Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Discovery House Publishers. They are offering a selection of books this week—I’ve read them all and I recommend them all. There will be 5 winners this week, and each of the winners will receive the following 3 books:

  • Despite DoubtDespite Doubt by Michael Wittmer. “In a world that says faith is all about taking risks—leaping into uncharted territory and expecting everything to be okay—many Christians struggle with the concept of walking by faith. How can you have confidence in God and follow His will when everyone around you is placing so much emphasis on doubt and the unknown as the driving force of faith? In Despite Doubt, Michael E. Wittmer reexamines this popular viewpoint and encourages you to get a clear understanding of your assurance in God and your salvation. Wittmer says, ‘Doubt is not the fuel of faith. Scripture repeatedly presents faith as our reliance upon what we know. Faith begins when we know the facts about God and His great salvation’.”
  • The Last Enemy by Michael Wittmer. “It can be unsettling to come to grips with the reality that death is the final enemy you will battle in this life. However, Michael Wittmer creatively and honestly brings hope and clarity to the subject as he helps you explore your emotions and reactions, the pain imposed by the enemy, and Jesus’ triumph over sin and death. Discover how you can have peace to focus on what matters most and prepare for everlasting life with God.”
  • Written in Tears by Luke Veldt. “Sooner or later, grief touches us all. In 2006 it pierced Luke Veldt with the sudden death of his 13-year-old daughter. The loss shook his faith, yet drove Luke to the Scriptures for answers. Now he shares comfort and wisdom for grieving hearts from Psalm 103. Luke discovered a kindred spirit in King David and surprising insights into the compassion of God. Written in Tears makes a wise, honest, and reassuring companion for those grieving.”
  • You Are the Treasure That I Seek by Greg Dutcher. “In the Old Testament you could spot idolatry quickly, and throwing an idol into the fire or knocking over a stone altar seemed to be an easy solution. What about today? Are idols just a part of the Old Testament past or of an Indiana Jones adventure? In You Are the Treasure That I Seek, Pastor Greg Dutcher takes a new look at an old problem with witty and relevant insights to help you identify idolatry in this modern world.”

  • What Grieves the Heart of God

    What Grieves the Heart of God?

    What pleases God? What delights his heart? And what displeases God? What grieves his heart? If asked, I think most of us would assume that if we ever grieve the heart of God it will be through denying the gospel or committing a grave moral scandal. Or if we do so as a local church,…
