HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU?

My heart goes out to you soldiers of the cross. We need encouragement from every angle. My goal is to build some segment of the kingdom one brave heart at a time. So, I share with you a book that will fan great flames of confidence in God.

Have you read Kisses From Katie?

This inspiring true story is about a young Tennessee dreamer who was her high school's graduating class president and homecoming queen. Unpredictably she made a bold move four years ago to Jinja, Uganda to serve Jesus. Her faith is riveting. You will be inspired!

Excerpts from the book's Introduction are:

....I began to delve into the truths of Scripture. As I read and learned more and more of what Jesus said, I liked the lifestyle I saw around me less and less. I began to realize that God wanted more from me and I wanted more of Him. He began to grow in me a desire to live intentionally, and different from anyone I had ever known....

.....So I quit my life.....People often ask if I think my life is dangerous, if I am afraid. I am much more afraid of remaining comfortable.....I am much more terrified of living a comfortable life in a self-serving society and failing to follow Jesus than I am of any illness or tragedy....

Katie Davis is now 22 years old and the mother of her 14 adopted Ugandan children. Her compelling story will clear your sinuses!

So here's my deal. I will give free copies of this book to the first 18 readers who do the following:


  1. Request one copy through the comment section of this blog. Do not email or call. The first 18 listed will receive a free copy and you will be able to tell by the number of comments if any copies remain.

  2. In your comment, give me complete name, address, and zip. I will not track you down if part is missing.

  3. This offer is open for the next 24 hours. Once it is closed I will send the remaining copies to servants here and there.

I think you will be intensely inspired by this amazing woman and God's amazing work in her.

Fortunately, my wife has a copy! But, you've given me more reason to read it. This quote scares me...."I am much more terrified of living a comfortable life in a self-serving society and failing to follow Jesus than I am of any illness or tragedy".

What a wonderful gift! Thank you. My older daughter made a mission trip to Poland a few years back and also Honduras for medical mission. Even at my age, I've seriously considered extending my serve to our God in these kind of special ways. Truly, enlightenment of cultural differences would make a profound difference in our attitude and often narrow scope of what Christianity is all about. No doubt, this story would be of great inspiration.

I love your posts! Thank you, thank you!

Only if you have one left at the end of the 24 hours, I'd love it. I'm three doors down, reading blogs...I mean...working.

I will offer three more....when I return to check on comments. Should there be more than three, I will take those first in.

Terry Rush said...

Hellooooooo.....

Thank you for your response!

18 requested copies and then six more came in. I have decided to order six more copies so that 24 of you will receive this book.

Give me a few days for them to arrive and then to be sent out.

I believe God will use this book to open doors of kingdom expansion in ways none us---pooled together---could fathom.

Blessings for your faith in this effort!

Aww, I missed it. Maybe I'll ask Santa to leave me one in my stocking. :)

Terry Rush said...

Part II

I held off posting the last few when I reached 18, posted my Helloooo comment and then hit the remainder of requests.

Well....what I didn't know was the requests would go in according to time of arrival...thus the extra are ahead of my Hellooooo post.

Dig?

And yes, Lita-three-doors-down (our secretary), you are included in the 24!

Terry Laudett said...

Thank you, Terry.

Maybe it can be one you add in to your "preacher get-together" giveaway at Tulsa! :)

Have a great holiday season!

Also, thank you for the baseball card inside the book. It was fun to read the quotes about you.
