Bloggy Giveaway Carnival: Sharon Hinck book

January 26, 2009 by Barbara H.

Comments are now closed. The winner is Chastidy! I’ll be contacting you shortly.

It is time for the quarterly Bloggy Giveaway Carnival! Go to Bloggy Giveaways this week, where there will likely be over 1,000 giveaways from bloggers all over the country and the world.

For my first giveaway this week, I am offering a copy of the book Stepping Into Sunlight by one of my favorite authors, Sharon Hinck. I reviewed it previously here, or you can click on the title for more information, but basically it is Christian fiction about a young mom who witnesses a violent crime as well as a threat to her own life.

Just after this occurs, her family moves to a new town due to her husband’s deployment, and then her husband has to go overseas, so she is without a support system. With all of this she begins experiencing panic attacks and is on her way to becoming agoraphobic. She tries to put on a brave face for her husband and family and tries to take care of the young son who depends on her, but she finds herself increasingly afraid and unable to take up even the ordinary tasks of life.

How she finds help and begins the long road to recovery make up the rest of this great book.

If you are interested, just leave a comment on this post. I will draw a winner Saturday morning, and I am willing to ship internationally.

Check back later this week for more giveaways! And check the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival through the week for a multitude of giveaways.

I love Sharon Hinck. On all the giveaways that ask you to mention a book you either really like or have read recently I’ve said The Restorer almost every time. She’s a great author, and I’d love to read another one of her books. Count me in!

How fun!! I have actually never read Sharon Hinck but have her Sword of Lyric series sitting on my bookshelf ready to pick up. I’ve heard so many good things about her books. Thanks for the chance to win!

i often choose the books i read by the cover. (haha – i know i am not supposed to do that, but i do. ) if i don’t like the design on the cover, chances are i won’t read it… and i LOVE the design on this cover!

it sounds intriguing as well!
