Hello, everyone!
It’s giveaway time! I’ve got to say—running giveaways is probably one of my favorite jobs around here at LRD (besides reading books, of course!). I was talking to Mom about the giveaway this morning, and she encouraged me to keep it simple…while I was all for doing something big and fun! Well, we came up with a compromise and I’m happy about that too.
But first, before I tell you what you could win, I’d like to say a big thank you. I don’t do that enough, I know, but thank you for being here—even just taking time to read this. Thank you for your support over the past year and a half that we’ve been going, for taking time to read our reviews and buy a few books that hopefully have been helpful to you, and for sticking it out even through those times when I haven’t gotten the reviews up when I should have. Thank you. We couldn’t do this without you—if it weren’t for you, our job would be pointless.
And since we finally hit 500 reviews on the website, I thought it called for a celebration! 500 reviews isn’t nearly as many as I hope one day to have, but it’s a good start. Where will another 500 take us? Well…that’s at least partially up to you. What subjects do you want us to research and find more books on? Tell us, and we’ll see what we can do. We’re all about helping you succeed in what you’re doing. I’m excited to see what will happen next!
The Giveaway:
There will be three winners at the end of this drawing. It is open internationally (as long as you can use an Amazon.com giftcard or receive a book from Book Depository!), although please note the DVD is only available to those residing within the US. The giveaway will run from now (January 16) through to January 23.
You could win:
- A $20 Amazon.com gift card,
- a When Things Seem Impossible DVD,
- or a Janet & Geoff Benge book—your choice! We have a list of recommendations here, but you’re also welcome to request one that isn’t on this list—they are all excellent books. 🙂

Yay for 500! That’s a lot of reviews, and reading 🙂
It is! And I’m really thankful for a chance to read—makes the job that much more fun. 🙂
Thanks a lot for having this giveaway! Congratulations on your 500 reviews. 🙂

You’re welcome, Lauren!
Congrats on 500! I enjoy your reviews, and your encouragement so much. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you, Deborah!
Good job! Sounds like such a fun job too! I won’t enter the contest because if I’d win I’d hate having taken it away from someone else. But an idea of other subjects to find books about: books that would help to prepare us for hard times that could be ahead, God’s faithfulness.
Thank you for the suggestion! That’s a subject that isn’t discussed much, but you’re right that it should be something we’d read about. I’ll have to look. We have several that would fit under that category, and I’m sure there are a lot more out there I haven’t read or found yet. So thank you!
HI Esther!
Congratulations on writing 500 reviews…that’s a lot of books! And thank you for this giveaway. I would love to win the gift card. I could buy lots of books! 🙂 I LOVE the authors Janet and Geoff Benge, and we have many books by them.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter. 🙂
Love,
Ashley
Thank you, Ashley! And you’re welcome!
Congratulations on 500 reviews! That’s amazing! I personally would love to see what you could find of children’s and young adult historical fiction set in Asia. When we were living there, I wanted my kids to be aware of the history of the region we were living in, and that’s their favorite way to learn history, and I came up pretty well empty.
Thanks so much for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com this week.

Thank you for the great idea, Tina! We’ve come across several really good ones through the Sonlight curriculum, but I’d have to look again and do some searching on Amazon too.
