The winners!

It's been extremely busy here. However, I wanted you to know that the the entries in my latest book give-away contest were phenomenal! I was supposed to pick one winner who would receive an autographed copy of one of my new books for mothers (winner's choice) and an autographed copy of my Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers for some Lenten reading.

There was no way that I could pick one winner. The entries were all so compelling. After I read the first one I already knew that each person would be a winner. :) I will be emailing you all who have entered to get your addresses so that I can send out your books!

God bless!

Yes! I will fill you in on the details of my latest book-give-away contest. I'm sorry that I haven't yet. It has been a very busy start of the Lenten season. I'm planning to write a post later on today or tonight with the contest winner details.

Stay tuned...

Enjoy your Sunday!

Busy, busy, busy!

Taking a moment here to say that I have been totally inundated as of late with writing my new book, "The Heart of Catholicism" for Penguin publishers. I'm sorry that I haven't been able to blog and hope you will understand that I have to make my deadline which is fast approaching!

In the mean time, I thought I'd run a little contest. :) You only have a short amount of time to enter. The acceptance for submissions will be closed on Tuesday, Feb. 24th at 5:00 PM so that I may pick the winner before Ash Wednesday which is the following day. The winner will receive an autographed copy of one of my newest books: The Domestic Church: Room by Room: A Study Guide for Mothers" or Grace Cafe: Serving up Recipes for Faithful Mothering AND a copy of my book, Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers! You get to choose which of the new titles you would like and I will throw in my Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers so that you will have something that will hopefully give you cause to pause and ponder about your marvelous vocation of Motherhood during Lent. :)


You can send your entries to me at: DMCOBoyle(at)aol)com. Please put "book give-away contest" in the subject line. Oh yeah! You need to know what to do...In a paragraph or less, tell me in the email why you want one of these books for Lent. The winner's reason will be published on my blog. I will pick the one that I feel inspired to pick based on your reasons.


I should also mention that it's okay if you're not a mother yet or if you are not even married yet. :) You can still enter. Hopefully these books will help pave the way! :) And you may enter for someone else that you feel is deserving of these books. Just tell me the reason why.

Okay now, what are you waiting for? You don't have much time until next Tuesday the 24th when the contest closes!

God bless and hugs!

Another Book Give-Away!

I think we need to have another Book Give-Away, don't you?



Stay tuned!

God bless your day!

I hope it was worth the wait...

I decided that I couldn't possibly pick this winner from a hat...

Every one's entry was so compelling...

So, I decided that the winner is...

EVERYONE who entered!! SURPRISE!! After all, it is ADVENT and CHRISTMAS is coming! I know who you all are, so just email me again and this time give me your mailing address and please tell me who you want me to inscribe the book to (yourself or the person you were thinking of).

Have a BLESSED day!

The winner is...

I have picked the winner in this latest book contest! The winner was chosen yesterday on our Blessed Mother's beautiful feast day under her title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the unborn.

Drum roll, please...

I told you that I would pick the winner today!

Well, I told you I would pick the winner today on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe for my "Prayerfully Expecting" contest. I will have my daughter pick an entry out of a hat shortly! "Stay tuned!" Be back soon!

Announcing the winner in newest book contest!

The winner in my book contest is Susan. Susan will receive a signed copy of my book, The Heart of Motherhood: Finding Holiness in the Catholic Home

I received so many great entries and it was difficult to pick the winner, but this one tugged on my heart...

I am nominating my dear friend and sister-in-law Susan, who has embraced motherhood, with all its trials and tribulations, and has been an example and an inspiration to me as I have set off along the journey myself. Watching Susan bury her last baby, and knowing that it was the second son she buried, and then witnessing her strength and renewed faith after the experience, has been a source of strength and faith for me.

This entry came from Sarah Reinhard from Just Another Day of Catholic Pondering. Please dear Sarah, send me the address to send the book to.

Thanks everyone for your entries. Please try again at another book contest!

God bless!

Special Offer and Book Give Away!

Just wanted you to know that I am having a special offer on my books that you can check out here.

I am also going to run another book give away contest! This time it will be for my book, The Heart of Motherhood: Finding Holiness in the Catholic Home! To enter the contest, simply enter a deserving mother (yourself included) by giving me a reason why she (or you) should win this book! It should be between twenty five and fifty words. No points taken off for spelling or grammar mistakes! :) The winning entry will be published here at "Embracing Motherhood." So what are you waiting for? Don't be shy. Send your emails to DMCooperOboyle(at)aol(dot)com. Please put the words, "Book Contest" in the subject line. You may enter up to three times and it can be the same person all three times. But you must be creative and give three different reasons if you choose to enter the same person three times.

I'll look forward to reading your entries which are due by Wednesday, August 15 (by midnight EASTERN time), The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The winner will be announced on the following Wednesday, The Queenship of Mary. Good luck!
