Cecelia's Christian Fiction Blog

A fun place to discuss Christian novels, the Bible, and writing-related topics. Although my focus is Christian fiction, I'll still talk about an occasional secular fiction title or an inspirational non-fiction book.

Cecelia, this is a wonderful book giveaway and these all look like delightful books. I must admit I'm not entering the contest to win for myself, but to give to a friend. She's 81 and loves to read when she's not crocheting. These are the type of books she loves.

Well since I'm already a subscriber and follower...I just want to quick let you know that I always appreciate a giveaway. It's so generous of any author to give away one of their books.

This year I'm signed up for quite a few challenges, I'm signed up to read just over 200 books. I'm not doing so bad for only being 15 days into the year. I figure that's only 2 books a week to call it good, and I'm already ahead of schedule :)

I'd love to win any or all of these books you have posted. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
