It’s that time of the year again: The Quarterly Bloggy Giveaway Week.
I write an online column for God’s World News, a current events news magazine for kids that provides commentary on current news from a biblical perspective. There are a lot of great resources available on the God’s World News website, but even more important is the print version that comes right to your door. These magazines are great resources for your kids – homeschooled, Christian schooled, or public schooled. No matter your educational decision, this is a great tool for engaging with your children and the news.
The magazines are published once a month for the length of the school year with a separate summer subscription available. There are four levels of the magazine: Early Edition, Taking Off, News Current, and Top Story.
For this giveaway, we’re offering four school year subscriptions. This means your subscription will finish out this school year and pick up again next September for 9 month’s worth of God’s World News.
You can enter this giveaway three ways:
- Get one entry by leaving a comment below along with the God’s World News level you are most interested in receiving.
- Get a second entry by looking at the God’s World News website. Come back here and leave a comment telling which online resource you would use the most. Again, tell which magazine level you are most interested in receiving.
- Get a third entry by blogging about this contest on your own site. You will have to come back here and leave another comment letting me know you linked and again, tell me which level you want.
Comments for this contest will close on Thursday, October 30 at 10pm. Winners will be announced soon after.
Easy peasy, rice and cheesy.
Thanks for entering!
Thursday, October 30 10:00pm – The comments are now closed. Winners will be announced shortly.

One of my kids got this in her class last year. It is a great magazine! I would love to have it at home.
October 27, 2008 at 7:34 am
Our Girlie is in Jr. High so I think Top Story would be best for her.
Thanks for the giveaway!
October 27, 2008 at 7:45 am
What a great giveaway!
We’d need the Pre-K/1st edition.
And I believe I’d come back to their website for their Homeschool Resources links!
Thanks again!

What a great giveaway! We get World magazine and my son *used to* get God’s World News through his school, but they stopped.
We’d be interested in the News Current version. Thanks!
October 27, 2008 at 8:01 am
My boys (I have 4 of them) would love this…each of my children are on a different level…Hmmm…I would probably go for the Early Edition.
October 27, 2008 at 8:19 am
I love God’s World, but neglected to subscribe this school year…kept putting it off! I’d love to win the Top Story subscription! Thanks for the chance.
October 27, 2008 at 8:22 am
Interesting contest! We can always use more material to discuss as we homeschool. I’d use Taking Off with my son, thanks.
October 27, 2008 at 8:23 am
We could really enjoy the Today In History feature on the website! Thanks for a second chance for the contest (Taking Off).
October 27, 2008 at 8:24 am
I would choose Top Story. monk5@charter.net
October 27, 2008 at 8:35 am
We are most interested in Top Story. We have received sample issues in the past and enjoyed it.
October 27, 2008 at 8:37 am
I’d like the Pre-K through 1st. This is a really neat magazine. What a great idea. We’ve been having a lot of current event talks because of all the election coverage. I’d love to have this for my son.
October 27, 2008 at 8:40 am
I had never heard of this magazine before! It looks wonderful! I would choose the PreK- 1st
Thank you for the giveaway!

I homeschool my 2 (well, I have 3 but the baby is only 2 months old) I think we could do well with “Taking Off”
October 27, 2008 at 8:47 am
Sounds like a great mag for my kids! Thanks & count me in!
October 27, 2008 at 8:54 am
We would be interested in the Early Edition!
October 27, 2008 at 8:59 am
We could use the early education edition.
bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
October 27, 2008 at 8:59 am
Top Stories would be the choice for our homeschool
October 27, 2008 at 9:00 am
My girls used to read this at their Christian school. Now they are in a public school, but I’d love to enter to winthis for them so they could still get it and read it at home!
On another note, I am looking for some freelance columnist positions. If this newsletter ever offers anything where I could write on media influences on girls and put things in perspective for young girls – I’d be interested.
October 27, 2008 at 9:01 am
We would love the News Current edition. Fabulous giveaway!
October 27, 2008 at 9:18 am
We would like the Early Edition…thanks!
October 27, 2008 at 9:24 am
My little girls (4&3) would LOVE Early Edition.
October 27, 2008 at 9:31 am
Taking Off would be perfect for my 3rd grader.
October 27, 2008 at 9:52 am
taking off is the level i would choose. thanx!
October 27, 2008 at 10:04 am
My homeschooled first grader would love those!
Thanks for participating.
October 27, 2008 at 10:08 am
I actually never heard of this magazine, but I’d be interested in reading it!
October 27, 2008 at 10:11 am
Taking Off would be perfect for my son! Thank you for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!
October 27, 2008 at 10:18 am
Great giveaway, I love this resource. I would be most interested in the Top Story level for my family.
Thanks,
Kathy
bigfamily8 (at) yahoo (dot) com
October 27, 2008 at 10:21 am
I’d like the Top Story level for my family.
The online resource that I think we could use the most is the Explain It section in the library/archive area. Thanks
October 27, 2008 at 10:28 am
We are homeschooling for the first time this year, and would love to win the youngest subscription! Thanks!
October 27, 2008 at 10:28 am
I’d be interested in the News Current (4th-5th grade level) for my son.
October 27, 2008 at 10:35 am
We have had God world before but havent gotten a chance this year to order. The older children like the newspaper but the younger ones I think would be good with New Current.

Thank you for introducing me to such a Great Site!
My DD’s would benefit most from the News Current is written for students in 4th and 5th grades.
Thank You!
October 27, 2008 at 10:47 am
What a great magazine in a world of, well, crud.
October 27, 2008 at 10:48 am
My husband and I are both history geeks- I would totally use “This Day In History”, well, daily! Thanks for showing me this great resource!
October 27, 2008 at 11:00 am
The Taking Off Edition. Thanks for this giveaway.
October 27, 2008 at 11:05 am
Great giveaway! We’d be interested in the Top Story level for my sixth-grader who is very interested in current events and politics. It would make a great addition to our homeschool.
October 27, 2008 at 11:13 am
top story mrs.mommyyatgmail.com
October 27, 2008 at 11:16 am
Early edition. I like the teacher resources on the website.
ruthkerri (at) yahoo.com
October 27, 2008 at 11:20 am
Early Edition. I homeschool and I wanted to subscribe to this but it just didn’t fit into the budget. This is a great give-away.
October 27, 2008 at 11:27 am
We would use the middle school option.
October 27, 2008 at 11:43 am
i have never heard of this mag before. now I am really intrested.

October 27, 2008 at 11:52 am
We are most interested in Top Story. Thanks for the giveaway.

October 27, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I’m interested in Top Story – Our homeschool co-op was doing a group subscription on these at the beginning of the school year – but I missed the boat – so winning a year would be great!
October 27, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I would want Top Story. I’ve wanted to get a subscription for some time now, but it seems that the money runs out too quickly. This would be a wonderful resource to win for our homeschool! Thanks!
October 27, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Wow! Just one resource that I would use? I doubt I could narrow it down that far. The Topics & Goals in the teacher section would be very helpful. The Archive & Library section looks awesome. My youngest son would LOVE perusing and researching this area. Thanks again!
Top Story is the level I would want.
October 27, 2008 at 12:33 pm
I think News Current would be best for us. It’s between my two kids. What a cool giveaway. Glad to hear about the publication, too. I wasn’t familiar with it.
October 27, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I would use the Teacher’s resources online to help me as mom and older sister to homeschoolers. We used to get this when I was younger. I think I’d like the top story edition. Would it be okay to have it sent to my siblings. my kids are still too young.
October 27, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I’m interested in Top Story. And I would use online weekly teaching guides and resources.
serving_theKingofkings@yahoo.com
October 27, 2008 at 1:12 pm
We’re first time homeschoolers. Taking Off would be a great fit for my kids.
October 27, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I would love to enter to win either Taking Off or Top Story but beyond that thanks for sending me to the site. I will be using their Bible2life word study in the future for my kids and myself as well. I also would use the bonus pages with the subscription. Thanks!
October 27, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Hmmm – I have kids at all levels, but I think I’d go with Top Story.
Thanks for the informational giveaway.
October 27, 2008 at 1:33 pm
A friend of mine was just telling me about your magazine. Thanks for the opportunity to win. I think I would probably order the Taking Off edition.
October 27, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I just visited the God’s World News website and I’m excited about the “Just For Kids” section. I plan on showing it to my kids after school today. Thanks!
October 27, 2008 at 2:02 pm
It looks really great. Our son would be most interested in Top Story. Thank you for the giveaway.
October 27, 2008 at 2:13 pm
For my second entry:
Our son would like the Just For Kids section, especially the Today’s History as he is a real buff and the Bible devotion section too. He loves to read. In the Parent/Teacher resources, the bonus pages would be great too.
I’m bookmarking that site! Thank you for introducing us to it.
October 27, 2008 at 2:20 pm
We used to get these through our homeschool support group. My older children loved them.
I think we’d go for the Top Story edition.
October 27, 2008 at 2:26 pm
We would love to win the Taking Off Subscription.
Thanks,
Christy
October 27, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I zoomed over to the God’s World site. I would probably use the Bonus Pages online resource the most.
Thanks,
Christy
October 27, 2008 at 2:31 pm
I would like Early Edition!
October 27, 2008 at 2:33 pm
I like the teaching resources!
October 27, 2008 at 2:35 pm
This is great for using in the classroom or homeschooling. The Early Edition would be fantastic for my nephew.

We would like the Taking Off edition. I will definitely go back to their site for the homeschool resource.
October 27, 2008 at 3:45 pm
My son’s still little, so we’d go with Early Edition.
October 27, 2008 at 3:46 pm
(Early Edition reader)
I love that they have Today’s History — this date in history section. That always makes history more alive when you know it happened today!
October 27, 2008 at 3:47 pm
I don’t have kids but, if I’m still eligible, I have a family that I know would enjoy it oh so much (four boys!). Any level would be appreciated.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! I’m giving away a rhinestone cluster ring (and some more later this week!) on my blog. Feel free to come enter your name.
jennifer.lynn.vincent at gmail dot com
October 27, 2008 at 4:10 pm
this looks great and my daughter loves to read-she’ll be 7 soon, and is in First Grade so am torn between the Early Edition or Taking Off…since she reads well, I would probably choose Taking Off.
micaela6955 at msn dot com
October 27, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Would love this for my learning children! I would choose the Taking Off level! Thanks for the chance to win!
October 27, 2008 at 4:15 pm
For online resources, I would have to say the bonus pages-they can be printed off and supplement the magazine and can be used as an additional learning tool. The edition we would choose would be the Taking Off edition.
micaela6955 at msn dot com
October 27, 2008 at 4:16 pm
OH, WOW! I will definitely be using the Teaching Resources! Thanks for the great link! And I would choose the Early Edition! Thanks for the chance to win!
October 27, 2008 at 5:28 pm
The Early Edition would be best for our crew… We got this when I was teaching at a private school and I always thought it to be a great resource. Thanks for sharing!
October 27, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I’d be most interested in Taking Off. It’d be perfect for my godson.
October 27, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Top Story would be wonderful for our family! Thanks for a chance to enter!!
October 27, 2008 at 6:43 pm
My husband would love News Current!
Cindy
October 27, 2008 at 7:10 pm
I guess top story would work the best for us.
October 27, 2008 at 7:11 pm
As many years as I have been homeschooling, one would think I would have heard about this now. Especially since I am in the ministry. I write family devotionals and object lessons for children. So I am blown away to learn about this today and it would not have happened if I did not visit your site. Hope to learn more soon. Please send me an email with more info about your magazine. Thank you so much and blessings to you!
October 27, 2008 at 7:21 pm
This is a great contest! We’d go for the “Early Edition” and the online resource we’d probably use the most is the bonus pages. We already subscribe to World mag and LOVE it! Thanks for the contest!
October 27, 2008 at 7:41 pm
I would like the “early edition” level!
October 27, 2008 at 7:42 pm
My most useful online resource would be the printable supplement activities in the early edition level!
October 27, 2008 at 8:04 pm
I would love the Top Story for my kids, I have 4 at home still that would fit that level.
October 27, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Thank you for having this. I have a prek and 2 First graders so I think the Early edition would be wonderful. Thank you!

October 27, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I would love the Top Story Level. Great giveaway!
libertythreads@charter.net
October 27, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I would use the Kids Corner from the Website and the Top Story magazine.
libertythreads@charter.net
October 27, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I have 5 kiddos so probably all of the levels…but, the early edition would probably suit us the best.
October 27, 2008 at 9:42 pm
I have many different ages as well, but I think I would like Taking Off the best right now.
Thanks so much!

