My mom has always said, “Readers are leaders.” I used to laugh at her and roll my eyes. But her motherly advice is true and I’ve found that out as I’ve gotten older.

What’s better than reading…free stuff. But now you can combine the two. All you have to do is read a book, which you receive for free, and then write a mini review on it. Keep reading, and keep receiving free books.

Thomas Nelson Publishers is a popular publishing company for Christian authors. They boast authors such as Donald Miller, Chuck Swindoll, Doug Fields, Billy Graham, Max Lucado and Ted Dekker.

This company is offering you the chance to be the voice of their books. You have access to a select number of new releases from their company to read for free, and then write a review on. It’s a great way to give your truthful honest opinion on their products and receive a free book that you get to keep.

All you have to do is agree to read the book of your choice and post a 200-word review on your blog and a consumer retail Web site (amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, buy.com, borders.com, etc). The books offered are updated as new ones are released and you can choose which book you’d like to read.

Sign up online using the online registration form at www.brb.thomasnelson.com. Once your application is approved you’ll receive a confirmation email to confirm your registration as a Book Review Blogger.

Then you just visit the Web site and sign up for the Thomas Nelson product that you’d like to review. The products on their Web site are available for review, but some titles will only be available in limited quantities, so I encourage you to read those books and post your review quickly so you don’t miss out on any books offered.

After you have requested a review copy you will receive your brand new book in the mail. Your reviews can be positive or negative but just have to be based on the book as a whole.

Once you visit the site and post your review link you can sign up to receive another book of your choice.

Not only is this a rare opportunity, but it’s a chance for you to gain some knowledge on a range of topics and also be able to relate that to your faith. Readers are leaders, so visit www.brb.thomasnelson.com today and sign up to receive your first free book.
