Love & War - Giveaway!

Over the past couple of weeks I have been reading Love & War by John & Stasi Eldredge. 

If you are wondering why its taken so long...remember I have a two year old and I work full time!

Anyway, before I tell you about the book, I have to tell you a little story about how I was introduced to this fabulous book.  A couple months ago MckMama tweeted about the book. It sparked my interest enough for me to google the book and see what she was talking about.  Then she posted about the book on her blog, including a giveaway of an autographed copy.  By that point, I knew I wanted to read it.  I was going through a very difficult time in my life, my marriage had been struggling for quite a while, and then my best friend lost her 19 month old baby girl.  I had just returned from a weeklong trip to Nebraska to help my friend say good-bye to her baby.  Unfortunetly that trip drained me in lots of way, including my bank account!  I had to take the time off work unpaid for that trip, plus gas and other misc expenses while I was there.  Anyway, I posted in the comments something about how I could really use that book right now, but couldn't afford it because of the huge burden I was dealing with...so I hoped to win it in the giveaway.  I did not win, but one of MckMama's amazing readers saw my comment and offered to send me a book as a gift.  What a blessing! 

Since that time, I have been slowly making my way through the book.  I am really enjoying it.  It is written as if you are sitting down over a cup of coffee having a deep conversation with the John & Stasi Eldredge.  They share intimate details of their own marriage and struggles they have dealt with over the years.  Its one of the most honest books about marriage I have ever read.  I am already noticing positive changes in my marriage, thanks to this book!  I can honestly say, we are in a better place and are happier than we have been in years!  

Regardless if you are newly engaged or have been married for many years, this book is for you.  I encourage you to open up your hearts to the idea of reading this book.  Its very entertaining and enlightening.

I am so excited to be able to offer a brand new copy of this book for my first giveaway! (courtesy of Ransomed Heart Ministries)
