Book Giveaway - A Mother's Heart Knows

Time for the book giveaway, as promised.

To enter to win a copy of "A Mother's Heart Knows" just leave a comment on this post. Only one comment per person will be counted.

This giveaway will be open until noon Central Standard Time on Saturday, April 26, 2008, at which time I'll use a random number generator to choose a winner.

Please NOTE: This giveaway is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada only. Please be sure you have a working link or a valid email address with your entry comment. It's a bit difficult to contact you to tell you you've won and get your name and address information without a valid link or email address.

I'll announce the winner in my Sunday Dinner post on Saturday evening, April 27, 2008.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'll get the book mailed out next week after I get the winner's mailing information and the winner should get it in plenty of time to give for Mother's Day if they choose to do so.

Here's what the book's promoter said about the book:

About the book: What better way to tell Mom how much you appreciate her on Mother's Day than with this lovely reminder of thoughts about the loving, selfless attitudes that fill a mother's heart?

The text and original four-color illustrations will be a beautiful and touching reminder to Mom that her love is never forgotten. The text is a reminder of those things that only a mother's heart knows, with some special emphasis on a Christian mother. Appropriate Scripture verses will be incorporated into the design element.

All royalty proceeds from this book go to WINGS (Women In Need Growing Stronger) and a student missionary scholarship fund. WINGS is a non-profit organization that provides a domestic violence shelter for women and their children in addition to transitional housing and programs.

And a little about the author:

Margaret lives with her husband and two daughters in a Chicago suburb. Her book, A Mother’s Heart Knows was published by Thomas Nelson in 2005. Go Back and Be Happy, a co-authored book will be published by Lion Hudson in July 2008. Margaret has been featured on Greg Wheatly’s “Prime Time America,” TLN’s “Aspiring Women,” and LeSea’s “The Harvest Show.” Margaret writes freelance articles for The Daily Herald, the largest suburban Chicago newspaper.

Supporting charitable causes is important to Margaret. For the past five years, she has served on the board of directors for WINGS, an organization that helps abused women and their children get a new start in life.
