Winner of Book Announced

Christmas is a time for giving and receiving.

We have a winner of the promised Christmas Day drawing! I'm happy to announce that Linda Christ has won an autographed free copy of The Relief of Imperfection: For Women Who Try Too Hard to Make It Just Right. Congratulations, Linda.

On December 14, 2007 I sent out an email blast to 100 people announcing the upcoming release of my new book, The Relief of Imperfection. In that email blast, I invited folks to sign up for a free book by going to http://www.reliefofimperfection.com/ and sending me an email. Several did just that.

On Christmas Day, I chose a winner from the entries. Linda Christ of Chandler, Arizona won a copy of "Relief." I hope you enjoy reading your new book, Linda.

Merry Christmas Relief!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Author Joan Webb (right top) introduces you to Papa Richard sitting in the middle holding skirming Lesia and Luke. Son Rich and Annie are in front of Joan. Mommy Annie holding one-year old Sam (hey look at the camera, Kid!)

Annika (dressed as Hannah Montana) sits in front of Uncle Rich. On the left: Adam and our daughter Lynnette with Kirsten in front. Max peeks over Aunt Lynnette's shoulder. (Lynnette and Adam have the 3 girls. Rich and Anne have the three boys! How fun!)

Great Grandpa Pressler snapped this picture right before we opened all the gifts on Dec. 16. We celebrated Christmas early.

We all say, "Happy Birthday, Jesus. You're the best gift of all! Ever. We're glad you came as a baby long ago and then grew up to live, love, and die for us."

God gave us that first Christmas gift: Jesus. Grandma Joan writes in her new book, The Relief of Imperfection, "God sent His flawless Son, Jesus, as His exact representation into my imperfect surroundings in order to reconnect me to Himself, the omnipotent Creator and heavenly Father. Such a costly solution to the gap problem between God and me! God might have gotten very pushy about it, yet He treats you and me--His Human creations--with such incredible respect that instead He allows us to decide whether we want to accept His reconciliation proposal. . . . The key to knowing God personally is to simply stop refusing Him."

Give yourself a special gift this Christmas. Talk to God. Make a spiritual connection that you'll never regret. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

NEW BOOK COMING JANUARY 2008!

Hi! I'm Joan and I'm excited about my new book release. The Relief of Imperfection: For Women Who Try Too Hard to Make It Just Right hits bookstore shelves on January 2, 2008.

So go to http://www.reliefofimperfection.com/ starter page for more information about this new book to be released by Regal Books (Gospel Light.) Here's a look at the new book cover.

I'll post more later.

The Relief of Imperfection Book Flyer

A few days ago I received this Relief of Imperfection (ROI) flyer from my publishing house, Regal Books. I'm going to post it here. Hope you can read it.

Website Imperfection = Frustration!

Talk about imperfection! For the last six days I've been trying to create a new joancwebb.com website. I already have a website out in cyberspace (http://www.joancwebb.com/) but it's outdated and I wanted an updated one before The Relief of Imperfection releases January 2.

Yet it has been nothing but six mornings and nights of frustration--one delay after another. So, I just gave up on the website design (well, for the moment) and decided to check out blogger.com where my son Rich assured me, "It is easy, Mom!"

Well, guess what? He's right. I was able to upload the Relief of Imperfection book cover and flyer within seconds and I've been trying to post them both into my new website for days. Yes, I said days. What's up with that?

Well, finally I have a little "relief." And I'm smiling here. More later. Joan C. Webb signing off.
