Tracey Finck is a wonderful lady and I am so glad to know her personally. Her daughter was my daughter's very first friend when we moved to Minnesota and Tracey befriended me and introduced me to a Bible study group.When I found out she had written a book I was so excited! I called her and asked if I could promote her book and have a give-away. Tracey has generously offered to give away an autographed copy of her book Love Letters to a Child: A Resource for Parents and Grandparents. Here is some information about the book:
Do you long to connect deeply with your children? To have a positive impact on their lives? To celebrate successes and discoveries as well as ordinary moments spent together? If this is what you want, but the distractions of daily life get in the way, then this book is for you.
Writing a love letter or making an entry in a journal for your child takes only 10 minutes and is an effective way to
Affirm your child’s uniqueness as a creation of God
Bond with your child
Celebrate and encourage character growth
Document milestones in your child’s spiritual journey
Establish a family legacy
This book provides examples and ideas to get you started. Years from now you’ll be glad you did.
You can find the book at Amazon or with the publisher Winepressbooks. I know you are going to love this book, my friend Nikki is using it now and has a review up on her blog.
To win an autographed copy of Tracey's book:
1. Leave a comment for one entry.
2. Link to the contest post for a second entry.
The give-away ends October 14, and the winner will be announced on October 15th. Please leave a way to be reached, blog or email, so that we can contact you if you win. I'll wait 3 days for a response before I pick a different winner.
This contest has ended.

It sounds like a wonderful book! How neat that you get to know her personally.
Count me in. I also added this to my contest roundup for today.
Sunday Edition of Contests Galore
Count me in! I'll read any book you tell me to! ;)
This sounds like a really wonderful book.
ooooo...sounds like a good book! Thanks for the fun contest! I linked to it as well at: http://jonathanandandrea.blogspot.com/2007/09/countless-contests.html
Wow! I absolutely LOVE the idea about this book!! I will definitely be posting and linking about this on my blog tomorrow!!
You know, people called me anal when I commented that I was scared that my children would never know how much they truly meant to me. I created "anything" boxes for each child that I put things that I feel are important, meaningful or funny into them. Things such as their "coming home" outfits from the hospital, the horoscope for the day they were born from the local paper and what I call love thoughts. I have recipe cards should a moment come about me that I just want to write down how I feel and then place them into the keepsake box. Anyways, the whole point of this long winded comment is that it is so reassuring that others feel the same as I do when it comes to letting their child(ren) know how much they have meant to their parents over the years.
Enter me, please!

I would love to win this book also! I enjoy reading your blog and I am not sucking up to win anything, but you are an inspiration for having 7 kids and being able to keep up with your blog. I admire you greatly!
I can barely keep up and I only have 2 little boys.
I scrapbook for my kids so they know how much I love them. I started scrapping 7 years ago, but when I got thyroid cancer and it scared me to think I might not be around for my kids, I started scrapping even more hard core.
This book seems like a great read and inspiration as well.
Thanks for the contest!
Oh I also linked your contest on my blog! Thanks!

Count me in too! Looks like a great book. I posted on my blog, too.
Could I possibly join in? As a Mum this is sooo important and it sounds a great book. I am in New Zealand, so maybe too far away? I will post on my blog about this contest too.
Hi There!
I don't know quite how I found your blog but it's great! I love the header, with your "Seven QTPies" in the frame; it's simply gorgeous.
Just like Karen in New Zealand, I live a long way away too; in Ireland. I would love to be included in the contest though; if that is possible; 'Love Letters to a Child' sounds so nice.
I have two kids and a partner. We try and live a Christian life and I am very slowly working my way through the Bible with the help of some good friends.
Your blog & site are lovely! I'm going to add a link to my blog, if I can figure out how to do it!
Thank you!

Life is short, and our children grow up so quickly---we all need this book to remind us to find ways to let our children know how much we love them...
Thank you for this giveaway.
(Instead of leaving my email address, I'll check back to see if I won--my son says that I'm a security freak!)
What a beautiful book.
If I post on my blog I'll let you know.

I am signed up and linked up! I think this book looks great! How are you doing?
I've just decided recently to start a jouirnal with some writings & memories written down for my son to hopefully cherish when I'm gone.
This book sounds like a great help for me to accomplish this as I really want to make something my son will treasure & love all his life.
I started journaling for both of my girls the day i found out i was pregnant. They are records of thier precious lives right from the start. I am on the second journal for my 20 month old and my 6 week olds journal is slowly filling. I never want to forget all the wonderful things they do. I plan on giving the journals to them when they begin to have children. The journals will trigger so many emotions and leave them with a little piece of me. This book will help me make the most out of my efforts.

I love this! I write my children a personal letter every year on their birthday. Not even their Dad has read these letters. It is a way to leave memories and hopes for my children. If anything (let's hope not!) were ever to happen to me, my children would have this very special gift, straight from my heart!
