Giveaway: Chris Tomlinson's Crave: Wanting So Much More of God

Note: The contest is now closed. Thanks!
---------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Harvest House Publishers, I've been able to get a couple copies of Chris Tomlinson's new book Crave: Wanting So Much More of God. One is obviously for me to review, which means I've got another one to give away to you.

First, a little about the book. Here's the summary from the website for the book:

There’s a certain feeling writers have about their first book, or so I assume because I have this feeling. There’s the sense that I will never again write another book, because all has been said, and because writing doesn’t get any better than this. And there’s another sense of discomfort that this book will be in print, because people are going to realize writing does get much better than this, and there’s far more to say than the simple words I’ve written.

Even so, Crave represents a season in my life that all Christians have passed through or will encounter. At its core, it’s a story of desire, of wanting so much more of God, and the struggle that ensues with God, purpose, faith, and setbacks. For years, I sensed there was more to my faith than I knew or had experienced, and I wanted more, but I didn’t know how to go about getting it. So I dove into church, and study, and service, and evangelism, and spiritual disciplines, and I ended up a burned out Christian.

I didn’t yet know the source, or the purpose, of our cravings. But God was content to write one chapter in my life at a time. And as He put the finishing touches on this season of my life, I came to see something about my cravings I hadn’t seen before. Something simple. Something profound. Which has just started an entirely new story. Join with me in this journey and find how your own pages will be written.

If you'd like to win a free copy, all you have to do is comment on this post with a way for me to contact you if you win. That's it. The contest will run through next Wednesday, Feb. 10th. Please pass along the link, and if you follow me on Twitter (please do), please RT that as well. Thanks for reading, and good luck!

To further encourage you to enter, here's a quick promo video for the book.
