Also joining us is Carole from the Power of Words. You can follow Carole on Pinterest, Twitter,  and Facebook. She will be giving away the book which she reviewed on her blog here :

Summary:

An empty nest has Ingrid Christiansen dreading the upcoming holidays, but her husband, John, couldn’t be more excited about this new season of life. He even has a surprise trip abroad  planned. He’s sure she’ll love it. What’s more romantic than Christmas in Paris?

Before he can stop her, however, Ingrid agrees to spearhead a major church project. Then their faithful dog, Butterscotch, needs emergency surgery, draining their savings. And then—because  disasters strike in threes—an unexpected guest arrives, dredging up old hurts.

As a beautiful blanket of snow transforms the north woods into a winter wonderland, a deep chill settles over John and Ingrid’s marriage. With the holidays fast approaching, their only hope of keeping their love evergreen depends on turning the page on the past and embracing a new chapter of their future.

Your hosts, Mary and Ashley are giving away these books:

 

This small  book, 365 Pocket Prayers for Mother by Christian authors and mothers, Amie Carlson, Karen Hodge, and Erin Kelley Marshall, is packed with quick prayers tied into the Word of God that you can meditate on and let sink into your soul.  Tyndale House Publishers provided me with a copy of this book which I will mail to the winner. 🙂

You see more in my review of this book here.

This beautiful book by author R. Mitchell Scott was published by Ambassador International. The publisher provided me with a copy and will be sending a copy to our winner. You can read my review here!
