Giveaway: Choose One Book From These Three Titles!

Synopsis: 

Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

Book Info



Synopsis:

Of all Paul's epistles, it is in Ephesians that we find the highest spiritual truths concerning the Christian life. At the same time it is intensely practical. The study guide is broken into four lessons covering the book's introduction and each of the three chapters. The lessons can also be divided into several sessions. Use for individual study and reflection and/or group study.







Synopsis:

In the spirit of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lamb among the Stars series weaves the worlds of science and the spirit, technology and the supernatural into something unique and haunting. On the faraway planet of Farholme, humans live in peace under the gentle rule of the Assembly. War and evil are ancient history. But suddenly, almost imperceptibly, things begin to change. Slowly a handful of men and women begin to realize that evil has returned and it must be fought.

What's Ahead For TCS

We created a list of the giveaways, book reviews, and interviews that are running during this month and into the next. Since there are so many giveaways, we thought this list would be helpful for you all. We stated in our Blogoversary Post that TCS will no longer be updated after all of these have been fulfilled. Because of that, we're not accepting any requests for reviews, interviews, or giveaways. What is listed below are the final posts we'll do for TCS. It's your last look at what's ahead. Take your time enjoying our blog and say hello to us on Twitter and Facebook. Wish us a Happy Blogoversary! ^_^

Coming Soon:

Our Last Post: Saying Farewell // April 5th

God bless!

Blogoversary Celebration Giveaway!


It's here. It's finally here! Our first year blogoversary! Today marks the first day of our week-long celebration. We'll kick it off with a special giveaway for you all. This giveaway starts now and ends on the 26th of March. The winner will be announced on the 27th. The rules are basically the same except for a few changes made specifically for this one (be sure to read them before entering). I hope you've been anticipating this as much as we have. You brought your invitations, right? Just kidding! No invitation required. However, we do require that you have fun!

TCS has accomplished a lot in a full year of blogging. We've done multiple book reviews, interviews, giveaways, and so much more. But... what's really important are the relationships we've created with our bookworms - who have always made us smile! Blogging our way through the year, we've connected with wonderful Christian authors, publishers, and bloggers. None of this would have been possible without your support and encouragement. Thank you!

We hope that TCS has been a pleasant spot on the internet for you to hang out and read our posts. Our TCS Team has done a great job with keeping up the Facebook Fan Page and Twitter. Please, give them a holler on those pages. It'll be fun!

Will we continue TCS? Just think of this as our last hurrah... After we've cleaned up the confetti from our blogoversary celebration and finished all book reviews, we'll say our farewell. I hope this hasn't come as a shock to you all. Grace (that's me) won't disappear completely from being on the web. She will still be involved with designing and photography. Bloggers, expect a visit from her every so often! Alright, let's make our last celebration an AWESOME one! Tell everyone you can! Go! Go! Go!

You're Invited!

March 19th of this year will be our 1st year blogoversary. Don't be surprised if I say that the 19th of March isn't when we started TCS. I'm thinking we began posting in February, but those interviews were from another blog (I don't really count them). The very first post was published on March 19th, so that will be our day for the blogoversary. Readers, whip out your pen and mark this date on your calendar!

I can't believe it'll already be a year. Wow! Time flies by so fast. We've come a long way and learned much from the realms of the book world. We met many new wonderful bookworms (yes, you!) and given books away (hopefully, you enjoyed). We're handing you an invitation to join us on March 19th to celebrate our blogoversary with a fun party. Stick around! There will be great prizes to enter for during that week in March.

Want to help us celebrate? If you'd like to set up a giveaway or contest during this particular week, send me an e-mail at gracethorson@gmail.com. We'd love to make this memorable for our readers as they journey forth into our second year. 

We look forward to putting on silly-looking hats and throwing colorful confetti everywhere (figuratively speaking). No worries! We'll clean up the mess. Don't forget to invite your friends... and bring a hat or... two. We expect to see you all there!

God bless!
