The Unlikely Disciple EASTER GIVEAWAY!
While unpacking my suitcase from another trip to Liberty this weekend, I realized that I’ve accumulated a lot of LU-branded souvenirs on these Lynchburg visits. Too many, in fact. (Does a guy really need three “Team Jerry” mugs?) Which is why I’m using today, Easter Sunday, as the occasion for my first-ever blog giveaway! Hand-me-down Christian tchotchkes aren’t exactly hot-ticket items (or so says my publisher, anyway), so I dug up a few additional prizes to spice things up. The contest will run through next Sunday, April 19, at which time I’ll use a random number generator to choose the winners.
THE PRIZES:
1st Prize:
An iPod Shuffle (3rd generation) pre-loaded with my entire library of Christian music. This is the new iPod Shuffle, the one billed by Apple as “the first MP3 player that talks to you.” It holds 4 GB worth of music (about 1,000 songs), and has a brand-new VoiceOver feature that apparently speaks the name of each song as it plays. (Atheists/aesthetes: the Christian music library is optional, but some of it is actually pretty good.)- A red Liberty University pennant
- A navy blue Liberty t-shirt whose front reads “LIBERTY UNIVERSITY: Politically Incorrect Since 1971.” Great for Halloween costumes, not so great for wearing on liberal college campuses. Trust me.
- A signed Advance Reader’s Copy of THE UNLIKELY DISCIPLE. These copies, which are bound in paperback and contain a very unfortunate typo on the spine (”Diciple” instead of “Disciple”) were distributed in limited numbers to media and reviewers back in December. I only have two left, and they’re not available anywhere else.
2nd Prize: 
- An official Liberty University bottle-opener keychain. I was given one of these during my last trip to campus – they’re sold in the campus store, and have the LU logo on them. Liberty’s 46-page code of conduct outlaws alcohol of any kind, so I guess they’re meant to open…root beer? Cream soda? I’m not exactly sure. In any case, it’s the perfect hipster drinking accessory.
- A plush doll of “Sparky the Eagle,” the official mascot of the Liberty Flames. Admittedly, Sparky is a little creepy, and a bald eagle is more than a little generic as college mascots go, but the doll is soft and wears an LU t-shirt!
- A signed copy of THE UNLIKELY DISCIPLE, hardcover edition.
3rd Prize:
- A red Liberty University pennant
- A copy of the book, “Jerry Falwell: His Life and Legacy.” This book was written by Macel Falwell, Jerry’s widow, and was released in 2008. It’s a brief, uncritical look at the personal life of the father of the Christian Right.
- A signed copy of THE UNLIKELY DISCIPLE, hardcover edition.
HOW TO ENTER:
Leave your e-mail address in the comments for this post.
Also, additional entries will be given for the following good deeds.
- Spreading the word about this giveaway, either by blogging about it, re-tweeting it on Twitter, or posting it on Facebook, will get you TWO entries. Just drop me a note saying you’ve done it (we’ll go on the honor system), and I’ll enter you two more times.
- Buying a copy of THE UNLIKELY DISCIPLE on Amazon (or, maybe given this weekend’s #Amazonfail flap, on BN.com or Borders.com or Powells.com) and e-mailing a copy of your receipt (dated today or later) to kevin@kevinroose.com will get you FIVE entries. Photos/scans/etc. of receipts from offline stores will work, too, but only for purchases made from today until April 19.
- And since some of you probably already have your copies, writing a review of THE UNLIKELY DISCIPLE on either Amazon or BN.com will also get you FIVE entries.
Thanks, guys, and good luck! I have a lot more Christian crap left, so hopefully we’ll do another one of these before too long.
Retweeting it now!

Kevin,
Bought the book a few weeks ago. Read it and loved it!! Having been a Christian for over 25 years, I can say that I have enough of my own Jesus Junk, but thanks for the thought!!
I’ll be sure to re-post this and Twitter it for you though!!
Any word on making this a movie? Would make a great film…the concept is amazing and the “characters” you met are perfect!! I have “known” almost all of them at some point in my walk of faith!!
Hey–one question though…what did become of “Anna”? Did you guys finally get together…or just fade apart?

Yay contest! I want that ipod shuffle. Here’s my Amazon review:
I can’t believe this book was written by such a young man. Roose’s insight and wisdom greatly belie his 19 years. This was THE BEST non-fiction book I have ever read. It is honest, profound, hilarious, humble, and truly fascinating. My favorite part, you ask? Roose juxtaposes a discussion of how prayer enriches his life with the prayerful reactions of Liberty students to the Virginia Tech massacre. A brilliant pairing of honest introspection and astute observation. I LOVED THIS BOOK!
— Johanna
April 12, 2009, 11:35 pm
Hey, I’d love to be entered. Winning the Shuffle would be nice, and winning the Liberty swag would be hilariously ironic (good Orthodox Jewish girl here).
I mentioned the contest and posted a link in my LiveJournal.
I enjoyed the book (bought it last week, so no extra contest entries for me) and hope you’ll be doing a proper book tour with a stop in NYC.

Sorry, I want to edit my comment above: I probably should have written “I’d love to be entered *into the contest*” Let there be no thought that I was aiming for any double entendre. I didn’t catch the ambiguity until after I submitted my comment. Ouch.
Since I’m editing anyway, I might as well also add in that you should thank A.J. Jacobs. I hadn’t heard about your book until he posted about it on Facebook. I went out and bought it and have been recommending it to friends.

Oh my word, I want to read your book so bad and I’m sure my ultra-conservative town won’t get it for the library and money is tight. I totally have plenty of Christian music, so I’m in for that more than the iPod. — I spent six semesters with Jesus — 2 in high school and 4 in college. Oy vey! I was also top Bible quizzer in my state in high school. A state school was SUCH a much better fit for me. And I didn’t have curfew! LOL!
Here’s a tune I bet isn’t in that iPod:
Happy birthday to you
Only one will not do
Born again means salvation
How many have you?

Can’t wait to read your book. I am Liberty grad who was initially skeptical of the college. I decided to attend as I was offered a great scholarship and thought I would just test it out for a semester. To my surprise, I ended up loving my experience and ended up being a Liberty grad.

Hi Kevin,
I just finished your book as a marathon read on my Kindle.
I’m 64 and it brought me back to my college days. I went to an Ivy League school, but they had social rules not much different than Liberty’s for the girls!
Your account was fascinating, and I am recommending it to my family and friends. Thanks.
