It is Good Friday today, a holiday up here in Canada. That means I am sitting back and spending the day with familiy. But I did still manage to get together this week’s edition of Free Stuff Fridays (I know, I know–Friday just wouldn’t be the same without it). Today’s sponsor is The Good Book…
Another Friday is upon us and by now you know what that means–another edition of Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is Shepherd Press, a name well-known among us, I’m sure. They are giving away 10 copies of Jim Andrews’ great book Polishing God’s Monuments. This was my favorite book of 2007 and one that…
Today is Friday and that means it is time for another Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is Seeds Family Worship. “Seeds Family Worship was planted when worship leader, Jason Houser, was asked to write some songs to help kids remember the verses from his church’s summer Bible school.” A few months ago I gave…
I am often asked for pointers on writing book reviews and recently realized that, to my recollection, I’ve never written on the topic. That may be because I consider myself quite a poor book reviewer. I got into writing reviews (over 500 book reviews ago now) by circumstance more than skill; I had a blog,…
Here we are at another Friday. This is a significant one around these parts because it’s the last day of school for our kids before they get a week off for March Break. This means that hundreds of thousands of Canadians are heading for the airports and, from there, to southern climes. And who can…
With a new Friday comes a new edition of Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is ChristianAudio, a company you must know by now for their monthly free downloads. If you visit their site just once per month and you’ll be well on your way to building a solid library of audio books. This week…
It’s time for yet another edition of Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is the same as last week’s—Ligonier Ministries. This week they are offering five great prize packages, each of which consists of three books by Richard Phillips and a pass to a conference. The Masculine Mandate is a newly released title from Ligonier’s…
It’s time for yet another edition of Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is Ligonier Ministries, a ministry that I suspect requires little formal introduction. You know it, of course, as the teaching ministry of Dr. R.C. Sproul. It has a long history of faithful ministry to the church. This week they are offering five…
First off, I apologize for the lengthy site outage. I had the site host do some work on the server yesterday and I guess they didn’t do it quite right. Somehow they managed to redirect www.challies.com to a blank page. Since I no longer check emails in the evening, I was happily oblivious to this…
It’s Friday morning, which means that I’ve got some free stuff to give away. For this week’s contest I cajoled my buddy Josh Harris into giving up ten copies of his new book Dug Down Deep. So there will be ten prizes, each of which will be an autographed copy of the book. Here is…
It has been quite a week. I finally got home from Savannah only to find that Aileen had succumbed to the flu that all three of the kids had while I was gone. While I was sitting in a Savannah beach house, she was cleaning up messes (time and time again). So I am mostly…
With a new Friday I’ve got some new free stuff to give away. Here we go. Andrew Case writes unique books, which is saying something when hundreds of thousands of new titles are being published each year. He writes books of prayers–prayers that are drawn almost entirely from Scripture. Each book is targeted to a…
With another Friday comes another load of free stuff to give away. This week’s sponsor, Crossway, is well-known to all of us. They are giving away a very generous prize–a copy of each of their January releases. This includes six books, including titles by such notables as John Piper and John MacArthur (perhaps you’ve heard…
After a brief holiday break, Free Stuff Fridays is making its return today. Free Stuff Fridays is really just a means to connect you with some great products you might otherwise not hear about. I am actually looking for sponsors for some upcoming weeks, so if you work for a company or ministry that would…
Another Friday, another batch of free stuff. It is becoming common to talk to people (at church, for instance) who say, “I don’t read your blog very often, but I do always read it on Fridays…” People who know me but don’t read my blog often feel the need to apologize for not reading it.…
After a week off, it is time for a new edition of Free Stuff Fridays. As this week’s giveaway is sponsored by Southern Baptist Theological Seminary it will come as no surprise that the prize is a book by Dr. Albert Mohler. They are giving away five copies of He Is Not Silent, a book…
This week’s Free Stuff Fridays sponsor is Modern Parables (modernparables.com). “Modern Parables is an original film-based Bible study curriculum on Jesus’ parables. It uses short films of the parables combined with teaching by pastors and in-depth study materials to create an entirely new learning experience. Modern Parables seeks to re-create the emotional immediacy that Jesus’…
This week’s sponsor is christianaudio.com. “The mission of christianaudio is to shape Christian hearts to think and do right. We are in the business of making contexts in which Christians can think properly about God, themselves, and the world. We believe that spiritual growth occurs within the framework of proper beliefs – the contexts that…
This week’s sponsor of Free Stuff Fridays is Shepherd Press. Shepherd Press is a ministry dedicated to publishing solid, biblical books and material. They are likely best-known for publishing material by Ted Tripp (including Shepherding a Child’s Heart) but they also publish material by a variety of other authors. I have yet to find a…
This week Ligonier Ministries is offering 50 (count ’em 50!) prizes. Each of the 50 (!) winners will be given a year-long subscription to Tabletalk Magazine (or a subscription for a friend, neighbor, hairdresser, family member, etc if the winner happens to already be a subscriber). Tabletalk is a tool that helps you grow in…
