisher:

My Life and Lesser Catastrophes: An Unflinchingly Honest Journey of Faith

Fresh, Surprising Memoir of God’s Goodness in the Midst of Disaster

Just after her thirteenth wedding anniversary, Christina Schofield woke up groggy and disoriented, surrounded by nurses in a hospital. She and her husband had hit a gravel patch while on their motorcycle and crashed into a ditch. With the exception of a concussion, she was fine. But Allen had broken his neck. He was now a quadriplegic.

With her entire life flipped upside down, she began an astonishing journey of tenacious faith amid increasing doubt. Full of dark, silent hours and a woman’s honest questioning of the God she thought she knew, this is also a story full of miraculous answers to prayer and head-scratching, awe-inspiring encounters with her loving Lord.

With candid warmth and transparency, Christina shows readers that even in their darkest hours, God’s goodness shines through.
