Giveaway #3

November 10, 2011 by Barbara H.

To continue celebrating 2,500 posts and 5 years of blogging, here is my third giveaway. (The giveaway for Day 1 is here and Day 2 is here.)

Come to the Table is more than a cookbook: it does have recipes, but it also has beautiful photography, quotes, poems, meditations, and Scriptures about hospitality and food scattered throughout.

Honestly, my main reason for giving away my copy is that the recipes in here just aren’t ones that I would use. I think I copied 3 or 4 (there were a few more that looked good but were similar to something I already had). But looking through the book again, I almost decided to keep it just for the “stray thoughts” throughout the book. I refrained, however! I did make note of a few of the poems and quotes that particularly stood out to me.

Both the Amazon site and Christianbook.com sites have access to the inside of the book, so you can take a look and see if it is something you’d be interested in.

If you’d like an opportunity to win this book, just leave a comment on this post before next Tuesday morning, Nov. 15, when I’ll use random.org to draw winners for each of the giveaways.

You can enter each giveaway, but please do so only once for each one (don’t leave multiple comments in order to increase your chances of winning). You can only win one, however, so if you enter more than one, let me know if you have a preference.

This one is open to everyone!

Oh, and here is a quiz question — you don’t have to answer it in order to enter, but just for fun:
How long have I been married, and what is my husband’s name?

Entries are now closed. Congratulations to rbclibrary.

    My favorite kind of cookbook is one that incorporates lovely
    pictures, quotes and such throughout it…
    Many thanks, Cindi
    Jim is your husband’s name and you two have been
    married for 27 years! : )

    I’d love to win this lovely book, Barbara. (And would prefer it over the others). Thanks for such a generous series of giveaways. Again, congrats on your 2,500 posts.

    I just checked, and between my two blogs, they add up to 1160… nowhere near you!

    Married 33 years (gasp, PTL) and e-Dad is his name.

    Blessings to you!
