If you’ve read any on my blog, or even more so if you’re a friend of mine on Facebook or Twitter, then you know how touched I’ve been by Kimberly L. Smith’s book, “Passport Through Darkness.” Her book has started to literally change my life. It’s changing the way I look at everything in life, including the simple things like having running clean water. I’ve always taken running clean water for granted. It’s been there since birth and I can’t imagine not having something so seemingly simple. But there are those that do not have running water, that do not have clean water, that have to walk miles to get even dirty water.
Because of it’s impact to those who read this book, I want to see as many as possible read it. God is using Kimberly L. Smith to open eyes to see needs that are there. Jesus very clearly tells us in Matthew 22: 37-40 that we are to love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our mind and that equally important is to love our neighbors as ourselves. We read that in our Bibles, most people know those verses well, but what does it look like in a practical way? Kimberly gives us perfect examples in “Passport Through Darkness” of exactly what that can look like.
So here’s the deal – Kimberly and her organization Make Way Partners will give away a copy of her incredible book to the person that shares this blog post, and/ or my blog in general, the most (the particulars of how this will work will be at the end of this post). You can keep the book you win or you can give it to someone else and change their life, either way you will be helping to make a difference for the Lord. Listen… The more we share this information, this incredible story of love, the more people will be made aware of the great need that’s out there and the more people will be changed and thereby helped. I am going to run this contest from the second it’s published until Thanksgiving Day (November 22, 2012).
Contest Rules: To win you simply need to share, share, and share this post and my blog in general, everywhere – via email, Facebook, Twitter, word of mouth, and so on… JUST SHARE and when you share, ask each and every person to comment below or to email me at LetsSpeakGently @ gmail . com, and let me know that you’ve shared it with them.
The person who shares it the most will be the winner and the winner will be announced on my blog on November 22, 2012. Please come back here to look to see if you’ve won around the time frame of 7:00 pm EST.
Please, above all else remember – Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27 This contest is about sharing a story about what it means to do exactly what this Scripture tells us to do and how doing so not only changes the people being helped, but also how it changes the lives of the helpers. It’s important – God says so, let’s help others “hear” this story.
