My first second giveaway - deadline extended

Up for grabs this time are book #1 (NEW party edition with celebrations & recipes) of the Yada Yada Prayer Group series AND the Yada Yada Prayer Journal! Just leave a comment here to be entered. I don't require posting about the giveaway to enter, but please consider at least a mention to spread the word a bit... and get 2 extra chances. If you haven't read these books, you're in for a treat. Deadline for entries is 12 NOON EST, 1 January, 2009. I'll announce the winner by 11.59PM same day.

What do an ex-con, a former addict, a real estate broker, a college student, and a married mother of two have in common?

Nothing, or so I thought. Who would have imagined that God would make a group as mismatched as ours the closet of friends?

I almost didn’t even go to the Chicago Women’s Conference – after all, being thrown together with five hundred strangers wasn’t exactly my "comfort zone." But I would be rooming with my boss, Avis, and I hoped that maybe I might make a friend or two.

When Avis and I were assigned to a prayer group of twelve women at the conference, I wasn’t sure what to think. There was Flo, an outspoken ex-drug addict; Ruth, a Messianic Jew who could smother-mother you to death; and Yo-Yo, an ex-con who wasn’t even a Christian! Not to mention women from Jamaica, Honduras, South Africa – practically a mini-United Nations. We certainly didn’t have much in common.

But something happened that weekend to make us realize we had to hang together. So "the Yada Yada Prayer Group" decided to keep praying for each other via e-mail. That worked for a while, but our personal struggles and requests soon got too intense for cyberspace, so we decided to meet together every other Sunday night.

Talk about a rock tumbler!–knocking off each other’s rough edges, learning to laugh and cry along the way. But when I faced the biggest crisis of my life, God used my newfound girlfriends to help teach me – Jodi Baxter, longtime Christian "good girl" – what it means to be just a sinner saved by grace.

My first GIVEAWAY!

Most of my readers don't post their comments here, so y'all have a really good chance at this. 8-]

This is one of my favourite movies ever. It delivers a wonderful message about purity. If you have or know someone who has teens or pre-teens, this movie is, IMO, a must for your DVD collection.

From the back:

This motion picture portrays the unique story of Pamela Bucklin
from her birth in 1969 to her wedding day in 1991.

All of her friends were dating.
Pamela was not.
And it seemed unfair that her father
insisted on such a high standard of purity.
Yes, it seemed unfair...
until the day she married.
