“Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.” – St. Augustine
Because I’ve built up a large collection of duplicate books and resources, each week I give away one or more of these items, absolutely free, no strings attached.
You can enter anytime during the week for this week’s giveaway, with a new one beginning each Friday. To check out a list of past giveaways, go here.
Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith
by Fr. Robert Barron
By now you’ve probably heard of the epic Catholicism project, created and hosted by Fr. Robert Barron. The ambitious work includes a stunning 10-part film series, which has aired on PBS and EWTN, an engaging study program adopted by hundreds of parishes across the country, and an accompanying book which has been acclaimed far and wide (one obscure blogger even named it his Favorite Book of 2011).
George Weigel calls the Catholicism project, “the most important media project in the history of the Catholic Church in America”. And I agree. In my review of the book I said:
“(It’s) the greatest catechetical tool of our generation….In a culture hungry for truth, Catholicism offers answers. To people searching for goodness, it shows the path toward sainthood. In a world desperate for beauty, this book ravishes.”
Today I’m *thrilled* to announce the largest giveaway in Thin Veil history, all centered around the Catholicism project. We’re giving away six items worth more than $350 including:
- ONE set of the 10-part Catholicism DVD series (donated by Word on Fire)
- ONE full edition of the Catholicism Study Guide (donated by Word on Fire)
- FOUR copies of the book Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith, including one signed by Fr. Barron (donated by Image Books)
Next Friday morning (3/9) I’ll use a random generator to select six different winners, one for each item. Unlike our normal giveaways, you can receive up to three entries in this drawing through the following avenues:
– Commenting. Leave a comment below answering this question: What excites you most about the Catholicism project?
– Facebook. Link to this giveaway post and tag me (Brandon Vogt) and “The Catholicism Project” Facebook page.
– Twitter. Link to this giveaway post and tag @BrandonVogt1 and @FrRobertBarron.
To learn more about the project, and to view highlights from each episode in the series, be sure to visit CatholicismSeries.com:
UPDATE: The drawing is closed and the winners can be found here.
The winning comments will be randomly selected next Friday morning and the items will be sent out, free-of-charge, shortly thereafter to the winners.
In the future I’ll be giving away many more books and resources–sometimes multiple items per giveaway. So check back next Friday for more!
(Since I’m covering the shipping costs, only residents within the continental United States will be eligible to win.)
