Holy Bible Mosaic Giveaway
Holy Bible Mosaic
Next Friday, October 23, 2009, the Holy Bible Mosaic Blog Tour stops here at Beauty of the Bible. There are a lot of cool things planned for the tour stop including a giveaway for a free Mosaic.
I am running a 10-day contest for your chance to win a Gift Certificate redeemable at any bookstore for a free Holy Bible Mosaic (hard cover edition). I have one myself, and let me tell you, it is gorgeous.
All you have to do to enter is leave me your name in the comments below and check back on Friday to see if you win.
If you post a link to this contest on facebook, you will get one additional entry – if we are not yet friends, you will need to befriend me so that I can confirm the facebook link.
If you have a blog, you can write a post about this, link back to this page, and I will give you another entry for a possible total of three (3) entries.
Bloggers, if you already have a review copy, don’t worry, I will let you designate the person you want to receive it if you win. For example, if you want your grandmother who has no idea how to turn on a computer to win, you can enter for her.
Entries will be accepted until 12:00 noon (CST) on Friday October 23, 2009, and I will have my daughter Libby draw the winning name. The winner will be posted at 5:00pm (CST) on Friday, October 23, 2009. The winner will then contact me via the Contact page above with their mailing address (U.S. mailing addresses only please), and I will mail them their prize.
Here are a few key features (from the Mosaic website):
- Writings from every continent and century of the Christian Church – Contemporary and historical writings from Christians across the globe such as St. Augustine, Charles Wesley, and Henri Nouwen.
- Full-Color Art – Full color art offers another kind of reflective devotional experience, with artwork from contemporary and historical artists.
- Center column reference text with word study system – The clear New Living Translation text in this Bible is set in a center-column reference format, with Greek and Hebrew word studies to give you greater insight in study. There are also icons in the margins of the text to indicate which Scripture passages are linked to which writings.
- Variety of Reflective Content – The content is arranged so that every week the reader has a variety of content for reading and reflection. Each week follows a theme appropriate to the Church season (such as Advent, Easter, etc). The content included for each week includes full-color art; Scripture readings; a historical reading; a contemporary reading; a prayer, creed, hymn or quote; and space for reflection.
- Space for your response to God’s promptings – Add your tile to the mosaic—write or draw your response, prayers and questions in the provided space.

Hi Peter, Here’s my name – Suzan Hughes-Kennedy – for the Bible.
Good day Peter, wow this would be an awesome Bible to have. Thank You.
Walter
I will place on my facebook page too.
Karen Cook
Karen, I’ve got you. For some reason it put your comment in the spam filter, but I’ve recovered it. Thanks.
Matt, Eric, Curtis, Joe, Suzan, Walter – got you. Walter, don’t forget to friend me on facebook so that I can confirm the link, thanks.
I love Bibles. I love words. Enter me, please.
Mosaic. Hmm….
Would that be
“the art consisting of a design made of small pieces of colored stone or glass”
or
“of or relating to Moses or the laws and writings attributed to him; ‘Mosaic Law.’” (source: wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
Or BOTH?
The first definition is definitely the intent. Though this Bible certainly includes the Mosaic law.
Sheila Santiago
Thanks for letting me enter. The Bible looks awesome. God bless you for all you do to get the Word of God to others.
Entering for the Bible!
Pick me. Pick me. Larry Who (aka Larry Nevenhoven).

Thanks, Larry. Brownie points for your comments on The Libster.
Ron, Sheila, Mark, Larry, thank you all very much. You are all entered.

Cindy Tealer, Rosharon, Texas.
Friend of Walter Smith’s, Roscoe, Texas
Posting on Facebook.
Carolyn, Cindy, thank you both.
How great this is! I’m entering my name Johnnie Howell. Thanks!!!
Thanks, Johnnie. Good luck. Remember, you can get another entry by posting this on facebook.
May you be blessed for your giving heart. This is so neat. Looks like a great Bible.
I have the soft cover Mosaic bible so I don’t need to win one. I wish the print were larger. Though I’m liturgical and “into” the Church Year, I find I use the Mosaic as a daily reading bible. Much to the editor’s chagrin, in the few weeks I’ve had it, I just haven’t been motivated to check out the front portions.
But I love it as a daily reading bible. Would that the text was bigger. I’d have purchased a larger version.
Still, an excellent layout, excellent and artistic soft cover and a nice look to the page and feel to the paper.
Chagrin, indeed. Maybe you’ll start using the Mosaic content once Advent rolls around (only 6 Sundays away).
The Bible portion is available as a standalone product. It has the same physical trim size, but the typeface is bigger because the margins are smaller without the icons referring to the Mosaic content. Search Amazon for “NLT Center Column reference.”
G’day Pete. Can an Australian enter? I don’t have a blog anymore but I would love a copy of the bible! I will mention it on Facebook.
Cheers
Mark Stevens

Thanks, Karen. I had a blast doing them. I would love to do it again sometime.

Daniel Epperson
Also – forgot to mention this – thanks to this contest, I discovered beautyofthebible.com, and this will definitely not be the last time I visit! Additionally, as a self-serving disclaimer, I rarely use exclamation points, and, for whatever reason, I’ve now used two. Please don’t judge me.
Thanks, Daniel. You are excused and entered.
Hi Peter! The odds of winning are getting slim with several people submitting their name for a chance to win a certificate for a free Mosaic Bible. So if I do not win, I guess I will look into purchasing one for our household.
I love that the devotional readings will be pointing us to Jesus :0)
Helen, the odds are getting slimmer, but they’re still not bad, about 1/50. Ronald, thanks.
Minnie Castro – Libby’s grandma.
Lydia Stench. I would love to enter your giveaway.
Have I already entered? Can’t remember, but I just want you to know that you do not have to wear cowboy boots and Libby is the prettiest child in the nation.
Minnie (mom), lydia, Larry, you guys are entered.
I would like the Holy bible of Mosaic. This is the first time I heard about it! Please send me a copy! Thank you
