Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by our friends at Christian Focus. They are giving away stacks of book this week. There will be 5 winners and each of them will receive a copy of all 6 of these books:

  • Gods StoryGods Story by Brian Cosby. “Brian Cosby makes the past come alive for students to explain Christian identity and to help readers avoid past mistakes. The history of the church reveals God’s story for the world – despite the sin, corruption, and twisted events in the church’s past, God has preserved this remnant, His people. Get a new understanding of His plan for the church and your life.”
  • Water The Earth by Aaron Little. “Look at mission from a perspective that will help you to understand your own mission, both life-long and short-term, and give you tips to accomplish outreach where you are called, whether around the world or down the street.”
  • Big GodBig God by Orlando Saer. Why do bad things happen? Where does that leave ‘free will’? Does God choose us or do we choose God? What’s the point of praying if God already knows what he’s going to do? Orlando Saer tackles these questions – and more – in a straightforward and engaging way. If you sometimes struggle to understand the way God works in the world, or to explain it to others, you will find light here. You’ll also be left with a new appreciation of just how big the God of the Bible really is.”
  • The First Chapters Of Everything by Alasdair Paine. “Alasdair Paine writes in his introduction, ‘Genesis was not given to satisfy our speculation but to bring us urgent truths about God, our world and ourselves.’ This book was written to bring out the beginnings recorded in Genesis – where we came from, what went wrong, and the first promise of the Saviour to come.”
  • BasilBasil Of Caesarea by Marvin Jones. “Basil of Caesarea (329-379 AD) was a Greek Bishop in what is now Turkey. A thoughtful theologian, he was instrumental in the formation of the Nicene Creed. He fought a growing heresy, Arianism, that had found converts, including those in high positions of state. In the face of such a threat he showed courage, wisdom and complete confidence in God that we would do well to emulate today.”
  • Patrick Of Ireland by Michael Haykin. “Patrick ministered to kings and slaves alike in the culture that had enslaved him. Patrick’s faith and his commitment to the Word of God through hard times is a true example of the way that God calls us to grow and to bless those around us through our suffering. Michael Haykin’s masterful biography of Patrick’s life and faith will show you how you can follow God’s call in your life.”

  • Let the Lord Choose

    Let the Lord Choose

    Though we are limited beings with little knowledge, we are proud beings with little humility. When Jesus taught us to pray, he taught us to bring our petitions before the Lord, to bring to him all our cares, all our burdens, all our sorrows. We can and should plead our case before the Lord, for…
