It’s our 2nd Tuesday, and time for announcements that celebrate YOU! Let’s start with your kudos…
The following Christian Writer’s Den friends have been hard at work, following His lead, and charting new territory for Him.
1. Tracey Garrell (NC): Through God’s grace, He equipped me to share a personal story of faith with others. Details can be found on There, under the Parent tab, right side are several testimonial videos (two are with me). In addition, God provided the opportunity to share on Focus on the Family’s radio broadcast, to be aired on September 25th. As a simple house wife and mother, the Lord receives all the praise and glory because He uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Christ calls us to submit to Him, live by faith and trust Him with the results. Praise God for His grace and faithfulness. May many other families be encouraged by this ministry as we seek to live authentic Christian lives in our communities and public schools. (Vonda here: Please check out this new opportunity and pass it along to others in your circle of influence. What a powerful movement this could be across America and beyond!)
2. Kristi Woods (OK): “Tested, Not Arrested,” my story about a burly Honolulu police officer
and my lactose intolerance, is being published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Dreams and Premonitions, releasing this month. (Vonda here: Wow, now that sounds like a story I have to read! Great use of a hook.)
3. Cheryl Barker (KS): I recently signed a contract with BroadStreet Publishing for my mother-of-the-bride book. The title and release date are still tentative, but it will probably come out next summer. (Vonda here: Oh, Cheryl, how well I remember the first time I heard your description of this book. I loved the idea from the first moment! But as I had to do with my first book, you had to wait several years to find the right publisher and see your dream come to fruition. Your example of continuing to write and submit–leading to gobs of writing credits–is a good lesson for all writers!)
Congratulations, CWD friends! You’ve shown what can happen when we don’t give up! And friends, if you didn’t see your name on the Kudos list, be sure to check back next week when I’ll have a new list of writing opportunities–AND a new give-away! But my sending them to you won’t do any good if you don’t follow through. 
I can’t wait to hear of YOUR successes!

And who won Nan Jones’ book, The Perils of a Pastor’s Wife?
As you’ve probably realized, with being out of town for Christian Communicators Conference, I totally forgot to determine a winner at Random.org for Nan’s book last Tuesday. So I’m announcing today that the winner is…
Tammy Whitehurst!
Hoo-wee! Congratulations, Tammy! Now, simply contact me with your snail mail address and Nan will get your book right out to you. I know you’re going to enjoy it!
And for those who didn’t win, here’s a direct Amazon link to The Perils of a Pastor’s Wife, by Nan Jones. You don’t want to miss it. It’s a great book for anyone struggling with disappointment or trials. There are lessons for all of us on our journey of healing and answering the call He’s placed on our lives.
Happy writing!
Vonda
