This is such an awesome book that I bought a whole case and have them in my dining room! Actually, I just have half a case now. I've given away half of the case to family and friends.
Now, I'd like to give YOU a copy. Why? This book opened my eyes and helped me understand things in a new way. Even more importantly, it gave me HOPE!
If you would like a copy, just leave a comment or email me. I will mail or deliver a copy of He Restoreth My Soul. I will also include a bookmark I'm making that directs you to some of the "highlights" of the book, just in case you're not ready to jump in and read the whole thing right now. I read over 100 books in 2009 and (next to The Book of Mormon) He Restoreth My Soul was the best book I read last year!
PS Please feel free to let your friends know about my giveaway or link to this post!

Wow - I always love new books!
Sounds interesting... if you still have any left! =)
Wow, Melanie! Really? I would love to read it. :)
I've not heard of the book, but I seem to have scored the right number to read it. Ha! Got any left? If not, I'll order one. With a raving review like that, from someone like you, it is a must read!
I've got plenty of books. I'm finishing the bookmarks tonight and I'll get them to everyone soon.
I am always looking for good books! I would love to read it! Thanks!
That comment from "Larkin" was actually from me! That keeps happening all over the web... I don't think she would call you Melanie unless she called you Queen Melanie! LOL
It looks like a great book. Is is written by someone you know?
It's a good one for sure. Time to get the word out and get everybody educated on the topic.
The author, Donald Hilton is a neurosurgeon who lives in Texas. I have never met him, but when I gave my brother a copy of the book he was surprised and told me that the Hiltons live in his ward. He says they are amazing people dedicated to serving the Lord.
I am buying copies of his book and giving them away because most of us want to avoid this topic and think it is something that won't effect us. The truth is, eventually it will impact all of us in one way or another. We need to understand and be prepared now. We need to stand up and fight for our families and for the Lord and we can't do that if we are in the dark or in denial.
I'd love a copy! I need some summer books!
I'm super late, but I scored 12 and I'm the 12th commenter, does that score me anything??
Yes, Laura you scored a book! I'll bring it to Cub Day camp this afternoon.
I have gotten the books out to some, but not all of you. Sorry so be so slow. I've been out of town most of the last two weeks. I am working on sending/giving out books today.
Any more left? Sheree keeps on telling me about it. I need to read it. debbie
Hi Melanie! I just found your blog via your email response to the visiting teaching interview reminder. :) I'm sure you've long since given all your books away, but if you still have the bookmarks, or an electronic copy even, I'd love to get one.
Glad I found your blog!
