I’m writing this post in
absolute awe of what the Lord has done with this site.
With nearly 750 reviews,
300,000 pageviews, and thousands of followers, Books for Christian Girls is
celebrating its five-year anniversary.
To be completely honest,
I never even imagined doing this site for so long. I was 13, turning 14 soon,
when I felt called to start this ministry, and while I didn’t think I’d be doing
it for a short amount of time, I definitely didn’t image doing it this long.
Five years ago, tomorrow,
the first review was posted.
That’s some pretty
mind-blowing stuff right there.
To those reading this,
To those who have followed
BFCG since day two, today, or anywhere in between,
To those who follow our Instagram,
YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and all the other social media sites,
To those who share about
this site,
To those who have the
same Philippians 4:8 values that BFCG promotes,
THANK
YOU
Your support of Books for
Christian Girls and it’s ministry for five years now, the supportive community
that surrounds us, is an absolutely amazing thing that I don’t take for
granted.
Thank you for being here.

ReplyDeleteI have a question about the international giveaways: Will you be changing the money currency for whoever wins? I live in England and I can't use American dollars on our Amazon - only British pounds. :) Thanks!

Hi there!
DeleteThanks so much for entering! :)
That's a great question! Yes, they will be converted over to the winners' countries money system and the e-giftcards will be bought on their countries' Amazon site. I will definitely try my best to make it the easiest for the winner(s)! :)
Thanks again! :)
Have a wonderfully Blessed week!

CONGRATS! I remember when you started your YouTube channel and how awesome it was to see new book recommendations. When I first watched your book haul and unboxing video I hadn’t read any of those books, or heard it the authors, now I have read almost every single one! Thanks so much for your reviews and convincing videos! <3
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through a Goodreads review:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lindsey! You've been a great encouragement to me as an author, and I know you are a blessing to thousands of teen readers!
ReplyDeleteAwww! Thank you SO much, Miss Carrie! Your sweet words mean a lot to me! :)

Once I became active on social media I found you that way and since then I've really used your blog a lot :D Thank you!!
