Laurel Wreath’s Reflections

Tricia Goyer’s Blog Tour

Battles heat up…not only those being waged by the soldiers on both sides fighting for Spain, but in the hearts and minds of the men and women who must sacrifice more than their dreams to save the lives of their loved ones.

In this meticulously researched novel, brave and idealistic Sophie, Philip, Jose, and Deion realize their only hope for freedom is escaping Spain’s borders.

By continuing the story of this band of volunteers during the Spanish Civil War, A Whisper of Freedom proves that there are whispers of hope and liberty that resonate through even the darkest night.

During the tour the length of the tour you can be entered to win one of FIVE signed copies of A Whisper of Freedom by signing up for Tricia’s newsletter here!

This tour is a bit different in that they are doing it in the form of a MEME, I will answer the questions first and then tagged some sweet souls (who I know will still speak to me in the end).

Here are the MEME questions!

1. List three things you would do with a chest full of gold (assuming you got to keep it!)
Right now I don’t think I could keep it, I would give it towards China & Myanmar. And I would adopt a BUNCH OF Compassion kids (see my sidebar)

2. List three charities/missions/organizations you support (and why).

My church
Compassion
My local Christian Radio Station
My Missionary cousin

3. List three ways you have volunteered your time/services.

Youth Ministry
Sports Mom Stuff
Writing devotionals

4. List three things you keep “hidden” when company comes over.

Laundry baskets (if you come over all the time you get to deal with my laundry baskets)
My boys rooms.
All the papers that seem to pile up on my side table.

5. List the last three things you’ve lost.

My first promise ring
My brain (three child births does that to you =)
My first dog.

6. List the last three things you’ve found.

Money laying on the ground
A necklace
Tons of trash after my boys have eaten in my room.

Three brave “players” will be selected at random to win their own lost gold (Gourmet chocolate coins and all three books in the Chronicles of the Spanish Civil War series).

To enter all you have to do is answer the MEME on your blog and then leave a comment on Tricia’s blog tour post here that you’ve posted your MEME. Easy.

I tag Iris at Sting My Heart, and Shalee at Shalee’s Diner
