Review + giveaway for "I Dare You" by Isabella Morganthal

Today I am so excited to share with you a review on Isabella Morganthal's book "I Dare You" (yes dear readers, there will be a giveaway as well lol).

I was very grateful that she let me review her book!!

I heard about it from my dear friend Chloe and from Rhey. And after I learned that it was on stopping human trafficking, I knew it was something that I wanted to review.

I absolutely love this book!  I'm a big fan of "Do Hard Things" and "Start Here" by Alex and Brett Harris, so when Isabella presented her readers with challenges, I fell in love with the book even more!

Isabella does an amazing job presenting the importance of becoming aware whether something is fair trade or not, doing your part in not supporting companies who aren't, etc.
Her book is overflowing with Scripture and wisdom - I was very impressed.  It's not everyday you read a book written by a young person and have it overflowing with knowledge, Scripture, wisdom, and much more.

Her book is described as this (taken from the back of the book):

Bullying. Homelessness. Abortion. Human trafficking. It doesn't take much searching to discover that there are a lot of things wrong in our world today. What could one person possibly do about all these issues? In I Dare You, Isabella Morganthal dares you to step out and make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. She helps you dig deep and discover your passion, while encouraging you to do something about it. This is a dare to give everything you have to Jesus and watch Him do amazing things with your life. This is a dare to make your life count. This is a dare to change your world.

I encourage everyone to get their hands on this book, and allow God to speak to you through this wonderful book.

Who would like a signed copy of this book?
... well that's awesome ... you can put your hands down now ;)

Giveaway reminder....

I am giving away the book "Singlehood That Glorifies God" by John Coblentz.  I have read this book and liked it.  Instead of referencing "courting/courtship" the author references "dating"...that is the only thing I had issues with.  Other than that...it was really good.

It talks about how single people need to understand themselves and focus on serving God.

Here's how you enter this giveaway:

1. Leave a comment sharing what the Lord has been teaching you (1 comment = 1 entry) 
2. Post about this giveaway on your blog or any other sites you have (1 post = 1 entry)
3. Memorize 1 Corinthians 7:34
Please no anonymous comments...it makes it harder when I announce the winner!  Thank you...

Let me know if you've entered the giveaway by emailing me through the "Contact Me" page.  This giveaway ends July 13th, 2013.
