Do you have any singer/songwriter that you just love? I HEART Sara Groves.
In her latest album, Fireflies and Songs, Sara is on a mission to write poetic commentary throughout the songs. Unlike some of her other albums, these lyrics are specifically about her life—completely vulnerable, real, and transparent. This album is chocked full of beauty and intimacy as Sara celebrates in the joys and hardships in her friendships, marriage, family, and life.
In order to WIN an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Fireflies and Songs, simply post a comment on this blog entry at MargaretFeinberg.com. Winners will be chosen Thursday, November 19 and notified when they win. Good luck!

I have never heard any of Sara Groves music. Everyone is always telling me how amazing it is. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the CD
If she writes and sings half as well as you write and teach, count me in! Besides, my wife likes her music and Christmas is just around the corner…
I love Sara Groves! Can’t wait for this new album, but even better if I can win it!
Sara Groves is amazing … she speaks to all ages, even me.
My whole family loves her music and her heart. She’s a terrific role model and influence in today’s world. Thanks for the chance to add her new album to our stash!
I love Sara Groves. So many beautiful songs… “The Long Defeat” from her last album, “Love Is Still A Worthy Cause,” “In The Girl There’s A Room,” “Add to the Beauty” and of course “Loving A Person.”
You could even do Sara Saturdays to compliment the wonderful Wednesdays with Walter!
i HEART Sara Groves too! …and when the saints, go marching in, I wanna be one of them… I’m gonna be singing that for the rest of the night!! Guess I better pull the guitar back out and get it out of my system
Sara Groves is an amazing singer/songwriter who pursued her career on an atypical path. I love her work and am often challenged by the way she wedges her way into my mind and heart. She inspires me to authenticity.
Pick me! Pick me!
I just discovered Sara Groves this year and have managed to get my hands on all of her albums already. Her music speaks into my life in such a powerful way it overwhelms me sometimes.
I LOVE Sara Groves! I was so excited to see her on your Organic God soundtrack list. Maybe There’s A Loving God is one of my favorites!
Oh my goodness, I LOVE Sara Groves! This is awesome that you are giving her new CD away… I was just looking at it yesterday on her website. BTW, will you be at the AMiA conference in January? Hope so!!!
Sara Groves is awesome, but you know what would be even more awesome? Winning an autographed Sara Groves CD!!!
You have great taste! Sara Groves is the best! I love “off the record” song with her son called “You cannot Lose My ..banana”. I have all her albums! Her and Ginny Owens are my favorite.
The first Sara Groves song I heard was ‘Conversations’. I loved it so much I searched for the album and a group of us performed that track at a university concert in South Africa. What I love most about her music is the ‘realness’ - the sincere lyrics - and of course the emotive melodies. Please please please pick me!
I love any artist that shares their faith from real life experiences. I have a 15 year-old daughter who loves the frank honesty of Barlow Girl, but Sara Groves is for big-girls
Sara’s songs and work for IJM was used by the Lord to draw my family and then others in our city to begin working with girls in the red light shops of our city. I’d love to get a copy of her latest. Thanks for the chance.
IJM and Sara Rock. Go to http://www.IJM.org to learn more. As Sara would say…… “May we all embrace the reality of God’s freedom in our own lives and become the miracle so many are waiting for.”
Favourite Song of Sarah Groves….”You Cannot Lose My Love” Would love to win her new CD!
Thanks for the message you brought to Lifeway Women’s Leadership Forum. It was the highlight of the entire thing for me.
Plan to email you a few photos of you and Hershey on stage.
Sara Groves is one of my favorite artists too. Her style is fresh, honest and amazingly beautiful. I am always blessed by her music!
Heard you speak at Lead Now/Fusion ‘08 and enjoyed it very much. I’d love to see what Sara has to say through her new album! Thanks for a chance to win it!
How exciting! Not only is Sara Groves a great singer but an amazing lyricist! Her music is so poetic and her walk with Jesus so challenging in a very good way. She is relatable as a woman a mother a daughter. I heart Sara Groves too!!
