Weekly Giveaway (11/25)

“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’m giving away one or more of these items, absolutely free, no strings attached.

You can enter anytime during each week for that week’s giveaway, with a new giveaway beginning each Friday. To see a list of past giveaways, go here.


This week’s giveaway is special as it’s sponsored by Our Sunday Visitor (OSV). If you’re Catholic, you’ve probably heard of the publishing giant. For a hundred years they’ve produced books, software, educational materials, offering envelopes, and every week they deliver thousands of copies of the OSV Newsweekly across the country. They also published the Church and New Media book, and provide web design services through their Radius Web Tools suite, which places them on the forefront of both traditional and new media.

Be sure to follow Our Sunday Visitor on FacebookTwitterGoogle+, and the Daily Take blog for the latest books, news, and giveaways–in fact they just gave away a Kindle Fire and right now are giving out a copy of the new Roman Missal. You can also check out their complete selection of books in the OSV online catalog.



For today’s giveaway, OSV has provided THREE COPIES of The Saints in My Life: My Favorite Spiritual Companions by Fr. Benedict Groeschel. Fr. Groeschel is widely considered a modern spiritual master and in this book he reveals his favorite saints. For each one he includes:

  • His first encounter with the saint.
  • A brief sketch of the life and significance of the saint.
  • His friendship with and devotion to the saint.
  • The way the saint has influenced him and affected his life.

Read about his journey with St. Monica, St. Augustine, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and more!


In order to win one of the three copies, leave a comment below answering this question:

Who is your favorite spiritual companion, living or dead?


The winning comment will be randomly selected on Friday morning using a random number generator, and the giveaway item(s) will be sent out, free-of-charge, shortly thereafter.

In the future I’ll be giving away many more books and resources–sometimes multiple items per giveaway. So check back next Friday!

Update: The drawing is closed for the week of Friday, November 25. Congratulations to luvthebelovedone18, Joe Byrne, and Brianmcnavish for winning this week! Check your e-mail for instructions on receiving the book. If you don’t see an e-mail from me, check your spam box–apparently e-mails with “giveaway” in the subject line often end up there.
