Chesterton, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, Oscar Romero, Dorothy Day, and Catherine de Hueck Doherty. (Hardbound, 590 pages, $24.99 retail value.)

How to win: Be the 10th person… If you are not already receiving the Spiritual Drawing Board (this blog) in your email each week, simply enter your e-mail address in the e-mail subscription box at the right, confirm your subscription with WordPress when the confirmation e-mail arrives, and the 10th person to sign up from the time I post this message will receive this book, Common Prayer, free… read on for details…

Fine print: Winner must not have previously signed up to receive this blog in his/her email, and must live in the United States (due to mailing costs and legal matters), and must supply his or her true name, address, and phone number at the time of winning so that the book may be mailed. Those under the age of 18 are allowed to sign up and win if their parents give them permission. One e-mail address per person. Sorry, relatives of Terry McCarty and Julie McCarty are not allowed to win (but you can sign up to receive the blog posts). Offer void where prohibited by law.

[Added later: Contest deadline: June 30, 2011.]

Don’t worry: I do not give out e-mails to businesses or others.

Good luck! Tell your friends & family, your minister, and your parish staff about the free spiritual reflections at the Spiritual Drawing Board… and, as Jesus said, Peace be with you.