October 27, 2008 at 10:33 pm
we have gotten these in the past and always love them. Couldn’t renew last year due to budget crunch… my 5th grader would love to get it again though!
October 27, 2008 at 10:37 pm
As for the links, I’d be looking at the Teacher’s helper.
October 28, 2008 at 5:37 am
I would love to receive the Top Story edition.
October 28, 2008 at 7:01 am
I would love taking off…my 1st grader would love this/ i haven’t heard of it before so I will have to subscribe if we don’t win!
October 28, 2008 at 7:43 am
I’ve always wanted to subscribe to this but never have. I’d choose the top story since both my girls are a bit older. though one is only in 4th grade, and the other in 7th. I’ll blog about this later today. I’m combining several to blog about all at once.
October 28, 2008 at 8:34 am
News Current (4th – 5th) – I have a 4th grader and feel this would be just an awesome addition to our homeschooling days!
October 28, 2008 at 10:57 am
Have never heard of this magazine…sounds very interesting. I would get the News Current for my 5th grader. Thanks for the chance.
October 28, 2008 at 10:58 am
Count me in!
Thanks!
October 28, 2008 at 10:59 am
The online resource I would use the most is probably the Kids Korner for my kids.
Thanks again!
October 28, 2008 at 11:37 am
Top Story would be my pick.
October 28, 2008 at 12:25 pm
These look great. i would like to start out with Early Edition if I won.
October 28, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Wow what a great site. I have a 5th grader so the News & Current would be the subscription I would need. I am excited to go back and browse the entire site. I will definitely use the Archive and Library.
October 28, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Taking Off would be the best choice for us. Thanks for hosting this contest.
October 28, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Would love to win this. Taking off would be good for my first grader!
October 28, 2008 at 4:04 pm
I have never heard of this before, but sounds good. I’d pick the Taking Off
October 28, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Great give-away!
Who doesn’t love magazines?!

October 28, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Taking Off
October 28, 2008 at 7:51 pm
I’d choose “Taking off”
October 28, 2008 at 7:52 pm
I love printables! I’m sure I’d get lots of use out of the printables online resource. Taking Off sounds like the best fit for my kids.
October 28, 2008 at 7:57 pm
The Early Edition would be perfect for my son. Thanks for the chance to win!
October 28, 2008 at 9:42 pm
I would be most interested in the Early Edition – Thanks!
October 28, 2008 at 9:45 pm
The parent/teacher resource section of their website looks great – I am taking over our children’s ministry activities at our church next year so this is a good resource!
Early edition for me!
October 28, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I would love the News Current for my daughter.
Thanks!
October 28, 2008 at 9:50 pm
I would use the Archive and Library resource the most. I would be interested in the News Current.
Thank you!
October 28, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Top Story would be wonderful.
Thanks
October 29, 2008 at 12:13 am
I used this same magazine when I taught school back in 2001. I loved receiving it in the mail and watching the students stick their noses in the pages. The room would get so quiet and then they would all eagerly shared what they read. Thanks so much. I think the TAKING OFF level would be best suited for our group of children.
October 29, 2008 at 12:43 am
I have heard such wonderful things about this magazine but I have avoid buying it because it’s just not in the budget. It would be such a bonus to our homeschooling though. I would be most interested in the Taking Off editions. Thanks!
October 29, 2008 at 12:58 am
I would like the News Current
October 29, 2008 at 1:00 am

I just checked out the website and there is so much I would use but I think what I liked the most was the Bible 2 Life Resources especially the Word Study.
We would like Taking Off.
October 29, 2008 at 11:27 am
What a wonderful thing to offer! We would love to have the Early Edition (preK thru 1st). My ds would love getting this in the mail.
thank you!
October 29, 2008 at 11:30 am
We would use the “news now” online help. I love that it is tailored to different reading levels.
(we would like the early edition–K-1st)
thank you… I’m very interested in going back to your blog and look around.
October 29, 2008 at 11:43 am
I have been wanting to try this out- what a great opportunity. We would go for the Early Edition though as my little one are still little ones!!
Thanks for the great giveaway!!
October 29, 2008 at 7:34 pm
