Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to read my preview of the upcoming Renaissance Fine Leather edition of the TNIV Reference Bible. If you’ve been coveting one of these Bibles, first go and repent for coveting. After that, you can get excited about the possibility of getting one of these Bibles absolutely FREE.

That’s right--Zondervan has offered to give away ten copies of the Renaissance Fine Leather TNIV Reference Bible (a combined retail value of nearly $1,000) to ten qualifying individuals. What must you do to qualify?

1. You must be a “Gatekeeper.” What’s a gatekeeper? A gatekeeper in this context is someone who regularly preaches or teaches the Bible in a church or educational setting. For the purposes of this giveaway, if you are a pastor, other minister or teacher of adults and you instruct from the Bible on at least a weekly basis, you are considered a gatekeeper. You should also have been in this position for at least three months.
2. You must already use the TNIV as your primary Bible. This is a really nice edition of the TNIV Reference Bible, and Zondervan is being very generous to give these away through This Lamp. So, this is a Bible that’s meant to be used, not one that becomes an addition to your collection of translations.
3. In the comments of this post, tell us why you are using the TNIV translation as your primary teaching and/or preaching translation. We’re looking for at least a couple of paragraphs here, not “Because I think it’s really cool.”
4. Qualifying winners agree to a follow-up email interview regarding the use of the TNIV in your ministry. Between now and November, I’ll contact you with a few questions based on your post here in the comments. That interview will become the basis of an actual main post here on This Lamp.
5. You cannot qualify if you’ve already been deemed a recipient of the similar giveaway on TC Robinson’s website. No double-dipping! And TC emailed me his list of winners!
6. Sadly, United States residents only.

If you think you’re the right person to preach or teach from one of these high-quality TNIV Bibles, by all means leave your post in the comments. We’re not even looking for the ten best here, just the first ten qualifying. Be certain to leave your email address when you post your comment so that I can email you for your mailing address later and then pass it on to Zondervan.

If you have any questions, let me know. I’ll post a list of the ten winners once it is finalized.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS OFFER HAS NOW ENDED. TEN WINNERS HAVE QUALIFIED.
