Due to a vaction that extended from one Friday to the next, it has been two weeks since the last edition of Free Stuff Fridays. I know that this must have been a sore trial for those of you who visit only on Fridays hoping to win some free books! Nevertheless, I’m sure you survived.…
This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by a publisher that kind of feels like an old friend (and not just because the guy who heads it up here in North America is both old and a friend). I’m speaking of Banner of Truth. Banner has a long and faithful history of providing great books…
I had all sorts of wonderful plans on what I was going to write today. It was going to be witty and compelling and brilliant. But then I realized with a start that it’s Friday and that I’m due to speak at a men’s retreat this evening. There are several hours of driving between myself…
This week’s sponsor of Free Stuff Friday is Ligonier Ministries; you know them well, I’m sure. And today they are offering a great prize package that contains stuff to read and stuff to listen to–they’ve got a new book and an old classic, a classic teaching series and a series of new conference messages. All-in-all…
This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by a new site and one that actually just launched yesterday. CBDReformed.com is a storefront owned and operated by Christian Book Distributors and one geared specifically toward a Reformed audience. They say “In order to serve an important segment of our customers more fully, we have developed a…
This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Baker, a publisher I’m sure you are familiar with. According to their web site, “Baker Books has a vision for building up the body of Christ through books that are relevant, intelligent, and engaging. We publish titles for lay Christians on topics such as discipleship, spirituality, encouragement,…
This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Crossway, I name I know you’re familiar with (and, according to the survey results from a couple of weeks ago, the publisher you, the readers of this site, trust most). Earlier in the week Crossway sponsored a post here, letting you know about four of their new…
Would you like to go to a conference this year? Would you like to get in for free? If so, I’ve got some conference passes here that may interest you. Read about the conferences and then feel free to sign up to win tickets to any one of them. However, please only sign up to…
This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Moody Publishers, a company that is familiar to all of you, I’m sure. Earlier this week Moody introduced four of their books to you and today they’d like to give you one of each of those titles. They’ve offered up five prize packages, each of which contains…
A couple of years ago the duo Lashey & Joyner released an album titled simply Hymns. I was talking to Chris Joyner recently and he was kind enough to offer to the readers of this site a few of the tracks from that album. You can download them (for free, of course) below. Within the…
I woke up feeling all gross and sick today so, for the first time in at least six months, I’m declaring a sick day. Rumor has it that there’s some ugly but short-lived flu making the rounds so maybe it’s got me. Between me and you, I’m actually kind of looking forward to the excuse…
Tempus fugit, as they say. Every time a new Friday comes around I’m struck by how short a time it has been since the last Friday. There’s a lesson there, I suppose. With this new Friday comes a new edition of Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is Quickverse. You know Quickverse, I’m sure, as…
Today is Friday and that means it is time for another Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is The Torchlighters Heroes of the Faith, bringing worthwhile heroes to children through powerful animated stories. The Torchlighters are created by Christian History Institute, the founders and original publishers of Christian History Magazine. In 2002 CHI felt the…
What a week. Going to conferences is great, but I always return home half dead (at best). Late nights at restaurants and early-morning meetings always sound great three weeks out. But they demand a cost. Nevertheless, Together for the Gospel was great, even if I haven’t yet recovered. Let’s talk about this week’s Free Stuff…
It is a Jonathan Edwards kind of a Friday today and Moody publishers would like to give to you a set of five new books about Edwards. They are offering five sets of these books with each set being a $30 value. Not half bad, is it? The Essential Edwards Collection is edited by Douglas…
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…
