Free Anne Jackson book and a collection of confessions.

The contest is closed. Thanks so much for the great comments. I'll have the winner posted soon.

You have to dig Anne Jackson. There’s not a rule or official decree I am aware of, but if you meet her or hear her speak or read her book, Mad Church Disease, it’s impossible not to dig her.

So when she told me she was writing a new book in the style of “Post Secret” in which folks like you and me could talk about the things you just can’t confess in church and put that in a beautifully designed book and beautifully designed website, my first thought was “awesome.”

OK, my first thought was “I’m so jealous I didn’t think of that idea.” And then I kicked a small woodland creature who skittered across my path as I walking to the mailbox.

But once I was able to get to my second thought which was, “what an awesome idea” I asked Anne if the readers of Stuff Christians Like could join conversation. She’s collecting ideas right this second on her site permissiontospeakfreely.com

So that brings us to the challenge of the day.

Simply put, what’s something you can’t confess in church? What is something true of your life that you’re afraid or embarrassed of ashamed to say in the confines of church?

Anne is going to give the author of her favorite comment a free autographed copy of her book, “Mad Church Disease.” And then, she’s going to read through all the other comments and maybe use some of them on her site in a book or in a million other ways that the ever creative Anne Jackson thinks of. I’ve told her ya’ll are awesome, so Anne is really excited to see what you have to say. And because your words might be printed somewhere, at the bottom of this post is the fancy legal jumbo you apparently have to put when you do these kind of things.

Comment on this post until Tuesday, Tuesday, September 22nd with a response to the question:
