Giveaway! Three copies of The Gift of Birth: Discerning God's Presence During Childbirth

Friends, it is my pleasure to announce that The Gift of Birth: Discerning God's Presence During Childbirth is published and available for purchase!  Hurrah!

Many of you know this has been in the works for a while.  Those of you who have read Theology of the Body, Extended, this book is a more practical, popular version of the exploration of childbirth as a sign created to point to God.  It is rooted in John Paul II's Theology of the Body and Ignatius of Loyola's work in spiritual direction.  In fact, it is structured to read a (short) chapter at a time as an evening spiritual reflection or "retreat at home" reading.  It is written for women who are anticipating childbirth or processing their previous experience(s) of childbirth, and for all those who minister to pregnant women.  I'm excited this is finally out (I'd say "born" but that is too awful a pun, even for me)!

We are celebrating and trying to spread the word a bit by running a book launch giveaway!  Gracewatch Media is providing three copies to give away...all you have to do is share the book through one social medium, like facebook (with a link to this blog post or the Gracewatch book page), and that earns you one entry.  Another share (say, on Twitter) and you get another entry.  If you have a blog and want to write a blog post with one of those links, you get ANOTHER entry. (And Pinterest, and google+, etc.) And you could, theoretically, do all of these once a day and it would count!  (But no more than that, please.)  Record your shares on the Rafflecopter widget below, and we will get Rafflecopter to randomly choose an three entries as book winners on April 17!

Good luck and share away!
