1.) What is a Blog Tour any way?
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. Many are associated with online newsletters or e-zines. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. As of September 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 106 million blogs. That means on any given day there are millions of blog owners who must post fresh and original content on their blog or in their online newsletter.
A Blog Tour is an opportunity for blog owners to host special guests on their blog. This hosting can be carried out in various ways from posting personalized Q&A, to allowing the guest to write a journal entry for the appointed day. Some special guests are asked to respond to reader comments, and others appear in live chat rooms associated with the particular blog. An organized Blog Tour also allows readers to travel from one blog to another with the special guest. When combined with the release of a new book or product, a Blog Tour can introduce an author to countless readers around the world.
2.) We invite you to host Candy Wood Lindley as a Special Guest on your blog, podcast, web site, internet radio show or e-zine during May 11-25, 2009.
Please note that a limited number of blog tour appearances will be available, so schedule your date now.
Face of Faith: Discovering a Different Kind of Makeover by Candy Wood Lindley (Exclaim Publishing)
In a world obsessed with perfection of the outer appearance and makeovers of every kind, Candy discovered a different kind of makeover—one that lasts—a makeover of the heart.
Candy’s life seemed to have fallen into place. Blessed with an idyllic childhood and loving parents who doted on their precocious only child with a mind of her own, she grew up with grace and charm in the Old South of the 1950s and ’60s. As a speech and drama major at the University of Alabama, vivacious, petite Candy channeled her boundless energy and passion to be “on stage.” Marriage, blessed with two darling children, followed … and then the diagnosis at age 30 that changed her life and her looks forever.
Her only chance at survival was a surgery so drastic that, according to her doctors, she would lose the greater portion of her face including the right eye and possibly the left, leaving her severely deformed. Candy awoke with a new face on the outside and a renewed commitment to her Lord on the inside.
On life’s stage, Candy chose to surrender to a different kind of makeover by the Master’s hands.
In her book, Face of Faith, Candy tells her amazing story—a true medical miracle—as she set out to discover who she was apart from her physical looks.
About the Author
When doctors told Candy Wood Lindley that she had six months to live, she prayed that God would allow her to see her two young children grow up. That was 1982.
Candy was diagnosed with a baseball-sized tumor in the center of her head. Eight surgeries and several years later, she was left facially disfigured but determined to make the most of what she had. In 1987, she was one of twenty-five recipients of Clairol’s national “Take Charge Award,” given to women who have overcome obstacles and turned their lives around after the age of thirty. This was awarded to her for the production of two nationally released videos, together called Let’s Face It. One dealt with makeup techniques for the facially disfigured and the other with wig and scarf applications for hair loss patients.
In 1997, she was given the Life Inspiration Award by the American Cancer Society. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons gave Candy their “Patients of Courage Award” in 2004, and she accepted the 2005 Legacy of Courage Award from Alabama’s For the Cause.
