Enter our second annual reading contest!

Year after year, the annual reading issue remains one of our most popular features, with members of the Messiah College community recommending their favorite books—whether revisiting an old classic or discovering a new gem. This year, to complement the recommendations, we’ve decided to go one step further—we’re giving books away!

Enter to win one of our three collections: the Social Commentary, Nonfiction Sampler, or Fiction Packages. Below you will find a list of the books included in each package. In cases when a book series, or the newest book in a series, was recommended, we have included the first book for that series to get you started.

The contest is simple to enter. Choose the package(s) you would like to win and fill in your name and e-mail address.

Entries must be received by June 15 , 2006 . Winners will be notified via e-mail by June 19 , 2006 .
