Voting is officially closed. Thanks so much for commenting. I'm going to count the votes and post the winner in a few days.
A few weeks ago I held a "name this chapter" contest. (The chapter in question was about whether it's possible to unsubscribe to a prayer email chain you don't remember signing up for without making it look like you hate Jesus and prayer and humans. You can see the original post right here.)
After going through hundreds of entries, here are the 10 best. Please vote in the comments section by picking the number of the one you think is the funniest. The headline with the most votes will be printed in the Stuff Christians Like book from Zondervan, the winner will have their name in the acknowledgments section and get a free copy of the book. Vote as many times as you like until the end of the day on Tuesday, July 14th.
Here we go:

Leo:Unfinished
2. "Breaking the chains: How to make holy use of the spam folder."
Jonathan Ferguson
3. "Should I Pray or Should I Go Now?"

4. "Stuff Christians Like: Unsubscribing to prayer chain emails - we'll have time to catch up in heaven."

ReplyDelete#1
ReplyDeletenumber 7 made me chuckle!
ReplyDelete# 6
ReplyDelete3
ReplyDelete#6.
ReplyDeleteBut the person voting after me should take note that he/she cannot vote for #6 as that would leave three votes in a row for that number, which is not allowed.
Please vote responsibly (that would mean #3).
Thank you.
#6... but they're ALL great! (sorry Arthur2Sheds) :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for #6
ReplyDeleteI would say 6 6 6 in a chanting voice, but that might be misconstrued, so I'll just say 6.
ReplyDeleteFor obvious reasons, I like #3. But 6 is good as well... can the chapter have two names?
ReplyDeleteSix and three are my favs. Six wins due to the scripture reference.
ReplyDelete#7 love it.
ReplyDelete#7!
ReplyDeletenumber 6, definitely!
ReplyDeleteI am torn between 6 and 7.
ReplyDeletei think 9 is hilarious.

ReplyDelete#6
ReplyDelete3
ReplyDelete#4 and #9 are the most SCLish...#6 sounds like everything this blog makes fun of...our tendency to be super-religious-spiritual and so it would make sense to choose #6 then....
ReplyDelete#4!

ReplyDelete#7
ReplyDelete2!
ReplyDelete#6 gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteThey are all great, but #1 even sounds like you,
ReplyDelete#1
ReplyDeleteI can't pick which I like best, but my least favorites are 4, 6, 10... I think the others are just funnier!
ReplyDeleteI think number 1 may be my fave. Ok. Final answer: 1.
My favorite is 12, but to be practical I have to go with 6
ReplyDelete6.

Ah. i couldn't decide between #5 and #9, but #9 made me laugh out loud. (yes, literally) so it gets my vote!

ReplyDeleteNumber 3...it had the SCL song reference going for it and everything.
ReplyDelete#6 is great
ReplyDeleteagreed #3 is the strongest. now how do i get the clash out of my head?
ReplyDelete#6
ReplyDeletewell, the allusion of number 3 is good, but it's been done before... it is actually a parody song by apologetix lol, and I think number 6 is more SCLish... so between those two, I will go for number 6
ReplyDeletenumber 6 it is...
#2. Partly because it reminds me of a title of a Beth Moore Bible study.
ReplyDelete7 - roflol! 7!
ReplyDelete#1!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly difficult! They all made me smile. But I think I'll go with 3. No, 6. Wait...3 it is.
