Patti Jo Kester Cook!
Congratulations, Patti Jo! You have one week to send me (michellelesley1@yahoo.com) your e-mail address so I can get you all squared away.
Thanks so much to all of my wonderful Facebook “likers”. You are the best!
You like me! You really like me! You have all been so kind to join in this journey with me, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support and your prayers. I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you better in the future.
I’m so excited that I have over 125 friends who like me that I wish I could give all of you a thank you present. Unfortunately, I only have one, and it is (insert drumroll here):
A $25 gift card to Amazon.com!
At 4:00 p.m. (Central) today, I will randomly choose which one of you, my friends who like me ;0) will receive this gift.
Amazon has all kinds of merchandise from books and music to groceries and car parts. And it even has (insert BIGGER drumroll here)…
Jacob: Journaling the Journey
now available for pre-order for just $10.19!
Of course, you can use the gift card any way you like, but this is a great price if you want to order it now (it’ll be delivered in September). The regular retail price will be $14.99.
So check back here after 4:00 p.m. to see if there’s an Amazon shopping trip in YOUR future! (FYI- I’ll need the recipient to send me his/her e-mail address: michellelesley1@yahoo.com)
And be sure to check the article I posted yesterday. It has some VERY VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION about future give aways.
Hi Facebook Fans-
I found out some important information today about Facebook’s policies regarding holding contests and promotions on my “Michelle Lesley-Author” page.
In a nutshell, they’ve made it virtually impossible for “little guys” like me to hold any sort of competition or drawing where there’s a prize at stake. If you want to read the official policy, you can find it at– face book dot com slash promotions underscore guidelines– I’d provide the actual link, but I’m afraid they might be “watching” (and if you do any sort of promotions on your own page, you will definitely want to read and abide by this, because if they find you in violation, they can terminate your page without warning).
Does this mean I’m going to stop doing competitions and give aways? No way! They’re too much fun! So here’s what we’re going to do:
Take a look at your News Feed on your own personal page. Not your Wall (Profile), where you can only see things you’ve posted, but your News Feed– the part where you can see everybody else’s statuses and stuff. Are we all on the same page? Good.
Ok, in the upper left corner, you’ll see your profile picture and your name. Under that, it will say “News Feed”, and under that it will say “Messages”. Click on the word “Messages”. When you do, the word “Updates” should appear.
An Update is a message from a fan page to all of its fans. Now, from time to time, I’ll have some “VERY VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION” to share with you that I won’t be able to share with you directly on my Facebook page, so I will send you an Update. You’ll be able to tell that it’s “VERY VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION” because the subject line of the message will say “VERY VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION”. In order to read that “VERY VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION” you’ll need to come here to my web site. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a link to click on. (If you don’t understand what I’m getting at here, e-mail me at michellelesley1@yahoo.com and I’ll explain further.)
So, to sum up, CONTESTS AND PROMOTIONS WIL NO LONGER BE HELD ON MY “MICHELLE LESLEY- AUTHOR” page. They will be held here instead. It would be a very good idea to subscribe to this web site (there’s a “subscribe” button to your upper right on the side bar) so you’ll also receive e-mail notifications about any contests that take place in the future.
My apologies if this inconveniences anybody. Tomorrow’s “125 Likers” drawing will take place tomorrow as scheduled, but it will be handled here instead of on Facebook. Be sure to check and see if you’ve won!
Welcome to my new home on the web, www.MichelleLesleyBooks.com!
If you were a subscriber to or a follower of Bread and Water, you’ll find all of the old content here. I’ll be shutting down Bread and Water eventually, so be sure to subscribe here to keep up with my blog posts and the latest news on the debut of my new book, Jacob: Journaling the Journey.
I’ve got a new Facebook page, too: Michelle Lesley- Author, so hop on over and “like” me, and spread the word to all your friends!
See you around the web!

I’m so excited to share this with you! This week my publisher, Sheaf House, sent me the cover for my book, Jacob: Journaling the Journey.
It’s an exciting women’s Bible study on the life of Jacob, and in a format that’s refreshingly different from most of the workbook Bible studies you’re used to. In Jacob, you’ll have the opportunity to really dig deep and discover what God is saying to you, personally, through the Scripture.
Jacob: Journaling the Journey follows the story of this “rough around the edges” Old Testament character as he grows from an impetuous mama’s boy into one of the founding fathers of the faith. Equally important to Jacob’s story are the family members—such as “Manipu-Mom” Rebecca, “Wild Thing” Esau, and Rachel, Queen of High Maintenance—who played such vital roles in his life.
So come join the journey. You’ll find that the same God that moved mightily through the life of this rough-and-tumble patriarch can move powerfully in our hearts today.
Jacob: Journaling the Journey will soon be available for pre-order, and will be available through Christian retail stores and on-line this August.
Want a sneak preview? I’m available to speak to your church’s women’s group, at conferences, retreats, workshops, etc. E-mail me at songotsouth@yahoo.com (or use my regular contact information if you know me personally).
