"grace unplugged" giveaway

I was super excited to get an email from PartnersHub, asking if I wanted to give away some great stuff in relation to the new movie Grace Unplugged! So here's what you can win:

• Grace Unplugged Soundtrack CD      - Songs by TobyMac, AJ Michalka, Chris Tomlin and Shawn McDonald. • Grace Unplugged: A Novel by Melody Carlson. • Own It: The book Discover Your Faith in God by Michael & Hayley DiMarco. • Grace Unplugged Exclusive Guitar Pick.

Haven't heard of the movie yet? Here you go: "Sometimes, chasing your dreams leads you right to where you belong! Having just turned 18, Grace Trey aspires to more than just singing at her church where her father, a former pop star, is the worship leader. So, with the help of Mossy, her dad's former manager, Grace records a cover version of her dad's old Top-10 hit, runs off to Los Angeles, and begins to taste the kind of stardom she's always dreamed about. 

Yet with each rung of the ladder she climbs, Grace feels more and more pressure to compromise her values, further straining her relationship with her parents. Will everything she experiences lead her to reject her faith...or rediscover it?

Grace Unplugged opens in theaters October 4 and is "Family Approved" by the Dove Foundation."

The Grace Unplugged Cast:

AJ Michalka

James Denton

Kevin Pollak

Michael Welch

book giveaway: andrea boeshaar books

I've been a little MIA lately but it's been for a great reason. I have a teaching job! I was hired the last week of July to teach first grade. So while it's been a complete answer to prayer for this job, it's also taking all of my time right now. I've heard the "staying late after school and bringing things home to work on" does get better so I'm hoping that to be true :) I'll be sharing some great blogs I've come across that are full of amazing (and free) resources for your classroom. I'm putting the book review part of this blog on temporary hold since free time to read is rare right now. I've managed to collect some great recipes over the last few weeks so I'll be posting those (yum!). And because I've been away, I'm making up for it by giving away three books this month! Three bloggers will each receive a book! To enter, just leave me an email address and a comment, telling me which you'd like (U.S. only this time). Winners will be drawn at random using random.org. Giveaway will end Sunday, September 30 at 8:00 p.m. (ET).

Unexpected Love by Andrea Boeshaar

Undaunted Faith by Andrea Boeshaar

Uncertain Heart by Andrea Boeshaar

book review: "mornings with Jesus" & giveaway

'"Be still and know that I am God” is one of the most beautiful verses from the Bible, but it’s not easy to practice in this busy world. Mornings with Jesus will help you do just that —“be still” in Jesus’ beautiful and powerful presence. For those who are seeking a deeper experience in their relationship with Christ, Mornings with Jesus offers a fresh perspective of who Jesus is (the Healer, the Son of God, the Comforter, the Good Shepherd) and what that means for day-to-day life. With a warm and friendly voice, 365 short devotional writings on the character and teachings of Jesus encourage readers to greet each day by drawing near to Him and inviting His presence into their day. Spend time with Jesus at the beginning of each day and experience His nearness and peace in a new way throughout the year. Each day’s selection includes: • a Bible verse • an entry based on Jesus: His words, miracles, and parables; His wisdom, compassion, and comfort; His mystery, power, divinity, and humanity • a “faith step” that will inspire and challenge readers to apply the day’s message to their lives."

I was excited to be able to review this book! I’ve read works by several of the authors so it was very cool to be able to peek into their hearts as they shared. With it only being January, I’ve not read very much of the book but I have no doubt the rest is full of great stuff! The devotionals are only a page – great for reading on your way out the door in the morning and then “munching on” for the rest of the day. The one that has stood out to me the most is by Camy Tang. It was for January 29 and she talked about making the choice to be faithful in the things you put your hands to. Those things will be different for each of us but her point was to prove yourself faithful to God and He’ll bless you for it. The verse was Matthew 25:21 (parable about the three stewards) and she made this comment: “None of these things [the things God has given her – job, family, working with her youth ministry, etc.] requires gold so I never equated them with the things the master talks about in the parable. But then I realized that he didn’t specify gold. He praised the servant for being faithful with a few things.” That’s something I’m going to work on – being faithful with what God has given me and giving all of my focus and energy into those things. These are great women to learn from and I look forward to the rest of the year!
