GIVEAWAY SATURDAYWe're all ready for some good news, for an end to the deluge of tales of rising unemployment, decreasing home prices, and other economic woes. The latest Chicken Soup for the Soul title is filled with optimistic tales that will give us a much-needed dose of optimism. Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People
is filled with 101 stories about overcoming the economic crisis and other challenges. The book is organized into different sections entitled Simple Pleasures, Family Ties, the Power of Positive Thinking, Accepting the New Me, Fired, With a Little Help from my Friends, Tough People, For Richer or Poorer, Grief and Healing, and and Ten Bonus Stories of Faith. My favorite essay was Bank Owned, a moving tale by Amber Garza about having her home foreclosed by the bank. In these difficult times, it's easy to feel like everything is going against you, but this Chicken Soup for the Soul title helps to put things in perspective by sharing stories of triumph over adversity.
I have three copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People for giveaway today. To enter to win, just leave a comment here by Friday, July 31. I'll select the winners at random that night. As usual, you can get extra chances to win by:
- linking to this contest on your blog,

Everytime I think I am getting ahead I have to endure more problems. I know what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger but I will love a short time without stress and worry. I lost custody of my daughter when she was five (to my parents) because of my alcoholism. I was in two physically abusive marriages. I had to give up my second daughter for adoption. I finally got sober and moved near my first daughter two years ago with 10 years sobriety and thought life was getting better. Then I was laid off work from the first job I got when I moved. I was laid off for over a year before I found a new job just last week. I went through seven thousand dollars (my entire savings) while laid off, my unemployment ran out, and now I am looking at being homeless in August because I don’t have the money for August rent. I really really really really need to read this book. Please pick me.
I'd really like to win this for my grandma. Thanks!

Like so many others, I've been undergoing a particular rough patch the last year or so, and it hasn't broken me (yet lol) but I could sure use the inspiration of other strong souls and hopefully gain further strength from their wisdom!

I love the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. If I am chosen a winner, I would give this book to my daughter for inspiration. Her husband recently lost his job.
Chicken Soup for the Soul just may help see me through these tough times. Suicides have becoming alarmingly common in the motor city.
