Free books. Want to do something for God?

Thanks for the great comments, the contest is over. Read the comments if you ever need a moment of encouragement.

Next to Frisbee, trying to figure out what God wants us to do with our lives might be our favorite sport. I know I’ve personally written about 37 different ideas on Stuff Christians Like about feeling like God wants me to go on a mission. (God constantly just tells me, “I do want you to go on a mission but you think that requires a passport. Your mission is to worship me exactly where you are.”)

Adding his creative voice to this age old debate is Kevin DeYoung. He wrote the book “Just Do Something.” I got it a few days ago and have not had a chance to finish it yet, so if in the last chapter DeYoung says “satan is awesome,” well then, my bad.

Moody Publishers said I could give away 4 copies of Just Do Something. I thought we could talk about the headline on the back of the book.

Here it is:
“Hyper-spiritual approaches to finding God’s will don’t work. It’s time to try something new: give up.”

Best 4 comments with a story about a time you gave up win a free copy of the book.

Submit them until Thursday, May 21th.

So when have you given up?
