In honor of Black Friday I thought it would be fitting today to let you know about a great deal. My friend Tiffany Thurston just released her second EP, a snapshot of what you can expect from her full-length album to be released in 2012, and I’m so excited for you guys to check it out. In addition to touring throughout the year with Women of Faith and Natalie Grant, Tiffany is one of the amazing worship leaders at Cross Point and we’re so lucky to know her.
Tiffany’s spirit for Christ is evident in everything she does and there’s no mistaking what she seeks in this life; for Jesus’ name to be made bigger and brighter. Tiffany is a super talented songwriter and artist originally from Hawaii and I highly encourage you today to get in on this treat. Snag copies for yourself, friends and loved ones this Christmas. At $2.97 you really can’t beat it.
Today only, I’m giving away 5 free digital copies along with, thanks to Tiffany’s generosity, 5 free Hello Somebody watches tying into the theme of one of her tunes called “Wake Up.”
If you’re not familiar with Hello Somebody, they’re a great organization literally changing hundreds of lives every day through their mission to feed and educate children in order to break the cycle of hunger and poverty within their generation. When you purchase a Hello Somebody product you invest directly into the lives of these children and this mission. They also have a couple of way cool Black Friday package deals you can check out here.
If you’d like to be included in the drawing leave your name and where you’re from in the comments and let us know if you braved the Black Friday crowds or decided to stay away from the madness!






Tracey P, Mooringsport LA. I did not brave Black Friday. Staying home where it’s warm & cozy!
Becky Jo
Chesterfield MI
And no, there is nothing I need that bad. I am a wimp, I admit it!!
Amy Bennett…at home in Fort Mill, SC enjoying the heat and a homemade biscuit
No Black Friday crowd surfing for me. Headed to the countryside on my motorcycle instead. Cyber Monday is more my style.
Jon Fish, Ottawa, ON and I did not brave the Black Friday crowds BUT my wife is planning for us to join the madness next year. (It will take me a year’s worth of praying to be ready for that!!)
Andy Depuy Nashville Tn. at home,
We stayed home this year. With a newborn, sleep is a precious commodity and even a good sale doesn’t compare!
Congratulations, Tiffany. You best not put me in the draw as the digital files on my mac are a little…ah…unreliable. I’d be super irritated if I won a pioneering EP and then it became corrupted, denying someone else of a listen.
Yes. Christmas shopping. I must do that. Black Friday is so wonderfully descriptive.
Tracy from Chicago, and I ran out to Old Navy for about 15 minutes in and out to get some growing kids new jeans.
Christina BC Canada.. not braving black friday, working instead

Please include me in the giveaway. My girls & I love Tiffany Thurston’s music & spirit. Such a sweet person. Have seen & heard her at WoF, The Revolve Tour and on tour with Natalie. Praying God’s best to her. Your church is very blessed to have her on staff!! NO, I chose to not get stuck in the madness of Black Friday. Thankful to just be home as last year I was at the hospital with my daughter as she had surgery:(
BTW..from Ohio

I decided to do my black Friday shopping online this year. Most sites that have physcial stores the same deals and even have free shipping! Also, there isn’t always sales tax.
No Black Friday for me! Just great breakfast, napping, and movie time with the family. We don’t need anything.

I’m Becca, and I live in Highland Village, TX (north Dallas suburbs). I’m focusing this year on want vs. need…so for the first time in years, I slept in on Black Friday!
Bobbie Gustafson, Story City, IA. Every time I shop Black Friday, by the time Christmas arrives I wish I would have purchased other items for family and friends. So, this year, we’ve stayed home. Music’s playing and decorating is in progress. The new Christmas music in Air1′s line up has been great!
Slept in, had coffee and leftover sweet potato casserole for breakfast, no lines since I was the only one up. A perfect black Friday.
Elaine, Nashvegas, Shopping today? Heck no!
Thanks for the information on Hello Somebody.I need some more ideas if you have any to share. My plan this year in shopping is to buy gifts that “pays it forward”. This was a great one to use. If you have some more thoughts on it, please e-mail me the web sites. Hope you and the family have a wonderful holiday, and give my love to Brandi and the boys.
At Myrtle Beach, SC spending the Thanksgiving holidays with my family.
Heard about people be stomped on, maced, and even shot. I am really not into that kind of thing, so I stayed home and ate leftovers.
