MFEO Twitter Giveaway Winner!

Last week I announced my first ever MFEO Twitter giveaway. Today is the day to announce the winner!

First, I want to thank everyone who participated. Many of you jumped on board to retweet the giveaway. Thank you! Sadly, we did not reach the 1000 threshold to kick in the extra audiobook and DVD giveaway (not even close). But, it was fun for me and hopefully for you too.

We do things the old fashioned way around here, so every entrant was listed on a uniformly sized, folded piece of paper and placed in a glass jar, which was vigorously shaken (not stirred). The drawing was conducted by my 8 year-old daughter Alannah Belle. And the winner is…

Geoff Hsu! (Twitter @geoffhsu)

Geoff wins a copy of Dallas Willard’s Divine Conspiracy and Clarence Jordan’s Sermon on the Mount. Congratulations Geoff, these two authors are, in my opinion, Made For Each Other : )

For those who didn’t win this time around, don’t fret. I’m planning to do MFEO giveaways on a semi-regular basis, so stay tuned!

MFEO Twitter Giveaway: Clarence Jordan & Dallas Willard

This week I’m going to be giving away books by two authors that I think are M.F.E.O. (Made For Each Other): Clarence Jordan and Dallas Willard:

• The first book is Sermon on the Mount, New Testament scholar Clarence Jordan’s commentary on Jesus’ most seminal teachings. Few Christians in history speak with the weight of authority that Jordan does, having given his life to the practice of these radical teachings.
• The second book is Willard’s now classic bombshell The Divine Conspiracy, which contains his interpretation of The Sermon on the Mount. If you haven’t read this, you need to. Please Note: Both these books are used, so you’ll have to live with annotations and underlines : )

Here’s how the giveaway works:

1. Follow me on Twitter @pastoralia
2. Tweet this message:

Bonus giveaways!

If the number of Twitter retweets reaches 1000 I will also give away one of each of these bonus prizes to two additional winners:

• Dallas Wiillard’s new book, Knowing Christ Today in audiobook form from Christianaudio.com, and
• A DVD copy of the fantastic documentary Briars in the Cotton Patch, which chronicles the story of Clarence Jordan’s Koinonia Farm in the turbulent race wars that led up to the civil rights movement.
