CONTEST - Reminder!

I'll be repeating this post throughout the month as a reminder to enter this fabulous contest!

I am so proud to be an author for one of the most respected publishers in the CBA. In addition to the awesome fiction line that I’m part of, Abingdon Press has just released The Common English Bible New Testament. The cool thing is that it’s not a revision or an update of an existing translation; it’s a bold new translation designed specifically for Christians who desire to dig deeper into the New Testament. It’s written at a comfortable level for more than half of all English readers. I think anything that brings a heart for Jesus closer to Him through understanding of His word … Well, that’s something I can really get behind.

If you would like to have a hard copy of this amazing book, I’ve cooked up a little giveaway with Kay Strom.

Here are the simple rules for the contest:

Post a comment on one (or both!) of our blog posts about the contest that tells us your favorite scripture verse and why (in just a few sentences). At the end of November, we’ll each choose one winner at random. That winner will win an autographed copy of our latest novel AND a copy of Abingdon’s Common English Bible New Testament.

*Don’t forget to include your email address so I can contact you!*

BONUS BONUS BONUS: If that winner has posted a review of one of our novels on Christian Book Distributors, they will receive A SECOND COPY of this innovative Bible to give away to a friend. Perhaps as a Christmas gift?

It’s that simple for you to own your very own copy of Abingdon’s CEB New Testament. So let’s hear it! What’s your life verse of scripture, and why?

Deadline Dinner – Pizza Salad

Your kids will willingly eat their veggies if you serve them in a pizza salad. You may substitute any of the ingredients for your favorite pizza toppings. Most grocery store produce departments offer washed and cut veggies that will make the preparation a breeze!

Ingredients:
• 1 bag of washed and torn romaine lettuce
• 1 cup each of broccoli, bell peppers, onions, fresh mushrooms and sliced pepperoni or Canadian bacon
• 1 cup of shredded cheese
• 4 tortillas
• 1 cup of red Italian sauce

Directions:
1. Mix the lettuce, other vegetables, and cheese in a large bowl.
2. Pour the Italian sauce into a serving bowl and place on the table.
3. Give each family member a tortilla to make their own individual pizzas.


You and your family can eat the salad and use the tortillas as a side of bread, roll the salad into the tortillas, or place the salad on top of the tortillas and eat them open face.
