Win the Official InScribed Necklace!

In honor of the InScribed Studies Blog-Hop Week, I am giving away an InScribed necklace to one of my readers on Friday. Be ahead of the fashion curve and sport this Lisa Leonard design before it hits stores. All you have to do is WIN!

I love to play games. David and I spend most of our weekends (when we’re in Tennessee) with friends and family playing Canasta, Munchkin, or Settlers of Catan. It’s a great way to get to know new friends because you quickly learn each other’s thought process and competitive spirit. And it’s cheap! I’d love to get to know my readers better, so here’s a little game David and I came up with while traveling out West.

Take a look at the photographs below. These are places I have been blessed to visit, and places where I felt especially close to God. Reply to this blog post in a comment, and guess where in the world I am. Then tell me your favorite place to have a little quiet time with God. It may be standing at the top of the world or sitting at your grandmother’s secretary in your bedroom. On Friday at noon MDT, I’ll do a random drawing of all my commentators and announce the winner on the blog.

Ready, set, GO!

1. Garden of Gethsemane or Biltmore Gardens?
2. Mendenhall Lake or Niagara Falls?

3. Petrified Forest or Mount St. Helens?

4. Key West or Hilton Head Island?

5. Israel or Utah?

6. Israel or Utah?

Stones Still Speak

When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories—Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks–with what we’ve seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there’s a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.

In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God’s Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

Available for pre-order now. Books will ship from your favorite retailer by September 23, 2025.
