If you where to buy these on your own it would cost you nearly $1500 (including round-trip flight to China, hotels, taxis and, of course, buying the actual book marks...) But they can be yours for free and we'll even cover shipping! All you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post saying what book your reading or wanting to read. If you start subscribing to our blog I will multiply your entry after you verify your subscription in the email sent to you. If you already subscribe, just let me know in your comment and I will multiply your entry as well :)
After three days I (or one of my kids) will randomly select one person as our winner! Take a look at these unique and cool book marks and then leave a comment :)
much love,

I think what you are doing in China is fab! I truly enjoy reading your blog and really see how dedicated you are as a family and the amount of loves that overflows is just amazing! :)

DeleteI just finished reading 7 by Jen Hatmaker - wonderful book - and I'm reading Song of Solomon by Tony Morrison because my daughter just wrote a paper on it. I'm new to your blog - found you at We Are Grafted In.
ReplyDeleteHi! Glad that you dropped by. I have really enjoyed the WAGI website and am glad they let me post for them. Thanks again for coming by. -Matt
DeleteReading 'Show me the way' (Nouwen) and 'A Free Life' (Ha Jin). You are truly a tremendous family! We are encouraged and honored to see 'glimpses' into your lives. Carry on!
ReplyDeleteHey guys! Thanks for the encouragement! It means a lot to us to hear that. If you're ever in Xian, look us up! -Matt
DeleteI am reading -Photographically Speaking: A deeper look at creating stronger images. By David Duchemin. He is one of my favorite Humanitarian Photographers.
ReplyDeleteAlso please let Matt know I havent forgotten about Cellblock 6!
Very cool Ted! I've enjoyed taking pictures with the camera our friend has borrowed us. I will never forget my brothers in the struggle on Cellblock 6! -Matt
DeleteWow! Congratulations on your new additions! Thank you for your contribution a while back to "Earthen Vessels" (the editor is our daughter). Maybe you will have to provide an update article!
ReplyDeleteI just started using "Long Story Short" by Marty Machowski for our Bible time with our younger crew.
May God bless you both with His strength, love, and wisdom!!
Hey Julie! I loved getting to write for "Earth Vessels" it was such a cool experience! And YES I would love to write an update article! My family that got the magazine really enjoyed it. Thank you for coming by here Julie! Have a wonderful day. -Matt
DeleteJust found your blog through the We Are Grafted In site. Can't wait to read through it.
ReplyDeleteI am currently in the middle of a book called Bridge of Birds: A Novel of Ancient China that Never Was (Barry Hugbart). However, I have dozens and dozens of books on my "must read" pile and on my Kindle. Just never have enough time to sit down and read to my heart's content!
Love the bookmarks!
Hi! glad you were able to find us through WAGI and am encouraged that you want to look through our blog. Thanks for stopping by. -Matt
DeleteNot that I'm entering my own contest, but I thought I would add what I'm reading. I'm wanting to read through "Seeing is believing" by Greg Boyd. It's a book about prayer.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading "A Place of Healing, Wrestling with the Mysteries of Suffering, Pain, and God's Sovereignty" by Joni Eareckson Tada.
ReplyDeleteHappy early St. Patrick's Day! Do you even have shamrocks over there? :)
Johanna
Awesome Johanna! Thanks for stopping by. -Matt
DeleteI must start by saying that you guys are truly amazing and we are so blessed to call you our friends! I am also reading a Greg Boyd book, "Is God to Blame?" It's amazing--offering insight into questions about God that have plaqued me for years. Sending our love to your whole clan!! Tammy
ReplyDeleteTammy you're too kind! Thank you so much for your encouraging words! Send our love to your family as well! -Matt
DeleteSo I subscribed to have your updates emailed to me. I will have you know that it took me multiple tries to get that verification code down right. And I just got new contact lenses today! maybe my fingers are too fat to type correctly? ;) anyway, I have decided that if I do not win, I will just have to get the plane ticket, fly to China and purchase one myself. yes, that's what I'll do either way. It's all decided :) Holly
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Yeah the verification code can be hard for me to get too. Awesome! When you come you can get a couple of these! -Matt
DeleteThis giveaway is closed. Tomorrow we will have a winner!
