Now raise your hand if you’d like to win free money for doing practically nothing, besides reading my book.

If your hand is still up, congratulations!  You’re in luck!

I’m giving away three $20 Amazon gift cards and all you need to do to be eligible is leave a review for my book on Amazon sometime between now and Tuesday, June 19.

It doesn’t get much easier than that!

It’s now been eight months since the release of “WHATEVER, GOD” and thankfully God has blessed it more than I could've expected.  More than 4,500 copies have been sold – not counting audiobooks – and orders are still coming in daily!  Thanks be to God!

But despite the book’s success, it’s my goal to get the book into the hands of as many people as possible.  Why?  Because I believe in the power of the message. 

I believe that this book has the power to bring people into deeper fellowship with their Heavenly Father.  I believe it can help people take a step closer to His plan for their lives. I also believe that it has the potential to open people’s eyes to our beautiful Orthodox Christian faith and see that we’re not that strange after all.

And because of that, I need YOUR HELP to spread the word even more!  How can you help?  

#1: BUY COPIES TO GIVE AS PRESENTS

When we first starting selling the book at my church, I told our congregation, “No one is allowed to buy just one.  You need to buy one for yourself and one for a friend.”  

I wrote the book primarily to be an evangelism tool.  It’s a lot easier to give someone a book (“hey, I know the guy who wrote this.  I think you’d enjoy it a lot) vs trying to initiate a spiritual conversation (“hey, you know I think you’re a heathen, but let me tell you how great my church is).

So I hope you’re not content just to enjoy the book and keep it to yourself.  If you like what you read, consider buying another copy (or two or three or 12) and giving it to a friend, a colleague, or a neighbor – someone who needs to hear what it has to say.

#2: LEAVE A REVIEW ONLINE

The more reviews a book gets, the more Amazon sees it as a winner and recommends it to other shoppers.  And when that happens, the book is that much more likely to get into the hands of someone who needs it.  

As of this morning, there are 82 reviews on Amazon.  That’s great and I appreciate every one of them, but by my math, that leaves more than 4400 people who have read the book HAVE NOT left a review.  

So if that’s you, I’m kindly asking you to take one minute to go online and write an honest review for my book.  Then, simply take a screenshot of your review and post it on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #WhateverGod.  

I’ll then enter your name into a drawing to win a $20 Amazon gift card.  

That’s it.  That’s all you have to do.  Write a review, post it online and you’ll automatically be entered to win the prize. 

Three winners will be selected randomly from among all reviews submitted between June 13-19 and announced next Wednesday on my blog.  

So what are you waiting for?  Go online and submit your review.  You could win a $20 Amazon gift card and, more importantly, you might help get this book into the hands of someone who really needs it.

Not your typical "Christian" book!

If you want to understand God better, this book can help. As I read this book I laughed, I cried, and I laughed some more. In this book, Father Anthony sheds light on the depth and implications of God's love for us. He shatters through many misconceptions of God-- and he does so in very relatable ways.

Oh-- and the author even GIVES away the ancient, secret formula for success (5+2=5000).

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and will be recommending this to all of my friends.

Father Anthony has provides his readers with a refreshing take on Christianity. Beyond the typical "call to faith" that most Christian literature presents Whatever, God presents a faith based life with boldness and unusual reliability. For anyone who's seeking a push to restart your walk with Christ, this book is surely a good fit!

Father Anthony Messeh is incredibly gifted to be able to explain the fundamentals of establishing a relationship with God in a very simple manner. The book delves into seemingly complex topics such as repentance, faith, prayer etc. and is able to elucidate them in a manner that makes logical ( and divine) sense. A light read in a genre which is full of complicated theology.

This Book changed my own perspective of everything I have been taught. Absolutely worth it. Loved it!

I was captivated by how simple this book was to read & yet how powerful & profoundly insightful this book was at the same time. As soon as I got it I couldn't stop reading. Father Anthony has a way of putting an interesting twist & using clever analogies with humor to boot. This book hit a home run for me.

Father Anthony seems like a priest one can relate to & does not use pretenses and lots of verbiage. He shares his personal story with authenticity & comes across as very down to earth. He encouraged me to step outside the box from some mainstream ideas while still keeping tradition.

I'm not Coptic Orthodox (I'm Baptist) but absolutely feel this book is universally applicable & helpful no matter what your faith is. He wants to show us how to have a deep & close personal relationship with God (not just going through the motions). Father Anthony reminds us that God is never too far, there is always hope & a personal relationship with God is a joyful one. I hope one day I can be as passionate & all-in as him.

Fr. Anthony is a master story-teller. I’ve been listening to him on YouTube and Podcasts for several years. I was immediately captured in the introduction when he shared the conversation with his soon to be wife, Marianne in a book store coffee shop; “That’s how we’re going to live our lives. WHATEVER. Whatever God wants—we won’t say no. No matter what He asks of us, we will do it. No matter where He takes us or what He asks of us, we’ll do WHATEVER. Deal?” “Deal!” she said as we both realized the magnitude of what had just happened.

Fr. Anthony blends personal experiences, scripture and the wisdom of ancient Christianity into a well thought out story. I’m about half way through the book at this point and I find myself chuckling as I turn the pages. If you want to enjoy a book while exploring how you can “Rediscover The One…” I highly recommend you read, “Whatever, God” by Fr. Anthony Messeh.
