Weekly Giveaway (12/03)

“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. To see a list of past giveaways, go here.

I previously called this “Free Stuff Friday”, accepting entries from Friday morning to Saturday morning, but I’m now stretching out the giveaway through the whole week. You can enter anytime during the week for that week’s giveaway, with a new giveaway beginning each Friday.

This week’s giveaway is the largest yet, including three different items. In honor of Pope Benedict’s latest book-length interview and his recent letter on ScriptureVerbum Domini–one winner will receive the three following items, absolutely free:

  • The Joy of Knowing Christ (Pope Benedict XVI) – Taken from homilies and addresses since becoming pope, this collection shows us by example how much nourishment and inspiration we can derive from meditating on Scripture as we open our hearts and minds to God’s love and its power to renew our world.
  • Dei Verbum (Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation) – From the Second Vatican Council, this document provides a wonderful introduction and summary of the Church’s teaching on Scripture.
  • Promotion of Biblical Studies (Divino Afflante Spiritu) -An encyclical letter from Pope Pius XII on how to truthfully study Scripture.

   

Each of these items are in brand new condition, and reading them alongside the Pope’s recent letter will fully present how the Catholic Church understands, studies, and reveres Sacred Scripture.

To enter to win, fill out your name and e-mail address in the form below. None of your information will ever be given out, and I will only use it to contact the winner. The winner will be selected on Saturday using a random generator, and the giveaway item(s) will be sent out, free-of-charge, shortly thereafter.

In the future, I will be giving away books, CD’s, and DVD’s, sometimes more than one item per giveaway. Check back next Friday!

(One entry per person, please. The deadline for each entry will be 11:59pm each Friday. Since I’m covering the shipping costs, only residents within the continental United States will be eligible to win.)

Update: The drawing is closed for the week beginning on Friday, 12/03. Congratulations to Dwight S. for winning this week–check your e-mail for instructions on receiving the book. And check the blog for the next giveaway!
