In the next few weeks I’ll be posting some short blogs with a photo from my trip, and a question for you to answer for a chance to win one of our new photo books, tentatively to be titled Faces of Syria.
The book is being rushed through editing at TGS International (CAM’s publishing arm), then to the printer. It will hopefully be available in about one month. The plan is for it to be a square book, 8 by 8, with photos of the refugees on one side and quotes from them on the opposite page. Both my photographer Rosetta and I have put our heart into the book. We hope we will effectively share our burden for the refugees.
I hope you win, because I think you’ll love our book! See rules below the photo of me with one of the little Syrian refugee babies that stole our hearts.
Question: What child do you love?
- Answer the question, “What child do you love?” in a comment on this blog (or on the Facebook post) for a chance to win a book. You can actually write a name (or names) or simply say “my students”, “my niece” or “my three sons”.
- I will choose one winner randomly, to be announced in next week’s blog if not before.
- I plan to follow with a few more questions in the upcoming weeks, so I’ll be giving four or five books out.
- If you win, the book will ship to you in November when they are available.
- Good luck!

I love each of my children, but if I had a favorite, it would be the one who is right now poking my ribs, keeping me up at night, and doesn’t yet have a name.
Thanks for your generous offer!

I love my 5 children!
I am a child in a family of 13 children, including me. While I love each of my siblings, my next to youngest brother and I get along splendidly, and I spoil him to pieces. More often than not, I find him cuddled next to me in bed the next morning. He knows that I will always be there for him.
My students. They inspire in so many ways!
The one who is teething, and the one I’m trying to potty~train!!
I love my boyfriends brother whom we are raising as our own every other week. It amazes how something can mean so much to a child. He makes me want to better my life. He truly is a godsend. He is 7 years old but he has a difficult chilhood im glad we are there to make a difference in his life
My two precious daughters.
My 5 precious children that God has blessed us with.
By God’s love in me, I love my two little brothers by adoption who taught me the joy of unselfishness, and every little person I have taught in the past three years. I am learning to know and love the nineteen first graders God has given me for the next nine months. Thank you for being brave enough to write vulnerably and risk Syria to share these stories.
My 6 school children that I teach 5 days a week.
An aunt shouldn’t have favorites, should she? My sister’s first daughter, with her knowing, chocolate-truffle eyes, feels very close to me, as near to my own as is possible.
My nephew Jensen who always runs to give me a hug when he sees me, and my neice Emily who likes to sit with me in church!
My three nieces and nephew
Every child deserves to be loved. I love all 8 of my children God has given us. And it is My heart’s desire to love each one equally and that not one feels deprived of the love he needs. Even tho some need a little more love at different stages in life. My heart breaks for all the little ones who have no one to love on them.
My 3 precious babies: Kenzie, Carter & Zoe, who fill my life with so much joy.
After seven children, one DIL and one grandchild. I can’t pick just one. As one of the other posters mentioned, I probably love the one most that takes the most work, and by definition that child is a different one each hour. I love your writing and your view of the world.
The five dear children that God has granted to us! And my nieces and nephews, whether biological, through adoption or foster!
My nieces and nephews are at the top of my list.
I love my 2 granddaughters. And also the 7-8 year old girls in our class at club.
The one who causes me to wonder where I’m erring as a mother by sky-high emotions and naughtiness, but will instantly turn and kiss me incessantly for ramming his car into my toe.
I love all the 200+ children at our private school in GU, but my uncultured and unloved boy, Francisco, wins the prize for captivating my heart the most!
Liesl and Abbey. Never dreamed two little girls could consume so much love…or so much energy!
I love the baby Jesus, our Lord and Savior. All our grandchildren, and as Ruth said, the one you are holding. Wish there were easier answers for the refugee children.
