Win 6 different books by 6 different authors today.

I am not one to throw around the word “bonanza.” In a lot of ways I respect that word too much to just bandy it about casually. So it is with no small degree of seriousness that I say today is a “book bonanza.”

We’re giving away six different books today. Three people will have the chance to win a bunch of books. Here’s what is included:

Starting a Christian Blog.

(Kevin Ring is approximately 9 feet tall. I know this because once at a conference he raised his hand during a Q&A and asked me, “Why did God take the unicorns away?” Legit question, legit question.

When I have an idea that will be a lot funnier if you help me, I’ll post it on the Jonathan Acuff Facebook page or throw it on Twitter for feedback. I think that will be fun.

Thanks for the ideas! I hope to do them justice on Stuff Christians Like.

Feeling slightly embarrassed for male singers who don’t play instruments.

Good service so far. Only felt a modicum of judgment from the people next to me who don’t know I direct deposit my tithe, no one’s asked to borrow my pen and I’m pretty sure I’m going to win the “please turn to” Bible verse race.

Believing the 2-Star Reviews too often.

Stuff Christians Like “reads like it was cobbled together in about a weekend.” That’s one of the quotes from a 2 star review someone gave me on Amazon.

Caffeine.

I stand by my Twitter statement that if you’re going to wear a Tapout ultimate fighting t-shirt you should have to wrestle and pin the cashier before you are allowed to buy it.

The Justin Bieber Effect.

Is you listen closely, you can hear moms all over the country shrieking in horror as they listen to a Ludacris CD they bought because “he seemed like such a nice young man on that Justin Bieber song.”

Mom Justice.

When she was very pregnant with our first daughter, my wife got hit by a taxi driver in Boston.
