"Thank you for doing a great job in getting the word out about the book and for helping so many people get a grip on their lives. You did, and are doing, a great job.”
~Thelma Wells, Author, A Woman of God Ministries
"This has been one of the most thorough blog tour I’ve seen. I enjoyed the personal angles each of your blog team added before posting the Francine interviews and other great content. It required very little work from me to manage and your team did what they do best. Your team did an excellent job for Francine Rivers and her new book. Please count on setting up the next tour." ~ Babette Rae, Tyndale House Publishers
We enjoyed viewing the different blogs and reading their comments about SCANDALON. Thanks to you for all the work and time you put into this blog tour, keeping track, and making sure the bloggers were putting the interview up on their blog, as well as keeping us informed with what was going on. We were happy with the way it turned out and hopefully we'll have a chance to send another book your way!
~ Christina Slike, Cladach Publishing
"One book I came across is an inspiring small little book filled with affirmations that we can all benefit from--especially any woman who is going through an unexpected life transition be it a breakup, divorce, or loss or any type. Just one minute a day with Sonja Samuel’s little book WHEN I ACCEPTED ME can help you push through the pain and jump into hope and happiness." ~ Victorya Rogers
"I like the fact that the book is based on experience. Sounds like it is something I could use for myself and several overworked, unappreciated, over stressed, can’t say no or can’t say yes family members." ~ R.H.
"I must confess, I agreed to review this book because the title caught me: Confessions of a Pastor's Wife. I was particularly intrigued by the fact that the book virtually fell into her mind, as a complete piece, chapter titles and all. (I have had that happen a couple of times, but I didn't write the books. I could kick myself for that!) But there was more I was looking for. I think by necessity a pastor's wife must be discreet, but often that discretion seems more like distance. It can feel like a barrier. Kind of like, I like you, but don't get too close to me." ~ D.S.
"I cannot tell you when I have enjoyed a book more. I could NOT put it down. I have a grandson with an autism spectrum disorder and her book just touched my core being! The honesty that she portrayed was so encouraging." ~ A.K.
"When I picked up Don't Give In...God Wants You to Win! I expected a light, fun read. Boy was I surprised! The book is actually a deep look at spiritual warfare and learning how to fight the battle. Don't worry! Thelma includes humor to keep things from becoming too heavy. Thelma gives a lot of great information. One thing I really liked is that she included whole Scripture passages (sometimes in more than one translation) in the text of the book. I know that when I read I book, I usually don't take the time open my Bible and read the passage at the time. I always plan to get back to it, but rarely do. Having the text in the book, made it certain that I would read it. I am going to be going back through this book again---much more slowly this time!" ~ J.D.
"WOW! What an awesome book! Thank you for allowing me to be a part!"~ J.D.
"I love the "I AM" usage and studied it for a hermeneutics class in seminary. God - Yahweh - revealed Himself in the OT as "I AM" and that's what made the NT pharisees so mad at Jesus -- in their minds, he had the nerve to refer to himself in the language of Yahweh. This book sounds like a terrific Bible study devotion. Thanks for the interview and attention to the book. Best wishes to CJ." ~ B.N.
This is the first account I’ve actually read of someone surviving/experiencing the Holocaust that wasn’t Jewish. Nonna Bannister was a young Russian girl sent to a work camp when the Germans invaded the Ukraine. This is just a part of WWII that I know little about, and while Nonna’s experiences were not those of the Jews, it was no less horrific or traumatic.
This is not an easy book to read, but I think it is a real testimony of God’s sovereignty even amid the horrors of war. I loved the remembrances of her close, loving family – of their celebrations, reunions and just loving each other through daily life. I imagine those sweet memories were partly responsible for Nonna surviving mentally and emotionally as well as she did. The fact that she not only survived, but later married and enjoyed a family of her own – that’s just a greater testimony of abundant grace!
I cannot fathom the pain, the loss, the absolute horror of some of the experiences remembered by Nonna Bannister. I am, however, humbled and amazed that she took the time to write them down, translate them, and save them to later be shared with others. That speaks of a strength that only God can provide….and only when it is needed. He is faithful when man’s evil seems to be impossible to overcome. I am so thankful for the reminder of this promise, and I pray that should these dark times ever come to my door that I will face them in the same strength that Nonna Bannister displayed throughout her lifetime.
Amazing. God is so faithful! Nonna Bannister’s faith…amazing!
"THE CALLING caught my eye the moment I unwrapped the book. Written by Jacob Israel, I was immediately intrigued by the book cover as well as the author's pen name."~ D.V.
"I am not a business owner, but as I read through this book I could see where this book could be beneficial to anyone trying to make it in this economically unstable world, whether you are trying to sell Avon, Pampered Chef, MaryKay, or other products, or whether you own your own unique business trying to sell whatever you do best, whether it be making soaps, crafts, diapers, or rewriting resumes. Whatever your product, you want to make it succeed, so you owe it to yourself to educate yourself on what worked for another woman and might work for you."~ L.H.
"This book is about realizing and maximizing your business potential and if you're not seeing the profits you should be, especially in this economic climate, this book will help guide you in a better direction. I don't know what caused my favorite tea rooms to close, but I only wish that they had something like this to help them turn it around." ~ C.S.
"If you have any way of getting the other books by these two gentlemen, I'd LOVE to help promote them. This was REALLY GOOD READING...and I'm not quite done yet. I've got to go back and really savor this one. So glad I told you 'YES!'"! D.P.
"I have three boys and a girl... I only wish I had had this book when my oldest was a little one 15 years ago. It is very insightful! This was a FABULOUS book!" ~ L.R.
"This one is VERY near and dear to my heart. I suddenly became a single parent after 12.5 years of marriage and was single again for nearly ten years until God brought me my husband and three other children nearly eight years ago. I feel so honored and blessed to host this blog tour!" ~ V.
"Great job on the One Year Women’s Friendship blog tour. It looks like you have lots of participants!" ~ Kathleen McClelland, Marketing Manager, Tyndale House Publishers
“I would love to be involved in Allison’s blog tour!” ~ C.S.
“As a women's envisionary, working with mainly Boomer women, I think that this topic might be of great interest to my newsletter readers.” ~ G.P.
“I'd like to join the tour for this book. I have a lot of online friends who have adult children with major issues and they need to know about this book.”~ M.S.
"I just received the book in the mail! It is beautiful and I could not put it down. I am so excited to host this blog tour for Roberta Simpson! I want to get a copy for my own Mom who all her grandchildren call Nana. Thanks so much for this awesome opportunity. I never realized how much I would love this book until I saw it and opened its pages." ~ V G.
