Free Stuff Fridays
This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by CBD Reformed. As they always do, they are offering up 5 great prize packages, each of which will contain these 3 books:

  • When Helping HurtsESV MacArthur Study Bible – Retail price $44.99
  • When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert – Retail Price $14.99
  • The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller – Retail Price $25.95

When Helping Hurts is a very important book that shows how many of our well-intentioned efforts in global missions can actually be harmful. After I read the book, this is how I wrapped up my review: “If you are going to go on a short-term missions project you need to read this book; if your church is getting involved in working with the poor in your community, you need to read this book; if your church is looking for involvement with missions work overseas, you need to read this book. Corbett and Fikkert tells what we’ve been doing wrong and offer solid, practical, biblical advice on what we can do to get it right at last.”

In addition, CBD Reformed is offering a 4-day sale (May 4 – 7) on the following three products:
