Oh, how EXCITING!
I have not read this book, but if I win it I certainly will! The difference between bible versions is so important and so little known by virtually everyone- I hope this book brings this issue to light!
There are so many people I want to share this with.
I have been reading reviews and comments about this book. It sounds like it would be a great addition to our library of Bibles and references.
Mostly just curious. It sounds like an interesting read.
Have not read this book, but anticipating either winning it or buying…sounds very interesting.
Sounds like a great book.

Sounds like a fascinating book. Definitely be interested in hearing more about Bible translation.
I am a biblical scholar. this book will provide immeasurable insight to unlock the hidden treasures of God’s Word. WOW! In Jesus name i must win a copy.
Translation allows us to gain a greater understanding of the original, and this book enriches our understanding of that complicated process.
Do you accept international entries? So many of these competitions restrict winners to the USA. If you do the same, please remove my entry but also amend the post to say so.
There shouldn’t be any problem with international entries.
This book looks great – I’d love to snag a copy.
thanks for the contest
Yes, please. Now if only I blogged…
I’ve been reading Joel Hoffman’s blog for a few months but haven’t read this book. I’d love to win it!
Sounds like and interesting book.
Count me in. Thanks.
I’d like to add this book to my physical library. Bible translation interests me.
IMHO, Joel Hoffman’s blog, “God Didn’t Say That” stands head and shoulders above other similar blogs, so I look forward to reading his book, which I’m sure will be *great!*
Bible translation is an interesting topic.
“Random” had better mean that I’m going to win the book!
Sounds good–count me in!
I look forward to reading your book.
Looking forward to reading this book. The process, and politics, of Bible translation has always fascinated me.
This sounds like a book I’d better read!
It would be really interesting to read this. I have always thought that there was something lost in translation when it comes to the Bible. I love my Bible but I would love to be able to know what it really said.
Praises to Our Lord for He truly shows His love for us by giving us His Word so that we can hear, then believe, then receive. i am looking forward to reading more of what God said. thanks for making it available
Reading translation explantions of the Bible is always facinating! Would love for this book to be available on Kindle.
It is available on Kindle, here.
Can I get the kindle version?
And God Said is available on Kindle, but this giveaway is just for a hardcover book, which will be signed. (We haven’t figured out yet how to offer signed e-books!)
I have GDST on my blog roll too, I think – and it’s going on all my blogs if I don’t. My blogroll is on a separate ‘page’ referred to by the four blogs I write (http://stenagmois.blogspot.com/p/blogs-i-am-reading_06.html).
I am a layman who is interested in studying the Hebrew scriptures but am sometimes confused by the varients in different translations. The proliferation of translations lately makes it even more difficult. I only learned about this book today, but am hoping it will give me some broad guidelines to better decide what the original text actually said without my having to learn the language itself.
I love and study the Bible as all of us… I collect many translations… studied Greek NT for 3 academic college years… I look forward to studying this book!

I think any book that brings clairity to my favorate book has to be good, i would love the opportunity to make this book part of my library.
We really enjoyed “In the Beginning: A Short History of the Hebrew Language”, and are looking forward to reading this book.
Would love to win a free copy of your new book ‘And God Said’. I participate in a local theology discussion group with about 10 other spiritually connected individuals – this might be a good book for our next book discussion. Thank you and God Bless You!
I love the thought of really knowing what G*D said.The whole truth.
I know that this book won’t explain everything God meant to say in the Bible, but it really hope it’ll be close
I would love to read this book.
I am so excited to enter for a chance to win a copy of this book.
sound like a great book for my studies, would love this book
Found the book by accident through good Ol’ Facebook. Just ordered it on Amazon and then found out about this contest. So, oh well, if I win I can give a copy away, yaaaaaay!
Layla: This giveaway actually ended some time ago. But we’re planning to offer another one soon, so check back frequently, here or on Facebook!
And in the meantime, enjoy the book.
Joel’s writing is a joy to read. It is free from the stench of politics, and never fails to illuminate. If I win this book, I vow to kill the first person that walks through my door, as a sacrifice to God. Just kidding.
I love studying the Bible. This sounds very interesting.
