Sally just called me --just pause right there -- yep - my phone rang and it was Sally Clarkson {squeal} lol!  I crossed my fingers that the kids wouldn't fight!!!  Alexis was doing phonics and Alex was writing out Hebrews 13:17 because we were having a rough morning with some questionable behavior lol! but we made it through!


Anyway, Sally offered to giveaway one of her books for our summer book club!!!  Hooray!


The book club begins Monday, May 23rd on GoodMorningGirls.org with exclusive videos done by Sally Clarkson!  The book club will run through August 5th.  This is gonna be good - you don't want to miss it!


Just leave a comment below before Saturday at 9pm to win! 


 And for a bonus entry go to Sally Clarkson's site and enter to win a copy on her blog! She's giving away one copy on her blog too!  Woohoo!


Walk with the King!

 Janene from The Everyday Extraordinary just contacted me and offered to giveaway one of Sally's books to one of the readers who comments below!  So that makes 2 books that will be given away here on Saturday night! 

Anyone else who wishes to help a sister out by donating a book - just send me an email: courtney(at)womenlivingwell(dot)org!

  30. The more I hear about this book, the more I think I need it.

    I, too, like the idea of having the kids write out Scripture verses. I quote them when my guys are in trouble - they'll disobey me and not care, but they freak out when I tell them they disobeyed God!

  52. I was hoping to be a part of this book club. A few weeks ago I felt a call in church to rededicate my like to living for pleasing God rather than those around me. Part of living to please Him is living out the purpose He has for me and that is being my husband’s wife and my kids’ mom. So I recently retired as a digital scrapbooking designer and will finish that part-time job this month so I can go back to really focusing on my true purposes as homeschooling mom and wife. It would just be perfect to start off on this journey by joining th book club.

I read some information on a couple of her books, and that is exactly what I aspire to be, I try constantly to become closer to that person, I have two babies and would love love to be blessed enough to read this. I have been meaning to buy mission of motherhood, but just havent....I would really love to win this not just because it's a book, but because I truly know it could help me and my family...whenever I sit and read things like this it always uplifts me to continue figuring out what I am truly here for, and my role in this life ;) And how important sacrifice is.

I LOVE hearing from my readers and I pray for you all regularly. I try to respond to questions in the comment section as quickly as I can - within 1-3 days.

Due to an overflowing email inbox and the desire to keep my husband, children and home first priority in my life, I am no longer able to answer personal emails at this time. I apologize.

Walk with the King!
