Giveaway Jubilee: Three Ted Dekker Books!

by Rachel on February 24, 2009

in Giveaways and Contests

One of the things I was aiming at with my Giveaway Jubilee was to introduce you to some of my favorite things. So immediately I thought of seeing if I could do a giveaway for my three books from one of my favorite authors, Ted Dekker.

I was so excited when his publishing company, Thomas Nelson, was eager to participate!

I just discovered Ted Dekker a couple of years ago, and I have been blown away by his books.

He has a VERY widely varying writing style. His books range from sweet to extremely intense, all while each one ties together into an unbelievable spiritual analogy. And they ALWAYS leave you wanting to read more about the subject that he wrote on.

The series that I am giving away is his extraordinarily popular Circle trilogy, which includes Black, Red and White. They follow a dual storyline in parallel universes as Thomas Hunter attempts to save both of them from complete destruction. The spiritual storylines run deep in this trilogy. Much like the Narnia series, you can see the analogies over and over throughout the books.

After you get completely sucked into these books, you will be THRILLED to know that the trilogy is about to turn into a four-book series when Green is released on September first!

For this giveaway, all three books (a $50 Value!!) will go to one lucky winner! To enter this contest, all you need to do is comment on this post.

This giveaway will be open until Monday, March 16th. The winners will be randomly selected and announced by 3pm on Tuesday, March 17th.

Click here to get to a listing of the rules, to find out other ways to get entries into this contest, and a list of all of the contests for my 1st Annual Giveaway Jubilee.

Thank you, Katie and Thomas Nelson, for such a fabulous prize!!

Hi Rachel,

I guess I didn’t realize the type of author Ted Dekker is. The covers of his books always made me think the stories were thrillers. I never turned the book over to get a better idea of the content.

Thanks for posting on my blog yesterday. You mentioned that your hobby is blogging. You certainly do it extremely well and I enjoy reading your posts. As far as not liking sewing, I can understand that. I love quilts because it’s more than just sewing, it’s creating something beautiful in the end. The only other thing I’ve sewn is buttons back on when they’ve fallen off.

So far I have only read one book by Dekker, and I didn’t care for it much. However, it was the story line, not the writing, so would be interested in trying another.
