Tricia and her husband John live with their three children in Kalispell, Montana. Tricia’s grandmother also lives with them, and Tricia volunteers mentoring teen moms and leading children’s church. Although Tricia doesn’t live on a farm, she can hit one with a rock by standing on her back porch and giving it a good throw.
Tricia has three books that will be out soon ...
My Life Unscripted (Thomas Nelson, Children's Division), Summer 2007
A Shadow of Treason (Moody Publishing), Fall 2007
Generation NeXt Marriage (Multnomah), January 2008
I am a wife, mom, mentor, writer, and homeschooling teacher living in Montana.
I was born in Mt. Shasta, California and I grew up in Weed. (Note: I said IN Weed, not on Weed.) In highschool I was a cheerleader for Weed High--which could account for some of my teen problems :-)
I am the author of eight books. And if you want to know about them you can check out my website: www.triciagoyer.com
My Life Unscripted Video Trailer Contest!
Watch the video for the contest here!
Here's the scoop!
Attention TEENS! Want to win an iPod?
I'm hosting a video trailer contest! My Life, Unscripted uses the metaphor of screen writing to challenge young women to "script" their lives, rather than be blown along by the next emotional drama or temptation! (Been there, done that!) A teen girl you know could be one of three lucky contestants to win an iPod!
How to enter:
Make a short (or not-so-short) video trailer sharing concepts from the book: My Life, Unscripted -- such as: how you've overcome temptation, or survived peer-pressure, or dumped the Loser boyfriend, or restored a relationship with your parents, or found your strength in Christ!
Be creative -- interview your friends (or even better, make them wear dorky costumes) and add some cool music. Then just post it on GodTube (video must be approved by GodTube before it is broadcasted, which takes a few hours) or YouTube! You also must include three things in your video:
1) the book title: My Life, Unscripted
2) the author: Tricia Goyer
3) and these words: "Check it out!"
After you finish the video, email your name, age, video link, and your address to: bookmarketing@triciagoyer.com
The winning videos will be the top three with the most views as counted on GodTube or YouTube on March 31, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. This contest is open to young women ages 13-19. So go ahead, tell your friends, your teachers, your youth leaders --and your parents friends to check it out!
Three winners will receive an iPod Nano 4G
10 honorable mentions will win a 1-year subscription to CCM Magazine!
(**small print: Videos with inappropriate content as decided by Tricia Goyer will be disqualified (G-rated please). For your best chance to win, only upload videos to either GodTube or YouTube. Choose one. We will not add totals from more than one site together.)
