Graceful Giveaways: 05/08/13

2013-05-09T05:51:00.001-07:00

Today I am excited to kick off a new feature on Catholic Deals: Graceful Giveaways - a link up for Christian and Catholic giveaways!

I will be posting this new link up every Thursday morning. Bloggers, Etsy shops, businesses, and anyone running a giveaway for a Christian or Catholic product can add their giveaways to the list. Then all of you who are interested in winning these types of products can find all the opportunities to win all in one place!

A few rules for the link up are as follows:

~ First of all, the giveaways prizes do not have to be specifically Catholic. Any Christian giveaways are welcome. I would just ask that you of course skip anything anti-Catholic.

~ This is a link up for specifically Christian or Catholic products. Even if you are a Christian or Catholic blog, please promote your secular giveaways elsewhere, so that it's easy to find the religious items. That being said, I'll be generous about what constitutes a religious item. As long as it has a obvious connection to Christianity, it counts.

~ Some examples of the types of giveaway items that you might find here are: spiritual and inspirational books, Bibles, children's books, Christian fiction, audio books, praise CDs, films, religious toys, homeschool materials, rosaries, statues, medals, other religious jewelry, Christian themed home decor, and much more.

~ I reserve the right to remove any giveaways at any time without notice. Anything that clearly violates the Church's moral teachings is outta here. :)

~ Please link up your giveaways in the following format: Blog name - Type of Prize - Ending Date. For example: Catholic Deals - Saint Peg Doll - 05/15.

Okay, enough of the boring rules! I am running a giveaway of my own this week to celebrate the kickoff! You can check it out here.

Now, please link up your giveaways below! And spread the word about this new feature! The more people who hear about it the more great giveaways will be shared and the more chances you will have to win great Christian stuff!

Giveaway: St. Miriam and Friends Wooden Saint Peg Doll

2013-05-09T05:46:00.001-07:00

To kick of my new Graceful Giveaways Link Up, I have a great giveaway for you today. One lucky Catholic Deals reader will win a saint peg doll of their choice from St. Miriam and Friends!

St. Miriam and Friends is an Etsy shop selling wooden saint peg dolls. You can choose among several dozen beautifully detailed saints or even request a custom design. They also sell customized First Communion boy and girl peg dolls. Each saint is a 3.5 inch wooden peg hand-painted with non-toxic paints and then sealed with non-toxic sealer. Each saint comes in its own sewn pouch for safekeeping.

Sharon, a homeschooling mom of 5 children here and 3 in heaven, and the creator of St. Miriam and Friends, says about her shop:

It has always been a challenge to find faith based toys for my children, and the perfect sacramental gift for our god children. This idea was brought to me and we have SO enjoyed the painting of our little saints. My children have cherished their collection of wooden saints and we wish to offer it to other families as well.

I love all the details on these little saints, as well the variety of saints offered.

Sharon also shared the very special inspiration for her shop:

The shop is named for our little Miriam Rose, who was taken from us unexpectedly at 11 hours old, being baptized already, we know she is our little saint.

You can follow Sharon's blog, My Treasured Gems, to learn more about her story

One Catholic Deals reader will win a saint doll of their choice from St. Miriam and Friends! The instructions for entering the giveaway are below. Please read them carefully! You can't win unless I have your contact information.

I have simplified my giveaway entering process to make it less confusing and easier to get multiple entries.

To enter:

1) Simply leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite saint doll from St. Miriam and Friends. You must answer this question to enter. Please include your email in your comment if it is not available in your profile.

This contest ends Wednesday, May 15, at midnight. I will choose the winner randomly and notify him or her by email, and he/she will have 72 hours to respond. Good luck, and please share this great giveaway with your friends!

Sponsor Profile: Sacred Heart Books and Gifts - And a Coupon Code!

2013-05-08T11:31:00.001-07:00

Today I would like to introduce you to another new sponsor of Catholic Deals: Sacred Heart Books and Gifts. Here is a bit about this company in their own words:

We are a family owned apostolate bookstore, dedicated to our Lord and Lady. We focus on serving the family by providing discounts on a majority of our products year round. We offer 1,000s of homeschool and Catholic books and items for all styles of learning.

One thing that I really like about Sacred Heart Books and Gifts is their bright, easy to navigate website. They also carry a huge selection of products! They carry materials from home schooling curricula, including Mother of Divine Grace, Five in a Row, Catholic Heritage Curricula and Little Saints Preschool. They also stock supplies for Catholic children's clubs, such as Little Flowers Girls Club and Blue Knights Club. They also carry a variety of other books, movies, religious gifts, and more.

