Amazing book + GIVEAWAY!


UPDATED:  The winner of the giveaway was Loren.  Thanks for all who entered!

I am so thankful to have the opportunity to share this book with you today.  It is called Miracle for Jen by Linda Barrick from Tyndale House Publishers.

Jennifer Barrick and her family (Linda, Andy, and brother Josh) were driving home from a concert in their van in November 2006 when they were hit by a drunk driver.  Jen suffered the most serious injuries and was not expected to live.  This book is the amazing true story of this family. Jen wakes up remembering nothing, yet she does remember Bible verses and continually prays and praises God with great clarity. 

In this book, Linda (Jen's mother) shares the details of the accident, injuries of each family member, and their recoveries.  She prayed fervently for a miracle for her daughter and for her daughter to be normal again.  She shares all the things she learned through this experience as God gave her daughter a new "normal" after the accident.     

This is a touching, inspiring book and a real blessing to read.  I highly recommend it to you.  Here is a video clip about the book.  When you see the pictures from the accident, you will be shocked like I was that anyone came out of that wreckage alive.  God clearly had a plan for this family! 
   

I have a giveaway to share with you as well.  I have been provided with a certificate to mail one winner.   You can use the certificate for a copy of the book at your local store.  To be entered in this contest, please leave a comment on this post telling me you'd like to win.  I will choose a winner next Thursday, March 29, 2012. 
(I was given a copy of this book from Tyndale Blog Network for my honest review.) 

Have a day of blessings!
