Top selling Books with Autographs Given Away Free.

5 Top Selling Books Given Away Free to Five Lucky People

I am going to try something totally different for the next few days. Starting now 12-11-09 until 12-14-09 I am going to give away five top selling books with the author’s autographs and personal notes in them. These will be excellent Charitmas presents or for yourself.

In the past I held a drawing to see who will get them. I am not doing that this time. These books will go to the first five people who sign up for my free newsletter.

I am going to describe each book to show you that they are not just any book, but top quality, and nationally known:

The Shack: Written by William Paul Young

Yes I said, The Shack. I met William Paul Young at a writer’s conference, and two other times after that. He not only wrote a personal to you the reader but he autographed it. I will be giving away two copies of this book. 

This book has sold over 7 million copies so far, and is still on the top selling list of many of the top selling lists.  This book started out as a book just written to his children and close friends. Some of those friends told him to send copies to some of the other friends on his list. He did and the rest is history. The book took off faster than Young and his partners could handle.

The book is about questioning God, and how to survive after you have lost a loved one. It has a very unusual approach as what God, the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit look and act like.

The Shack is a little cabin up by a lake, and the symbolism of the shack is that it has the door to your heart that you sometimes need to open to grow.

( I looked for the prices of  The Shack, in the stores, and the cheapist I could fine was $10.50 at Walmart. You can order it right off of this site by clicking the Amazon icon. It is only $6.00 here. Even with shipping it is cheaper than any store, and delivered right ot your door.  Great Christmas present.)

Three Cups of Tea: By David Oliver Relin.

Three Cups of Tea, is one of the top selling books for the last three years. It was number 1 on the New York Times best selling list for many months.

It is the story of Greg Mortenson, and his quest to build schools in Afghanistan. He felt that if the children had a proper education that there wouldn’t be many going into the Taliban terrorist camps as soldiers. He was doing this to promote peace one school at a time. The troubles and trail he went through to get this project started, and the burden of getting all the equipment need to the sites is well worth the read.

Not only did David autograph the book, he also wrote a personal note. I met him at a signing, and we had a nice conversation.

The Lord of the Films: by J. W. Braun.

This is the unofficial, official guide to the several movies about The Lord of the Rings. The author put in many hours of research, and study to give you everything about the background and making of the films.

It is autographed by J. W.  It is full of pictures from the sets during the film making, and statements by the actors, and producers. The forward is written by Clifford Broadway who played a soldier in the movies.

A must have for anyone who has followed these fun and exciting movies.

Creed of Old Montana: by Stephen Bly.

Stephan Bly has written over 100 books. He has won the prestigious Christy Award. It is even written in large print, so it will be easy on the eyes.

I met Stephan at a writer’s conference in Oregon. He is a great keynote speaker, and easy to sit and talk with.

Here is the exciting part. This will not be a drawing. These books will go to the first 5 people who sign up for my free newsletter. The first one to sign-up will have the choice of any of the five books, and then each one after that will choose.

To do this is very simple. Go over to the right sidebar, and click on the icon that speaks about signing up for the newsletter. Notice that it also says you will be able to download a free eBook, called, The Top 25 Ways to Survive in a Troubled World.

Slogans are Misleading and Head us Down the Wrong Path

  “God Takes Care of Those who Take Care of Themselves”

This is just one example of sayings or slogans people use to justify the daily lives.

I heard a wonderful sermon by Pastor Scott Nelson of Morning Star Church in Salem, Oregon this last Sunday. I will be quoting some of his thoughts to help you understand how dangerous it is to live by these sayings.

 

“God will take care of those who take care of themselves.”

Think about that. Is that saying that he will not take care of those who can not take care of themselves? God doesn’t choose who needs taken care of. He loves us all and helps each of us to live a life that is there to glorify His name. We shouldn’t be trying to convince pe0ple that if they only tried to take care of themselves, then God would help them more.

                                     “My God doesn’t judge!”

Really? Imagine a world were there is no judgment. Everyone doing what they want with no consequences.  Actually God is the perfect judge. He is the only supreme court judge, and disciplines out of love.

Am earthly father does the same doesn’t he? he loves his children, but if they do something wrong, he also disciplines them out of love.

                  “My God lets me do what ever I want.”

This is a like combination of several religions put into one pot of soup. It’s like a person in a school cafeteria, with a tray, going along and picking out what they want to eat. They will have a variety of choices.

             “Truth is in the eyes of the beholder.”

Many people like this one because they are saying that what I do may not be right for you but it is for me. We live in a very diverse world today. People are popping up with their own little ideas what their religion should be, and they live by it.

I have same very sad news. None of these choices will lead you to  Heaven. There is only one way to get to Heaven, and it is so much easier, and less confusing than all of these choices. All you have to do is confess your sins to God and ask Him itno your heart, and you have eternal life. Remember that is the opposite of eternal death. I will not go there. I will let you figure that out.

“Reading the chapters was like eating potato chips–as I devoured them I kept saying, ‘Just one more!'”

                                                                                              Judy McKellar

“Nester offers the reader a path to gentle acceptance, and even moments of playfulness and joy–and always, always models profound love and respect for her mother.”
