Thanks for posting this – what a great freebie!!

Esther February 20, 2010 at 2:27 pm

What is the reason for them wanting a photo of my family?

They will not accept you unless you post one. I’m not too sure about that but thanks for the offer.

Crystal February 20, 2010 at 3:23 pm

I think it’s for the review, but I’m not entirely sure. Anyone else have a better idea? I thought it was a little odd, too.

Michelle February 20, 2010 at 3:59 pm

@Crystal,

The reason they want the picture is stated in the rules…..

By participating in this Promotion, entrants accept and agree to be bound by these Official Rules, Zondervan’s determination of the first 5,000 entrants, which shall be final, and waive any right to claim ambiguity in these Official Rules.

Acceptance of a BMB(Busy Moms Bible) constitutes permission to use the recipient’s name, likeness, and biography for purposes of advertising, promotion and publicity without additional compensation, except where prohibited by law.

Crystal February 20, 2010 at 4:03 pm

Thanks, Michelle!

Jill February 20, 2010 at 2:40 pm

It seems you have to upload a family picture in order to “complete” the entry form, which seems very odd to me. Not really comfortable with that…would have loved to get this otherwise.

jane February 20, 2010 at 2:43 pm

fyi- you have to upload a photo of your family and agree to do a review of the product

Suzann February 20, 2010 at 2:58 pm

Wow! Thanks for this one – I’m excited to get it!

Heather F February 20, 2010 at 3:07 pm

Sign me up, please!

Terri Dufrene February 20, 2010 at 3:09 pm

How do we get the the Busy Mom’s Bible???

Half-Assed Housewife February 20, 2010 at 3:18 pm

Thank you! I have been having to borrow my kids bible!

Beth H. February 20, 2010 at 3:24 pm

Thanks so much!!! I can’t wait to read it! ;)

jennifer February 20, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Thanks so much! I can’t wait!

Dawn February 20, 2010 at 3:52 pm

It says residents of New York and Florida not eligible – Oh well!

Rachel February 20, 2010 at 4:09 pm

@Dawn, To Dawn, as I understand it, you cannot enter the competition for the personal assistant (which you do by reviewing) but they did accept my submission for the free Bible (I’m in FL) perhaps I am mistaken though

amanda harker February 20, 2010 at 3:54 pm

I am excited! Uploading a family photo isn’t my favorite, but a daily devotional is cool.

Emmi February 20, 2010 at 4:00 pm

I’m like everyone else and a little wary about uploading the photo but it looks like a really cool bible!

Kelly February 20, 2010 at 4:03 pm

I chose a photo that wasn’t a direct shot of our faces. I thought I would be compliant yet discreet.

Jen February 20, 2010 at 4:38 pm

@Kelly,
Me too :-)

Cris February 20, 2010 at 6:07 pm

@Jen,

Me too. I used a wedding photo of me and my hubbies backs…I don’t like putting my children’s pics online. =D Hope it works!

Michelle February 20, 2010 at 4:04 pm

I signed up and it stated that after verifying my information, the bible would be on its way. I didn’t have a problem putting my picture in it because I will be honest when I review the product just like any other survey I do. Thanks for letting me know about this promotion because I have always struggled with getting my bible reading in my daily tasks.

Emmi February 20, 2010 at 4:10 pm

I just found this article about the bible. I hope it helps with verifying that is should be okay to upload the pics. It sounds legit.

Rachel Knox February 20, 2010 at 4:18 pm

I signed up this freebie! Will I have to write a review on my blog about it or is that only if I want to enter the personal assistance service sweepstakes? I planned on giving this bible away since I am not yet a mom. The picture thing bothers me a little, but it is a picture that I already had put on my blog, so it’s not like it isn’t already out there for others to see.

Sarah February 20, 2010 at 4:26 pm

Thanks! A lot of my family pics are public on facebook anyway so I don’t see what the big deal is. I don’t have a problem if a Bible publisher wants to use my pic in their advertising.

Kamber February 20, 2010 at 4:27 pm

yeah I agree.. I thought it was odd that they wanted a pic of my family.. but I went ahead and uploaded one anyway.. hope that wasn’t the wrong choice.. surely it will be ok.. did anyone else upload one of their families?

Sarah February 20, 2010 at 11:32 pm

@Kamber, I put in a pic of my son from when he was 4 or 5 months old, so he looks nothing like that now. I figured that would be okay.

Leigh February 20, 2010 at 4:34 pm

It accepted my registration without uploading a photo.

Kelly February 20, 2010 at 5:08 pm

just upload a photo of a misc. family pic from the internet (I did a google search…)

KeriLyn@SheSaved February 20, 2010 at 5:14 pm

I uploaded a photo of us all in our ski gear… so even though it is still my family, we cannot be identified, lol! thanks for the great find, linked back to you!

sandy February 20, 2010 at 5:17 pm

I did not have to upload a photo. But I filled this out from my phone, so I couldn’t upload on anyways. I got accepted just fine, and saw no issues with my being in NY either.

Jillian February 20, 2010 at 5:18 pm

Thanks for the freebie tip!
I uploaded a Halloween family pic! Counts, right? LOL

niki February 20, 2010 at 5:39 pm

As a Christian mother and teacher I will just say that Zondervan (the maker of this particular bible) is an incredible company. Our family buys a ton of devotional items and books from them. As an educator I have purchased a great deal of materials by the company and have even received free items from them before. They are a huge company with a Christian background, not some strange fly by night website. I completely trust them!

