Win a Copy of 'A Perfect Mess' by Lisa Harper
We are participating in the blog tour for Lisa Harper's new book "A Perfect Mess." For a chance to win a free copy, send an email with your name, address and phone number to masterworkproductions@yahoo.com with "Perfect Mess Giveaway" in the subject line. All entrees received by 5 pm Sunday, July 26, 2009 will have a chance to win a copy of the book.
Publisher's Summary:Caught up in the self-imposed pressure to do and be all the things they think a Christian woman ought to do and be, countless women are working desperately to convince everyone, including God, that they have it all together. Few have any idea that the Creator of the universe looks at them with delight even when they yell at the dog, drive a minivan littered with French fries, or think bad words about that rude clerk at the store.
"A Perfect Mess" offers hope to every woman who yearns for a vibrant relationship with God but worries she isn’t good enough or doesn’t do enough to merit His affection. With characteristic authenticity, speaker and author Lisa Harper shares poignant stories from her own imperfect life to showcase the real-life relevancy of the Bible in the lives of modern women.
As she guides readers on a story-driven journey through selected Psalms, they will be inspired to experience for themselves how God’s incomparable love transforms the messiness of life into a gorgeous work of grace.
Lisa Harper is a master storyteller whose lively approach connects the dots between the Bible era and modern life. She is a sought-after Bible teacher and speaker whose upcoming appearances include the national Women of Faith Conferences. A veteran of numerous radio and television programs and the author of several books, she also is a regular columnist for "Today’s Christian Woman" magazine.
