This month’s giveaway is especially for all my book loving friends! It will also most likely appeal to those who enjoy DIY projects, home decor and design, and any of you who like to read biographies of interesting contemporary figures.

So, without further ado, on to the giveaway!

A while back, a friend asked me for some book recommendations and then mentioned that she had recently finished reading The Magnolia Story by Chip and Joanna Gaines. I was vaguely familiar with the Gaines’ names. Though I had heard they are Christians, I had never seen their HGTV show. I hadn’t heard any specifics on what exactly it is that they do. However, knowing that my friend’s taste in books is excellent, I figured I’d go ahead and read it for myself.

I’m so glad I did!

Chip and Joanna Gaines are a fascinating couple and their story is an inspiring one. Their hard work and determination are an example to those around them. The way they work as a team on any project they tackle is a beautiful picture of what a marriage can be when both husband and wife are willing to fulfill their roles and lay aside selfishness for the benefit of one another and their common goals.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The Gaines’ writing style is appealing and accessible. Their story is told in an interesting and compelling way that will keep you turning the pages to find out more about them. And their faith in God is genuine and completely uncontrived.

Reading their book made me determined to see their show, Fixer Upper. What a refreshing thing to see a clean, family-friendly, faith affirming show on tv! Programs like their’s are very rare in this day of no-holds-barred, anything-goes, throw-off-your-inhibitions television. They are certainly not your typical reality tv couple.

I highly recommend both their book and their HGTV show. (I read The Magnolia Story on ebook. It was the cheaper option, and I love the portability of ebooks. I watched the show at my mother’s house because we don’t have tv access in our home.)

For this month’s giveaway, I will be offering a physical copy of The Magnolia Story and season 1 of Fixer Upper for one of my readers.

Entering is easy: just use the Rafflecopter widget below.