:)

Chelsea February 20, 2010 at 8:43 pm

I uploaded a family photo, the way I see it, if my family can be used to promote the word of God, then so be it! And if they do anything shady with the photos… well let’s just say I’m leaving it in God’s hands, I just hope to gain something from the awesome blessing of this free bible! I hope to be able to use this tool and share it with other busy moms I know! :)

Sarah February 20, 2010 at 8:45 pm

It wouldn’t let me register without the photo, but I just got a new computer and don’t have any pics on there yet, so I just put a preloaded photo from the computer of a group of penguins. If they don’t accept it, oh well. Not that desperate.

debbie lynne February 20, 2010 at 8:55 pm

Thanks, I hope I’m one of the first 5000!

Laura February 20, 2010 at 9:01 pm

I got mine today! It’s lovely! I highly recommend signing up for this one!

Sara February 20, 2010 at 9:04 pm

Would love to sign up for this. I don’t feel comfortable posting a pic even if it is for advertising. Maybe I’m a private person, but seems kind of odd. Tried to register without the photo and it would not let me.

Becky LaCoste February 20, 2010 at 9:19 pm

I don’t know any moms who aren’t busy! I would love to have this!

Tracy February 20, 2010 at 11:20 pm

Thanks Crystal! I misplaced me and have been using hubby’s bible, great timing!

Tracy February 20, 2010 at 11:21 pm

@Tracy, Oops, mine not me. :)

Amanda February 21, 2010 at 12:18 am

Thank you for posting. I was not comfortable putting a picture of my family so I put one of my son covering his eye’s. I hope they accept it. It says that once they verify I will be sent a copy so we will see.

Thank you Emmi for the link. That made me more comfortable to put all of my information and try it.

Julie February 21, 2010 at 1:50 am

I did this a few weeks ago when it was offered. I just received it today and am thrilled! Very nice Bible!

Nancy Halderman February 21, 2010 at 6:53 am

Would love to give this a try. Talk about busy – mother, wife, fulltime employee and grad school student. I could use all the help I can get.
Bless you for your offer.

Sheila February 21, 2010 at 8:38 pm

Thanks Crystal for the offer! I am SUPER excited about this! I actually looked at this Bible the other day and didnt purchase it. I have already registered!!! Thanks so much!!! Love your blog!!! :)

Cecilia February 21, 2010 at 10:50 pm

I would of loved to sign up for a copy but it is not valid for Florida-Thank you anyway.

Breanna Brummer February 22, 2010 at 11:13 am

WOW! i just received my Bible in the mail today. i feel so amazed and blessed. thank you so much for posting this! i’m still in shock!

stephanie February 23, 2010 at 12:26 am

has anyone received theirs yet?

Dawn February 23, 2010 at 5:58 pm

I received mine really fast! Wrote my review already, and it goes up tomorrow. :) It’s a NICE Bible!

Bernadette Nicholson February 25, 2010 at 3:32 pm

Thank you!!!!! I love this little bible!!!! Take it to bible study. Great little
devotions and studies. Easy easy!!!

Michelle February 26, 2010 at 9:56 pm

Haven’t received mine yet… still waiting!

cheryl February 27, 2010 at 8:45 pm

I received mine yesterday (Talk about fast!)
I’m confused though, on the cardboard that was wrapped around the Bible it sounded like they wanted a review on a blog about it. I don’t have a blog; so does anyone know is there some place I should send my review?

Rebekah March 1, 2010 at 10:24 am

Just received mine in the mail a few minutes ago! Its gorgeous, I can’t wait to use it!! :) Thank you SOO much for sharing this offer!

Heidi S. March 1, 2010 at 12:42 pm

Just got it through the mail…so pretty! Thanks so much for posting this!

Kelly March 1, 2010 at 2:14 pm

Just got mine in the mail. Thanks for posting.

Kelly March 1, 2010 at 2:18 pm

Got my copy today! (3/1/10) I was very surprised that they actually sent it, and also that it arrived in under 2 weeks! WOW!

Felicia March 2, 2010 at 11:48 am

I received mine in the mail this morning. Thank you so much for posting this!

Amanda M March 2, 2010 at 12:27 pm

I just received my copy today 3/2/10! I am blown away and so excited to receive this! I JUST looked at a copy at a local store and talked myself out of it. God has a way of working doesn’t He? I too was a bit worried about posting a picture of our family, but I decided to post a picture of us dressed up in costumes! :)

Rachel Knox March 2, 2010 at 3:42 pm

I just received my Bible in the mail today! I was so excited to get it! Thank you so much for posting about this! It is such a nice Bible and will make a great gift!

Kristen March 2, 2010 at 5:35 pm

I got mine too! :) Yeah!

Christina March 2, 2010 at 7:53 pm

Just got mine in the mail, wow very fast! It’s a beautiful bible, I can’t wait to crack it open once the boys are in bed tonight. Thank you so much for posting this.

Shannon March 3, 2010 at 1:21 pm

Got mine yesterday! It really is beautiful. I believe it came at the perfect time (in my life) :)
