WIN A FREE COPY OF CALVIN'S INSTITUTES! one year of God's grace at 2mites!

09Oct09

On October 21st, it will be one full year of blogging at 2mites, and God willing it is just the first of many.  I have been thankful for the journey thus far, for it has been a tremendous gift to me.  At its best, this blog has been an expression of my astonishment of the glory of God’s grace… another medium for me to encounter God, and it is my prayer that others have encountered him here along with me.

In celebration of the mercies of God towards me in this way, I want to give you a gift!

There will be 2 opportunities for a total of 3 people to receive a copy of Hendrickson Publishers printed edition of The Institutes of the Christian Religion, by John Calvin, in one volume.

Drawing 1 (For Everyone): simply leave a comment on this blog-post , and you will be entered into a drawing to receive a free copy of The Institutes.

Drawing 2 (An Additional Opportunity For Bloggers): add my blog to your best blog list, let me know that you added me by mentioning it here in comment form, and you will be entered into a drawing to be one of two people to receive The Institutes.  Note: This will enter you into BOTH drawings, giving you 2 chances to win.  To automatically enter yourself a second time in the bloggers drawing (doubling your chances of winning the bloggers drawing), write a blog-post letting people know about this giveaway!

All entries must be received by 11:59pm (CT) on October 20th.  Both drawings will take place on October 21st, and the winners will be announced on 2mites by 6pm that day.

    Hi Jeff,
    I can’t resist a chance to win a copy of the Institutes, I have been reading and blogging through my Beveridge edition of the Institutes all year. I’m now into Book 4 and have really enjoyed the experience.

    I’ll add your blog to my site…but if I won the draw would you post the book to the UK? I live in bonny Scotland!
    Every blessing for your ministry.
    Martyn

    Just fumbling around on Google, wasting time, trying to figure out the info. search on Google & lo! Ran into Lydia’s bio & decided to enter for a free copy of The Institutes. I gave mine away to someone, maybe Johannes, but I could use another. It’s spiritually rewarding to dig into & I can use all the reward I can get. Scott
