STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN CD GIVEAWAY!

Recently EMI Music contacted me to ask if I'd be interested in receiving Steven Curtis Chapman's new CD to review on my blog, and perhaps also host a giveaway for "THIS MOMENT". I emailed them that I'd be very interested, and also if they'd send me an extra CD that I'd give it away on my blog.

I included my address on the email, sent it out into cyberspace and promptly forgot all about it, thinking that I'd receive a confirmation email from them and then they'd mail the CD's to me in a couple of weeks or so.

If memory serves me correctly, and there's every chance in the world that it doesn't, but extend some grace here, people - exactly 2 days later there was a padded envelope from EMI in my mailbox containing 2 SCC CD's! One for me to listen to, review and keep (it's mine! mine I tell you! all MINE!) and one to offer for this giveaway to some blessed recipient.

(Don't you just love my righteous skilz with my digital camera? And you can believe that you're getting a NEW CD as opposed to a used one by looking at the wrinkledy cellophane on the CD. Also: I do not know if "wrinkledy" is a real word or not, but it is indeed appropriate here. Thank you. Thank you very much.)

I have to say that I LOVE this CD! There are a couple of songs that really stand out for me as personal favorites, but overall this is a good solid CD.

"Cinderella" is my pick for best song on the CD, and you can visit EMI's site for this single by clicking HERE. You can listen to "Cinderella" and there's also a link to Steven's personal blog and a lot of other things to explore there.

"Broken" and "My Surrender" are definitely keepers, but "One Heartbeat At A Time" is a heartfelt tribute to mothers the world over and it's just in time for Mother's Day.

If you've ever wondered if you're making a difference in your children's lives, "One Heartbeat At A Time" is an affirmation that Mamas are indeed making a difference with each encouraging word, each hug and kiss and every loving moment we share with our children.

And now the technical details of this here giveaway:
