THANK YOU!! Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

In June I posted my review of The Next Target by Nikki Arana (with a 3 book giveaway) and asked you all to comment because if I was one of the two bloggers with the most comments/shares, I'd win a Kindle Fire courtesy of David C. Cook Publishers... well, I won!! Thank you ALL soooooo much! I'm so excited to have won and thankful that you'd take the time to comment. :) 



Anyway, to show my appreciation, I decided to do a "Thank you" giveaway. The prize? A $10.00 Amazon Gift Card! This giveaway is only open to those able to receive Amazon Gift cards. Giveaway ends 8/18/12

Enter via the Rafflecopter below and thanks again. =)

    What are we commenting on? Just celebrating with you that you won? I can do that. Congratulations on winning! Enjoy your new toy! (I must admit, if I won one, I'd sell it and use the money to buy real books. If I have to read an e-book I can read it on my laptop with the free adobe digital editions program :-D)
    Nice verse by the way. That's the standard we should be judging all of our books by. I'm really struggling right now because A LOT of the books I'm reading are morally good, but they don't contain the truth. They leave you thinking you just have to be a good person, not put your trust in Christ for your salvation. Then there are the Christian books, published by Christian publishers, written by supposedly Christian authors that even have foul language in them! I just don't understand why Christian books can't be Christian anymore. Sigh. That's what Phil 4:8 makes me think of. When I was young, my mom taught me to judge media by the Phil. 4:8 "test". If it didn't meet those standards, it wasn't worth giving my time to. Maybe I was just blessed with a more awesome mom than some :-D
