Advent Book Giveaway

By Jessina -
-
The malls are decked with wreaths and Christmas trees, Christmas music has snuck into my Itunes account, and I saw my first Christmas lights yesterday. I know it's still November and not yet even Thanksgiving, but Christmas will be here soon!
-
In preparation for Christmas, Megan, Joanna, and I have been looking over a few advent devotional books for the Christmas season, which prompted us to have an early Christmas giveaway. Most of the following advent books are to be read throughout the Christmas season, some even starting in late November. So while Christmas might still be 39 days away, it's certainly not too early to begin to consider the reality of what we celebrate.
-
Here's the deal for the giveaway: We came across three advent books that we have looked over and highly recommend, but we couldn't choose which one to give away. So we decided instead tell you about all three and let the one winner choose which one book she likes best. Here are the choices:

To enter to win, leave a comment on this post answering the following question: What type of article would like to see more of on the blog? Sister to Sister? Author profiles? Friday Footprint type recommendations? Have any ideas of your own? Let us know!

And, if you'd like to be thrown in the batch a second time, subscribe to the blog (see the button at right) and let us know that you did with your comment. And if you'd like to be entered a third time for an even greater chance of winning, post about the giveaway on your blog and make sure to leave us the link to your post! Comments will be closed this Thursday at midnight and the winner will be announced on Friday.

grace & peace,

    Hello! I'd like to see more biblical fiction lie the stories Megan wrote on Rahb and Rebekah. We are currently going through a series in church on Ruth and it's amazing how much material there is for a story! Just a thought!

    I'd love to see more of what you wrote on the site before the make-over. I guess those were Sister to Sister? Anyway, they were great becuse they always had little, relatable, valuable thing to say. Interviews etc are great, but I really love the ones you guys write yourselves...

    I also would love to see more Sister to Sister, but have you guys ever thought of doing a series of articles on purity and/or(not)dating? I love your blog but I would love to be more encouraged to keep waiting for my husband. God Bless! Thank you so much for all you do!

    Well, I personally like the idea of the Biblical fiction, but I would have to say maybe put a spin on the Sister- to- sister and have an author write one... just a thought.

    I really like the Friday Footprints. It helps me find other resources for my walk with Christ.
    I would also like to see some more devotional type things. Like Sister to sister.

Farewell

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recent...

The Art of Spiritual Journaling

By Jessina -

- And we're back! Thanks for your patience while we took a brief hiatus. We're back to posting regularly and we have some exciting new stuff planned for the weeks ahead (including a few book giveaways!), so check back again throughout the week. - Also, a note: if you're a reader and would like your blog added to our sidebar, please leave us a comment or e-mail us. We're hoping to start a list of links on our sidebar of all of our readers' blogs. - - I have never been much of a journaler. I have always been very much a future thinker and would rather write a list of goals rather than recount the events of a past day or flesh out my confusing emotions on paper. But within the past year or two I have been discovering the art of journaling as a spiritual discipline, discovering that journaling has the power to broaden my understanding of God, to help me find the splendor in the ordinary, and to help me see more clearly God's grace at work in my life. - No...
