Think Positive Thursday Giveaway

Congrats to reader Maria who won the $20 Christian Audio giveaway on Think Positive Thursday.  Today’s 24 hour giveaway is a 5-CD audiobook by Matthew Barnett entitled  The Cause Within You: Finding the One Great Thing You Were Created To Do In This World.

Written by the founder of the Dream Center in Los Angeles, Barnett shares his own story of transformation and hope through Jesus Christ.  He encourages us to find the God-given purpose that lies within each one of us and pursue it with passion!  One of the most inspiring books I’ve read in a long time!

Wanna win it?  Leave a comment in the form below.  Any comment will do, but if you have a suggestion for a future Think Positive giveaway, I’d sure love it if you shared!  I will use random.org to select one winner at midnight CST tomorrow (4/1).  If you’re the winner, I’ll send you an email.  You’ll have 48 hours to reply or an alternate will be chosen.

NOTE: I have had comments and questions regarding whether I have sponsors for my Think Positive giveaways.  I don’t.  I simply want to share resources that have genuinely helped me maintain a positive outlook through my life.  This and all Think Positive Thursday giveaways are sponsored by ME and the opinions are 100% MINE ;)
