The Challies Dot Com Contest

You know what this site needs? It needs a contest…

To that end, I am going to be giving away 3 signed, hardcover copies of Bill Perkin’s newest book Six Battles Every Man Must Win, which goes on sale today (See it at Amazon). I reviewed this book on March 22 and can testify it is a great read.

The contest rules are simple. All you need to do is send me an email with the reason you should win this contest. Prizes will be awarded for the funniest, the most original and the most pathetic entry. Now please, when I say pathetic I don’t want to hear about your best friend dying and you losing your job when you’re two months away from drawing your pension. Make it funny. As a matter of fact, don’t even feel constrained by truth – just go ahead and make something up. You may enter twice (two separate emails, please), but may only win in one category. Entries do not need to be long. As a matter of fact, keeping them short is probably a good thing…

As an added bonus, you can have the book signed either to yourself or to someone else if you wish to give it away as a gift. You can even have Bill sign it to himself and then say you stole his personal copy.

Please feel free to tell your friends, neighbours, family and pets about this contest. And ladies, though this book is targetted at men, it would make a great gift for that special someone in your life. If you don’t have a special someone, you can just sell the book on eBay.

The contest begins immediately and will end Wednesday, April 7 at 11:59 PM. Winners will be announced the next day and will be contacted via email. So, send along your entries!

  • Will You Be a Pillar?

    How do we lead in a culture shaped by performance, individualism, and platform? Platforms to Pillars by cultural commentator Mark Sayers offers a biblical alternative to the platform mentality that dominates our society. Drawing from the ancient world, Sayers challenges Christians to become pillars—people who provide strength and support for others, who live with character…

  • The Tallest Trees

    The Winds Blow Hardest Against the Tallest Trees

    Through the weekend had many questions about Christian leaders who fall. And I expressed that just as the winds blow hardest against the tallest trees, so temptations may press hardest against the leaders who rise the highest. Just as floods press against shallow roots, so seductive desires rise up against those whose fall would bring…

  • Expectations

    Why We Ask So Little of God

    Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and therefore receive little, and are content with little. Though the Bible calls us to pray and though it promises that “the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working,” we can still have very modest expectations of what God will accomplish through…
