Ligonier Giveaway Winners

Giveaways / Free Stuff Fridays Collection cover image

The Ligonier Conference Giveaway I announced on Wednesday has now closed and the winners have been chosen. Each of the prizes is an admission pass to the conference (or, if a person entering the contest wished to take his or her spouse, a pair of passes).

A word about methodology for choosing the winners. As the emails came in, I added them to a folder in my inbox. After the contest closed I counted how many emails I had received. I then ran a small script that chose randomly from this list of numbers. I chose winners based on these numbers (so if the script chose number 52, I counted down to the 52nd entry I received).

And in this way I arrived at four winners. They are: Tim Ake, David Willis, and John Rabe with his wife (I’m sure she has a name but John did not include it in his email). I have contacted each of these people via email.

Thanks to all who entered. I hope you will still consider attending the conference and I will look forward to meeting you down in sunny Orlando.

    It Begins and Ends with Speaking

    Part of the joy of reading biography is having the opportunity to learn about a person who lived before us. An exceptional biography makes us feel as if we have actually come to know its subject, so that we rejoice in that person’s triumphs, grieve over his failures, and weep at his death.

  • The Anxious Generation

    The Great Rewiring of Childhood

    I know I’m getting old and all that, and I’m aware this means that I’ll be tempted to look unfavorably at people who are younger than myself. I know I’ll be tempted to consider what people were like when I was young and to stand in judgment of what people are like today. Yet even…
