Mad Church Disease Giveaway!

Mad Church Disease Giveaway!
15 posted on January 15, 2009
82 Comments
POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Book Reviews, Contests

Sure, you can pre-order this book from Amazon and wait for it to show up in your mailbox (please do that too), but what if I told you that I have 1 official hardcover copy of Mad Church Disease? What if I told you that I want to give it away? That’s right, you can get your hands on this amazing book weeks before anyone else.

HOW TO WIN THIS BOOK

Here’s all you need to do. First, leave a comment with your name. Second, you have to promise that when you’re done reading the book you will give it to someone you know in ministry. This book is too good and the message too important not to share. The winner will be chosen at random and announced this weekend.

    Seriously, someone else was doing a contest today, and I already won a copy of the book, so I plan on reading it, reviewing it on Amazon and my blog, and then passing it on to someone else, so let one of these other fine suck ups, I mean blog community members get the exciting feeling I just got when I read the words that I WON!!! :)

    To everyone else, just know I WAS going to win, but I am now passing it on to the other winner, whoever you turn out to be, you can thank me later! :)