Something else that I love about this store is their prices! They discount items every day, and their prices stand up to the competition. In fact, as a test, I just checked the prices of three popular books - 33 Days to Morning Glory, The Clown of God, and Ablaze, Stories of Daring Teen Saints - and in each case their prices were as good or better than Amazon's!

Linda from Sacred Heart Books and Gifts shared these comments with me from her satisfied customers:

"I love this website! I get phone calls with information on my orders, shipping is great and prices are usually lower than most. Plus there is an array of great books!"

"We have purchased at least half of our homeschooling materials from Sacred Heart Books and Gifts for all the almost 5 years we have been homeschooling. Linda is a sweetheart, and a pleasure to talk to. Shipping is fast, and they follow up well on the occasional backorders. Five Stars - High Recommended!"

You can go to their website to sign up for Sacred Heart Books and Gift's email newsletter and for links to follow them on social media sites, in order to learn about upcoming promotions as well their home school conference schedule.

Currently, from May 8-15, Sacred Heart Books and Gifts is offering free shipping with orders over $50 with code JMJ595.

Whether you are a homeschooler looking for one stop shopping for your Catholic curriculum needs or any Catholic family looking for a great source for books, media, and gifts, be sure to bookmark Sacred Heart Books and Gifts.

Free Catholic Action Novel E-Book

2013-05-07T06:00:00.002-07:00

Today Amazon is offering the Kindle version of Sons of Cain, a Catholic action thriller by Val Bianco, for free!

The synopsis reads in part:

An ancient group of twelve unspeakably powerful men are prepared to implement mass suicide in the United States. Already in control of the Congress and the Presidency, all that they lack is the Supreme Court. The only thing standing between these SONS OF CAIN and the lives of the Court is a small group of dedicated warriors.

Sounds exciting!

Graceful Giveaways: Christian Giveaways Link Up

2013-05-06T08:33:00.003-07:00

I am excited to announce that a new feature is starting on Catholic Deals this week: Graceful Giveaways!

When looking to promote my own Catholic giveaways online, I realized that they were getting buried in long lists of secular giveaways on other links ups, making it difficult for interested Catholics to find them. I looked for a link up specifically for Christian products, but I couldn't find one, so I am starting my own!

Every Thursday morning, I will be posting a feature where blogs and companies that are running giveaways for Catholic and Christian products can add their links. Then all of you readers can find opportunities to win all that great religious stuff all in one place!

If you are a blogger, Etsy shop, or company running a giveaway for a Christian or Catholic item this week, I hope you will stop by and link up. You can even link up someone else's giveaway - I'm sure they won't mind!

Of course, I will be kicking off Graceful Giveaways with a giveaway of my own, so be sure to stop back here on Thursday to check out all the giveaways and for your chance to win!

Catholic Books for Grads

2013-05-06T08:05:00.000-07:00

Attending an upcoming Eighth Grade, High School, or college graduation? Here are some great Catholic book ideas!

Perfect for a high school graduate, Catholic and College Bound is written by a priest and campus minister and lists five challenges and five opportunities that college brings to Catholic young adults, with advice on how to handle them. It's just $5.95 from Catholic Child.

While the previous title is more practical, Disorientation, How to Go to College Without Losing Your Mind gives advice from a more intellectual standpoint. Through essays by writers like Peter Kreeft and Mark Shea, it tackles many of the popular philosophies that permeate academia and our culture and how Catholics can refute them. It's $11.69 on Amazon

Another approach to the Catholic life guide for young adults is Amy Welborn's Here. Now., which is $9.95 from Catholic Child. In this book she talks about the meaning of life in light of the Catholic faith.

If you're looking for more of a straight spiritual book, check out Ablaze: Stories of Daring Teen Saints or its sequel Radiate, More Stories of Daring Teen Saints. They are $10.02-$11.09 on Amazon.

Another great saintly story for young adults is A Man of the Beatitudes, the story of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. I read this book just a couple of years ago and was very inspired by the story of this saintly yet modern young man. It's $9.77 on Amazon right now.

This little book, Behold Your Mother: A Teen's Girl's Reflections on the Holy Rosary, is written by a teen girl and could be perfect for teens or any age group. It is $7.19 on Amazon.

This one looks like a great choice for a young man: Seven Men and the Secrets of their Greatness by Eric Metaxes, author of the acclaimed biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The seven men are George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, John Paul II, and Charles Colson. The list price of this book is $24.99; it is currently on sale on Amazon for $13.99.

Have you read any of these books? Do you know of any other great Catholic books for grads? Please share in the comments!
