Blogfest winners:  I want to thank all the participants in blogfest - both hosts and entrants! I had a lot of fun visiting a TON of new blogs - my feed reader is exploding!  It amazes me how many bloggers I find every day.  A big thank you to all my followers both old and new!  I hope that I can get you to stick around!

I had one small rule for blogfest and that was for a google follow - I figured if I am giving away boxes of books - on my dollar - the least I could ask for was a follow - Unfortunately the first winner that I drew could not be verified as a google follower so I had to generate a new number.  And that was:

87 - Jodi - confirmed

92 - Sue/okibi_insanity

151 - jellybelly82158 - confirmed

Congrats to all!

Once winners have been emailed - they will have 48 hours to reply - at that time, any unclaimed books will be given away on twitter. (except for Blogfest - a new winner will be drawn)

The Women in Jesus' Life by Mindy Ferguson (Book Review)

Title: The Women in Jesus' Life
Author: Mindy Ferguson
Publisher: CreateSpace




About the Book:  The Women in Jesus' Life is a six week study of the women Jesus encountered during His life and ministry.  Jesus felt the pain of those who grieved; spoke to the unacceptable; healed the sick; extended grace to the sinner; made the crippled whole. Through the lessons in this study, you'll experience the compassionate and merciful nature of our Savior.  It's encouraging material that emphasizes application and the lessons are manageable for today's busy women.

My thoughts:  This is a really good no pressure study.  It was interesting to me as it brought forth women that were in Jesus' life that might not associate with Him at first glance or maybe had forgotten about.  Mindy give small bites of the Bible to read accompanied with her insight and great questions.  The questions not only help you to see what was happening in Jesus' day, but also how it is applicable today.  If you are looking for a light study, with rich rewards - you should check this one out.

It's encouraging material that emphazises application and the lessons are manageable for today's busy women.
