Now on to the prizes (one per person):

Born and raised in a small town in Southern Ohio, Teresa Slack always dreamed of writing books. The Christian fiction market for which she writes, has given her the opportunity to do what she loves while sharing her faith with readers. She lives with her husband in Ohio where she is an advocate of pet rescue and is currently working on her tenth novel

- "Me, Just Different" a young adult novel by one of my critique partners, Stephanie Morrill. If you have a teenager, get this first book, and her other two, in that teen's hands. She's a great writer.
Stephanie Morrill is a twenty-something living in Kansas with her high school sweetheart-turned-husband and their daughter. She's the author of The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt series, written for teenage girls. She's also the founder of http://www.goteenwriters.com/, a blog that offers a helping hand to teens aspiring to be authors.

Mentor's Pen Editorial Services.
She's experienced in critiquing and editing, a published writer, has served as a judge for novel-writing contests and as a personal mentor. Christy is a pastor’s wife and an ordained minister and a Christian lady who loves words, books, and most of all, the Book. God spoke gently to her heart, asking her to become an encourager to other writers.

Easter humbles me by reminding me of Christ's death, and thrills me with the promise of eternal life with Him.
Oops - forgot to add: last book read was "Get Out of That Pit" by Beth Moore.
(I'm already a follower of this blog!) (Thanks Carole for offering this!)
This is such a fabulous idea, Carole! I feel like a cheater to enter, but I'm gonna anyway. ;-)
Easter is life--without it, we would be without the hope that our sins could be forgiven and death triumphed over.
The historian in me would also like to add, "Did you know that the word 'easter' comes from the name of a goddess of spring?" I had a piano teacher who refused to call the Christian holiday by a pagan name and instead used Resurrection Day. I love that. =)
Book . . . right now I'm reading Highland Blessings by Jennifer Taylor. Before that I was reading my own so I don't think it really counts, LOL.
Spring is new beginnings. Easter is the promise of eternal life since our savior died for us.
Last book I read was "Murder By Mushroom" by Virginia Smith and the Bible

Easter helps to re-ground me and realize all Christ did for us and the love God has for us.
The last book I read is ' Love finds us in Miracle, Kentucky.'

What Easter means to me is summed up in words by Bill and Gloria Gaither: "Because He lives I can face tomorrow; Because He lives all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future; And life is worth the living, just because He lives."
I am currently reading "Your God is Too Small" by J.B. Phillips.
Your responses are thrilling! So glad you visited!
Spring is new beginnings and a feeling of freedom...from being cooped up by dreary, cold weather.
Easter is a perfect reminder of all that Christ did for us and of His amazing sacrifice for our salvation.
The last book I read was The Bride Blunder by Kelly Eileen Hake...can't wait for the next in that series.
Just became a Follower, and you have my email address in Yahoo.

Greetings Caroline,
This is a great giveaway.
Easter is the most precious time of the year to me. I feel such love from our Lord. I feel sad and happy at the same time. Sad that my sins caused such pain and happy that I'm loved so much.
He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
~Last book I read was Too Close to Home by Lynette Eason~
I've been your follower for quite a while and really enjoy your posts.
Blessed Easter to you,

Easter always reminds me of God's healing. My teenage son was diagnosed with bone cancer 10 years ago on Easter Sunday. He is healthy and cancer free!

Spring is a time of renewal, a time for hope, a time for fresh starts, a time for new beginnings. Jesus has risen and gives us all of these new possibilities. The beauty that surrounds us in the season of spring reminds us if His love.
Spring is my favorite season!!

Easter to me means that we are celebrating Jesus Christ who arose from the grave. Spring means new things in bloom. A real point being the fact that I can see pollen falling from my window. The last book I read was Tracey Peterson and Judith Miller's A Surrendered Heart. And I became a follower though I am not actually sure what that means since I am not tech savvy. I already have some of the books you are giving away but I would love to win the Amazon card. gasweetheart211[at]netscape[dot]net
Hope it's not too late to enter; I did not see a deadline.
I love Jesus. This season is all about God's love through Jesus, new life in Him, and hope for eternity.
The last book I read was "Who am I?" by Lena Nelson Dooley. Excellent romance/adventure novella.
