Tea With Hezbollah Contest - Winners Announced!

When I was given the opportunity by Waterbrook Press to review Tea With Hezbollah by Ted Dekker and Carl Medearis, I was excited. I'm a longtime fan of Dekker and am constantly amazed by his insightful and gripping fiction, which has propelled him all the way to the New York Times bestsellers list. I knew Ted would have a unique take on the issues in the Middle East, and I couldn't wait to read Ted's words as he recounted his adventure with Carl Medearis. But enough about what I thought about Tea With Hezbollah. You can read that review in full right here.

You want to know about the contest, the one where I was giving away a copy of Tea With Hezbollah to someone else. The publishers were nice enough to give me a copy to give away, and I thought "Hey, here's an idea...let's try to draw some people to my Facebook fan page." Just to incite some competition, I even added in a 2nd place prize. I thought if I got a couple people to refer 10 friends or a bit over that I could call the contest successful.

I. Was. Completely. AMAZED. at the sheer number of referrals that came in, and the many more fans that joined without being referred. All in all, The Christian Critic went from 106 fans at the beginning of the contest to 506 at the contest's end. What sort of arm-twisting, blackmailing techniques were used to get that many people to become a fan, I don't know. And hopefully even though you may have been a bit coerced to join, I can convince you that being a regular reader is worth it.

But enough introduction...let's announce our winners.

1st Place - Josh Hurst - 106

2nd Place - Katie Gaylean - 65 

Josh will be receiving a copy of the just released Tea With Hezbollah while Katie will receive a copy of The Martyr's Song by Ted Dekker. If you two would please send me your information by contacting me here, I'll get your prizes out to you as soon as possible. 

For the rest of you, keep watching for future contests! We average around one a month here at The Christian Critic, and next time it just might be you in the winner's circle. Thanks to everybody that played. It was a blast. If you haven't ordered Tea With Hezbollah already, do so soon!
