Win a Copy of Pearl in the Sand !

Anyone remember this friendly feline? Sneaks, the mascot of the public library summer reading program, was essential to my childhood summers.  Sneaks motivated me (via unbeatable prizes such as frog-green silly putty and clown noses) to spend my summer in stories. 

Alas, I have no magic erasers or squirt gun prizes for you marathon readers.

BUT...I have something even better.

Tell me what is on your summer reading list for your chance to win a FREE ADVANCE COPY of Pearl in the Sand, Tessa Afshar's new novel coming out in September 2010. The presses have only just begun to print this book, so I only have ONE copy to give away to someone very lucky!

WARNING: Pearl in the Sand is a pageturner! And as such, may not be advisable for leisurely beach reading...unless the reader wants sunburn. 

It's simple to enter to win:

1) Comment below with a book on your summer reading list and please include your EMAIL

2) I will contact the winner (selected at random) via email tomorrow!

Watch the Trailer!
 

Book Description: Can a Canaanite harlot who has made her livelihood by looking desirable to men make a fitting wife for one of the leaders of Israel? Shockingly, the Bible’s answer is yes. Pearl in the Sand tells Rahab’s untold story. Rahab lives in a wall; her house is built into the defensive walls of the City of Jericho. Other walls surround her as well—walls of fear, rejection, unworthiness. A woman with a wrecked past; a man of success, of faith …of pride; a marriage only God would conceive! Through the heartaches of a stormy relationship, Rahab and Salmone learn the true source of one another’s worth and find healing in God.

  15. Also, a recommended book from Voice of the Marytrs, I Dared to Call Him Father...and, the reason I have no Julie Klassen is that I've read them all! Maybe I need to repeat one or two....

  16. Currently I'm reading Freedom by Malika Oufkir. She's not a Christian author. But it is about a woman who after a 20 year imprisonment tries to adjust to the world of free people and modernity. I read Evidence Not Seen: A Woman's Miraculous Faith in the Jungles of World War II by Darlene Deibler Rose. One of her captors became a Christian through her faithfulness to God. Amazing true story. I'm excited to read Pearl in the Sand. email is elmurray28@yahoo.com