I HEART Sara Groves too! who could not HEART her?!?
I’d love to win this! Love Sara G!
How fun! Have I mentioned how much I love “heart” as a verb? I like (even if only in my small, informal, piece of the English-speaking universe) being able to reserve “like” and “love” for other uses.
And I am Past the Wishing…I’m pa-a-a-ast the wishing…I got her first indy album like 10 years ago and I have been down with the Groves crew ever since. It’s good that you heart Sara, because she’s so heartable!
Ooo! This is exciting! How fun =)
Vulnerable, real, and intimate–my goal in getting to know God better–count me in. I think Sara’s album will help me with the right mindset!
My favorite line from Sara:
“The places that used to fit me cannot hold the things I’ve learned.”
peace,
Glad Faith
Sara Groves ROCKS! Most underappreciated songwriter in Christian music, in my opinion.
Hi, I saw her come out with a new album. I’d love to win it!
Love Sara Groves. My theme song is “Just showed up for my own life.”
Love Sara Groves and p.s. love your new book!
I’ve not yet heard any of her songs, but I’m up for trying anything that you recommend. So count me in! By the way, when are you coming back to CCU to speak? We miss you!
I am anxious to hear her songs. I sign many songs at chuch and need to hear her!
YES! she is a delightful artist =) inspirational!
by the way…i just read “The Good Shepherd”…honestly, i can put the book down now and be totally satisfied with the entire thing. thank you SO much for sharing your experience and having such a love for God and Scripture and then bringin’ it home. i recently went to the zoo and visited the petting zoo. i encountered the sheep, goats and the llama. i will never look at them the same - ever! again - Thank You =)
this is the first time I’ve heard of Sara Groves.. i just went to her website and read through her lyrics.
they are so genuine in how they speak of real life and personal stories. i still don’t know what her music sounds like, but i am drawn to her honesty and willingness to share her thoughts, feelings and experiences.
I Love Sara Groves. I became familiar with her when she was a regional artist in the upper Midwest, and am delighted that her message is being presented to so many now. She is a blessing, and her songs come from the Scripture, and the heart.
Wowsers!!!! This is so cool that you are giving away an autographed copy of Sarah Grove’s new CD!!!! I am a college student and have been so encouraged by her music over the past few years. I would SO love to win this CD! I look forward to hearing it (hopefully) since its personal lyrics about her life. In my opinion, the best art often comes out of difficult struggles and trying times…I appreciate her vulnerability.
So, with that said, I really really hope that I am singing along to this CD sometime in the next few weeks on my way to work @ Panera. (provided that I win of course
If you love her, I’m sure I will too! Always ready to enjoy something new =)
I love Sara! I was able to sing in a backup choir behind her three years ago in Orlando at a MOPS Convention! I loved it and she was so down to earth and real!
I look forward to hearing her new work!

A few years ago there was this amazing vocalist on a Michael Card DVD. When I checked out the credits, it was Sara. She’s truly an “artiste” - her stylings rise above common singer. I also appreciate her passion to make a difference in the lives of others around the world.
I absolutely love Sara Groves. I caught on to her musicl later than most…the first album that I bough tof hers was “Add to the Beauty”. I absolutely love it and keep it in my car on a constant basis. She is gives truly profound messages in her music. She is the best!
I love what I have heard from Sara Groves - and Todd Agnew raves about her, too! That endorsement holds lots of water for me! So Margaret and Todd can’t be wrong! I would love to win Sara’s latest here and now!
Thanks - Andrea

Alright…so… I just moved to Puerto Rico about a year ago and I am music depraved! Don’t get me wrong, I love spanish music, but my heart yearns for those English lyrics! I am thirsty for that fresh cool breeze of Sara’s voice acting as the oasis in the midst of my desert. I yearn for women of wisdon who can share their battles while bringing hope to mine; that women in this thing called life, can reach out and cover eachother in love. Thank you for your vulnerability…it has taught me much! I heart you both!!! -XoXo!
