an actual giveaway for my blog!

Yes, you heard right............I get to do an actual giveaway from MY blog not just post about someone else's!

Waterbrook Publishing sent me an extra copy of Matthew Paul Turner's book, Hear No Evil. You can read my review here.

All you have to do to enter is answer the following question:

In the book, Matthew writes about a conversation with a woman he was in high school with. They are discussing contemporary christian music and their varying views (both come from a fundamentalist Baptist background, but Matthew has realized that may not be the best way for him to worship while Roberta still affirms that view). Matthew says. "But it's meant to be a love song to God. Or at least about God." to which the woman replies. "Why anybody would want to sing a love song to God, I'll never know."

So, tell me, Why would you (or wouldn't you) want to sing a love song to God?
