Free Book Winners

March 7, 2009 in Uncategorized with 7 Comments

I learned something doing the free book contest:

The Stuff Christians Like book better smell delicious.

Seriously, book smell and normal looking author photos are key. Mine is going to be a scratch and sniff and smell like cotton candy.

Here are the five winners. If your name is on this list, shoot me an email with your mailing address so I can tell Moody Publishers where to send your free book.

It has to have a photo of a girl on the front contemplating something important….like “Is he the man God wants me to marry? Could I ever change his heart for God?”
And, also….I have to read the synopsis and make sure that nothing really bad is going to happen, like child abuse or vegetarianism, oh, or an outlook in the book the pushes legalism.
Then I will read it :)

I look at the barcode. If the black-white pattern resembles any of my favorite zebras, I’m quite interested in the book. Then I add up the numbers below. If they add up to a prime number of a number divisible by 7, I’m hooked.

Jonathan Edmund
I check the about-the-author page to see if the author took a picture with his or her dog. If they did then I will buy the book. Period. If not, I check the title/inside sleeve to see what it’s about and if it’ll be worth it. So far this has only happened once, and I must say that Marley & Me is a great book but I cried the whole time because my dog had just died and I couldn’t handle it.

All I’m saying is, you should probably get an Acuff dog if there isn’t one already, or borrow a neighbor/friend/stranger’s dog for your ATA photo. (If it’s a stranger you may need a quick photographer as most strangers hate it when I grab their dog and try to photograph myself with it).

Brandon Anderson
I first wonder what I would look like holding this book in public. Will people stop and talk to me about this book? Do I look smart/edgy reading it? Does it say that I’m a Christian, but not one of “THOSE” Christians? Will attractive women inexorably drop their phone numbers or facebook addresses on my table?

Bethanie
Please, John. I don’t read anything besides the Bible. Reading this blog is the booty in my “BGB.” But Godology would look good on my non-existent college dorm coffeetable.
