We have two copies of Putting God Back in the Holidays by Bill & Penny Thrasher* to give away!
Here’s what the publisher, Moody Publishers, has to say about this book:
This book has been conceived and designed over 30 years as Dr. Bill Thrasher has spoken to thousands of people, helping them realize the spiritual battle that surrounds their celebration of the holidays. Littered with practical thoughts, ideas, experiences, and stories, Putting God Back in the Holidays will help you and your family celebrate holidays and birthdays with biblical truth in mind.
Putting God Back in the Holidays covers more than just Thanksgiving and Christmas. Included are ideas for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, Arbor Day and quite a few others.
If you would like to be entered into the drawing to win one of our two copies of Putting God Back in the Holidays, please send an email to admin at a martha heart dot com (replacing at with @, dot with . and taking out all of the spaces, of course), with the subject line reading PGBH Giveaway. The giveaway is open to residents of the 50 United States as well as residents of Canada. Entries will be accepted until 11:59pm Wednesday, November 17, 2010.
Two names will be randomly chosen Thursday, November 18, 2010. The winners will be announced that day on A Martha Heart!
This book can also be found in A Martha Heart’s Bookstore for purchase here.
*Thank you to Whitney Cornett at Moody Publishers for providing 3 free copies of Putting God Back in the Holidays (one for review and two for this giveaway).

We have more giveaways coming ~ quite a few over the next few weeks (some great scented candles, a couple of spa sets, a Michael Chiarello signed cookbook, and MORE!), just in time for Christmas. Sign up to have A Martha Heart delivered to your email box or your favorite reader and you’ll never miss a giveaway announcement!

I just love getting packages in the mail, from UPS or FedEx. It doesn’t matter to me how the package arrives, only that it does. Occasionally I’ll see the UPS or FedEx truck drive past my house, and it always makes me feel a little sad that they didn’t stop to leave something for me.
Recently a package from MyBlogSpark arrived on my front porch. The goodies it contained were from Pillsbury, which has partnered with MyBlogSpark to get the word out about Pillsbury’s new Sweet Moments Brownies. I received a “Sweet Moments” t-shirt, refrigerator magnets, a cute little birdie necklace, and coupons for Pillsbury Sweet Moments Brownies ~ all for free to me from Pillsbury and MyBlogSpark!
Here’s what Pillsbury has to say about their new brownies:
Pillsbury Sweet Moments Brownies, now available in the refrigerated baked goods section of the grocery store, are perfect for indulging any time of the day. The Bite-Size Brownies, which are layered with either rich caramel or fudge, and wrapped in a chocolaty coating, are just the right size to grab and go for a quick pick-me-up. They’re ready to eat, so you can indulge when cravings strike – without preparation! And, at 60 calories per brownie, they’re just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.
And to reward yourself for a busy day well spent, try Sweet Moments Molten Lava Brownies, which are served in single-serve bowls and are also available in rich caramel and fudge varieties. Each brownie is covered in decadent chocolate or creamy caramel and topped with a chocolatey drizzle. After only 15 seconds in the microwave, the brownie bowls are warm and ready to enjoy. When chocolate heaven is this easy, how could you resist pausing for Sweet Moments at the end of your day?
What’s even sweeter is that you can now deliver special “Sweet Moments” to someone who you know could use an indulgent escape, by stopping by Pillsbury.com and Pillsbury’s Facebook page to send a special e-card with a coupon for $1.50 off one package of Pillsbury Sweet Moments Brownies. You’ll also receive another coupon for yourself.
Did you catch that last part? You can send an e-card containing a coupon for $1.50 off one package of Pillsbury Sweet Moments Brownies to someone special, and you’ll receive one for yourself as well! The e-cards are only available through the end of this month though, so be quick about sending one to that special someone and printing out your own coupon. I already sent my e-card and coupon, and it was super easy to do. I sent it to my daughter who thinks that chocolate should be its own food group!
Now, you might be wondering, “What does this have to do with spending time at Jesus’ feet?” Well, let’s look at it this way ~ as your mouth is full with that brownie bite or ooey, gooey, warm caramel molten lava brownie bowl, you can have a silent conversation with God (also known as prayer)!
These brownies would also fit in nicely as a quick snack on family game night, or even as an easy dessert after a family dinner. Family movie night can always use more chocolate to balance out the salty popcorn ~ quick and simple brownies fit the bill.
Here’s the really great part: Pillsbury and MyBlogSpark are going to give a prize pack to one of A Martha Heart‘s readers. The prize pack will contain a Sweet Moments t-shirt, refrigerator magnets, a cute little birdie necklace, and a coupon for a FREE Brownie Bites or Brownie Bowl. The prize pack is being provided by Pillsbury through MyBlogSpark, and it will be shipped directly to the giveaway winner’s home.
To enter the giveaway, simply send an email to admin at a martha heart dot com (please be sure to change the “at” to @, the “dot” to . and omit all of the spacing). It will be helpful if you’ll put “Sweet Moments Giveaway” in the subject box ~ that way we’ll know immediately that you’re emailing us to enter the giveaway.
As far as I can tell there are no restrictions regarding what countries the prize pack can be sent to, so even if you live in Barbados it’s okay to enter this giveaway. Email entries will be accepted until 11:59pm Central time on Friday, October 29, 2010. The winner will be announced on Monday, November 1, right here on A Martha Heart!
