About a month ago, we announced a little contest around Jana Reiss’ excellent book, Flunking Sainthood. We’re pleased to announce the winners:
#1: MaryBeth Harper
#2: Brittany Aurelia Morin-Mezzadri
#3: LessonNumberOne
All of the entries were interesting and enlightening — thanks for participating! Winners, please contact Jana Reiss via Facebook to coordinate receiving your copy of Flunking Sainthood.
Any chance we’ll get to read the winners’ essays?

That’s sort of up to Jana, but I’m in favor.
oh, and by the way — the eBook version of Flunking Sainthood is $1.99 today. Sort of an amazing deal.. http://www.amazon.com/Flunking-Sainthood-Breaking-Forgetting-ebook/dp/B005PFV1HG/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2
Here is a link to mine. My two year old daughter died in January 2005 and a few years later I was asked to talk about how well, or in this case, how poorly, the Relief Society handled the aftermath. I blogged about it – Death 101.

MaryBeth – I love your post! I think it’s important to teach each other how to handle with care. Sometimes, we need a little guidance. Thank you for your words!
