Book Giveaway Carnival: One Extraordinary Day by Harold Myra
CONTEST CLOSED – We have a winner! Congratulations Christy, saying “I would love to win a copy of One Extraordinary Day by Harold Myra.”
Thanks to everyone for participating!
From November 3rd – 8th, Bookroom Reviews is hosting an excellent week of book giveaway goodness! This is my first giveaway for the week, but who knows, I may be able to round up more!
If you are a book blogger, please check out the Christian Book Carnival, hosted here each Wednesday. Please consider submitting your Christian book reviews or volunteering to host an edition on your blog.
Now on to the contest!
Up for grabs is my review copy of One Extraordinary Day by Harold Myra. This is a paperback ARC in gently read condition. This title didn’t sit well with me, so I’d like to send it out to see if it might reach someone who needs to hear its’ message or who could be blessed by it.
Here is an introduction to the title from my review. To read the full review, click here. The first chapter and a brief author biography can be found here. While I wasn’t too impressed with this book, one of my book blogging friends Deena gave it a shining review that you can read here for an alternative opinion.
Meet David – distressed, distraught, downtrodden and seeking decompression. With his career on shaky ground
, tensions have mounted, and his emotions are close to boiling over. His wife Marcia has recommended a get-away, a time of relaxation – spend some time in nature, kick back and forget about work. This novella opens with David doing just that, spending time at the lake while striving to put his worries behind him.
Unfortunately putting his worries behind him is easier said than done. David stews in an emotional turmoil of his own making, mulling over the past, magnifying the significance of minor confrontations, holding grudges. The intrusion of an unusual stranger in David’s life not only disrupts his plans, but also permanently disrupts his perception of reality and God.
So, how can you enter? Keep reading!

Hello! Frankly, I am interested in this title because I don’t think I have ever read “Christian fiction” – even though I am Christian! I am intrigued.

The title interested me because I’m an inordinary person! And I think the title is unique and not so common.
Umm well….that would interest me since I am a Christian and I know that with God anything can happen. I understand peculiar days….they seem to come when we least expect them.
But an extraordinary day…..hmmm that would be worth the read!

I’m intrigued! I have a LOT of down, depressed, needing to decompress days. I really want to know how God works in his life, now.
Thanks for the chance.
It has me curious as of what will take place on this extrordinary day. I haven’t read alot of Christian Fiction so i think i would really enjoy this! photoquest(at)bellsouth(dot)net
I think it’s so easy to let the other things in life distract us from being close to God. This sounds like an interesting read!

I’m intersted in this one because I am curious as to the path the character takes through all this rurmoil. Is it true to life? Does it really offer hope, or is it just fairy tale? stonefox@pobox.com

I don’t know that I’ve ever had an extraordinary day. The title caught my attention because I wondered exactly what an ‘extraordinary day’ would comprise of – would it be when all the stars are in alignment? When you catch all the green lights? When you didn’t get caught in a lie? When you are involved in a 20-car pileup and walk away totally unscathed? I love to read, and this book catches my attention. If I’m fortunate enough to win, you can reach me at dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
The title atleast makes the book seem like it has a happy ending. I always love a happy ending! Thanks for the chance to win!
Why do I want to read this book? David sounds a lot like me, distressed, distraught, downtrodden and seeking decompression. Finding out how he overcomes all this would be nice for me, and maybe help me a little, and hopefully draw me closer to God.

I haven’t had an extraordinary day in a long time, would love to read about someone elses
The title intrigues me. The story seems to be about someone who is feeling demoralized and depressed. I’d love to learn what turned his day from down to extraordinary.

i love christian fiction. My sister in law introduced me to this genre a few years ago and now i’m totally hooked what a great giveaway
I would like to read this book. I like to read about characters who are having internal conflicts and meeting a stranger makes this story very interesting. I guess at some level we canrelate to this character. garrettsambo@aol.com
Sounds angsty. I used to love fast paced adventure books, but lately I’m getting into character growth. This sounds like just the thing!
I would like to give her ARC copy a try! Please enter my name in your drawing. I appreciate it very much. Thanks, Cindi
I am a subscriber to your site. Again, thanks! Cindi
Why was his day extraordinary. I have to know
