Thanks to all of you who posted or sent me your stories of people you know whose lives have been radically redeemed. I have no doubt that God is leading His lost sheep to read these posts, and see that there’s hope for them, no matter what they’ve done. I was so blessed by reading these stories and remembering how good Jesus is. He saves us not only from our own sin–which is huge–but he also re-creates our lives and makes us into new creations.

As I was reading the posts and trying to find a winner, I realized that the real hero in these posts was Jesus Christ. For that reason, it was impossible to choose a “best” redemption story. They’re all simply fabulous, and to exalt one over another just didn’t seem right. So I decided to choose the winner randomly. And because I was so blown away by your responses, I decided to give three books away.

So, chosen randomly from the posts that were sent, these are the three winners. Congratulations to:

TJ Heisch

Amber Elizabeth Holbin

Melissa Davidson Townsend

If you’re one of these three, please email me the address where you want your book sent to terri.blackstock1@facebook.com. I’m the only one who will see that.

Everyone who posted was indeed a winner, because your post bore fruit in God’s kingdom. Imagine the number of lives that will be touched just by your taking the time to tell about your friend!
