I would like to start 2009 with my first giveaway. I have some prizes that I think are pretty nice, I hope you agree.
The first thing is the NIV True Identity Bible. This is the soft cover one & it's so pretty.
Even the inside is pretty, in colors of blue & green.
Second, I have The Secrets of the Vine Devotional, by Bruce Wilkinson. This book describes itself as 31 days to discovering and abundant life.
Lastly is a set of 8 notecards with envelopes, created from some of my Word Filled Wednesday posts.
If I get inspired I might even toss something else in, who knows?
Now to the how to play info.
1. You can earn one entry each day for leaving me a comment here telling me a bible verse that inspires you. Simple, huh?
2. You can earn an extra entry by blogging about this contest & leaving me another message with the link.
3. Finally you can earn another entry by following me & once again, leaving me a comment letting me know that you are following me. If you are one of the thousands already following me just leave a comment saying that.
By having you leave a comment for each entry you make, I will be able to use the random number generator thingie easily to pick the winner.
Comments for this contest will be closed at midnight on Tuesday, January 13th & a winner will be picked on Wednesday, January 14th. If you don't have a blog where I can leave you a message if you win, please put your e-mail address in your entries.

Good luck & thanks for playing!

Great giveaway! Sounds inspirational for sure.
I love the verse Psalm 51:10 "Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a right spirit within me".
I pray that for myself daily....cause I need it!
I just read Tiny the gerbil is still in the freezer....when's the burial scheduled? Poor guy!
I would like to enter the giveaway too! Here is a verse that I have been focusing on lately...Psalm 1:1-3 Happy are those who dont listen to the wicked, who dont go where sinners go, who dont do what evil people do. They love the Lord's teachings, and they think about those teachings day and night. They are strong, like a tree planted by a river. the tree produces fruit in season, and it's leaves dont die. Everything they do will succeed.
My verse I read everyday is Luke 16:10
If your are faithful in the little things, you will be faithful in the large ones. But if you are dishonest in the little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. As a christian sales rep this starts my day!

Each day is a trial - some good, some bad, but I know that I am safe.
Psalms 23:4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I fear not, for your rod and staff comfort me.
If I ever feel unhappy with someone, I try to remember I Corinthians 13, the ever popular "love" verses. Love never fails. There remains, faith, hope and love - but the greatest of these is love.
I'm now one of your stalkers, I mean followers
I put a post on my blog to help add to the traffic for these great books.

I would like to enter the giveaway!
Psalm 84:11
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.
Count me in!
My favorite verse is found in Romans 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Great job on the giveaway! You know I am a follower.
My favorite verse is 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares for you! I love that verse.
John 3:30: He must become greater, I must become less.
Pretty much says it all! Blessings to you!
One of my favorite verses is Romans 8:28. Great giveaways and so pretty too.
Bible verse that inspires me lately is Zephaniah 3:17, "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." I just need to rest in the promises of this verse. :)
But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
1 Tim. 1:5
Hi Mimi, I've already forgotten how I found your blog. :) I have never seen that Bible, it looks inviting and I LOVE Bruce Wilkinson.
I have become a follower, although I really don't know what that does. But I am highly intrigued by this Bible giveaway. It is fun to do giveaways.
Great giveaway! I saw your comment on Joanne's Blog "An Open Book" and decided to barge in. :) I've just become a follower!!
A teaser for my WFW, and the topic that's been on my heart...
You turn {things} around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, "He did not make me"; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?" Isaiah 29:16
Thanks for the note about your giveaway! Guess I'll give you my WFW verse - Be joyful in hope, patient in tribulation, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12. Thanks for letting me enter!
A Bible verse that inspires me is
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or rude. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
1 Corinthian 13:4-7
I posted about this giveaway on my blog.

Ooh what a beautiful book. My verse is....not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God....2 Corinthians 3:5
I just added you to my list of blogs I follow :)
Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.
2Corinthians 4:16
Ok, so apparently I have trouble following directions. I posted my entry and forgot to post my favorite scripture. I apologize. I will play nicely now :o)
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
Thanks for hosting this Mimi! The Bible and the cards are beautiful!
And I am now a follower! I am will also try to get a link posted later today! Thanks Mimi!
The verse that most resonates with me is Psalm 119:11
"Your word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against You!"
To keep His word in my heart, I read it and apply that word to my life!
I am following you!

Oh how fun. I wish I could visit everyday but I can't I'll play along anyway. My verse this week is from Psalm 18 I had a hard time choosing one from this passage but here is the one I am working on. v29 "In your strength I can crush an army with my God I can scale any wall." I need God's strength right now and this reminded me that he is there even when I can't tell that he is. Thanks for offering this fun giveway.
Many Blessings,
Sherry

What a great giveaway! Here's my contribution:
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Saw you at Blog Mommas!
This looks like a wonderful giveaway. I have been inspired this past week by the thought that God knows me. He knows my thoughts before I think them! This verse inspires me, too. It is what I want my attitude to be.
Psalm 139 v17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
A Bible verse that inspires me is Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
That verse as always kept me plugging away even in tough times.
The comments for the contest are closed. I'll have the winner tomorrow.
Thank you so much for providing me with such inspiration!
