To help get the word out about the message of this book (which Richard J. Foster of Celebration of Discipline calls "one of the finest books on discernment and divine guidance that I have seen in a very long time."), I'm sponsoring a contest. It's an open call to any blogger to send me 5-10 questions about Sacred Compass. I will answer each one individually -- a sort of virtual interview. The virtual interview judged best by an independent, non-biased judge (my wife Nancy who has never read a blog until now but knows good questions when she sees them) will win a signed copy of the book and a gourmet assortment of goodies from The Best Chocolate in Town (my favorite chocolate place!).
A picture of the book jacket, blurbs by others, and photos of me are available for the asking. Questions for the virtual interview will be accepted through April 19th and the virtual interview must be posted by May 1 on the blogger's blog (is that redundant?). Entries will be judged by May 11 (my birthday!) and the winner announced to great acclaim on May 12. Send interview questions (along w/ a link to your blog) to brentbil@sbcglobal.net Visit http://www.brentbill.com/ for information about me.
Let the contest begin!

I love blog contests.
Well, then, I hope you'll enter (even though you already have the book!). Tell all your bloggin' friends (unless you want to narrow the field and increase your chances!) ;-)
Sounds good, I'm pretty sure I could come up with a few questions.
I will begin discerning some good questions! This is a book that I have been planning to obtain multiple copies of anyway, as it is the sort of book I like to share!
That's great, Shawna and Wess. I look forward to good guestions from you two sharp minds! Yay!
We're off and running w/ the contest. Wess Daniels is first up at http://gatheringinlight.com/2008/04/11/interview-with-sacred-compass-author-brent-bill/#more-950
I feel sorry for your cat and dog. Please let them enter.
Trust me, Jez, you wouldn't want to see the questions by the cats or my dog. The cats are really snarky (especially if I haven't given them canned cat food) -- they have the worst of my sarcasm gene. And the dog -- well, let's just say that while she's big and white and lovable, she wasn't the highest iq pup in the litter.
