Free Stuff Fridays

Giveaways / Free Stuff Fridays Collection cover image

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 development. I take this as a test of my resolve not to check emails in the evening. I will stand strong!

Now, with a new Friday comes a new edition of Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is Timberdoodle, who have sponsored a giveaway once before. This week they are offering up five copies of my favourite Christian book of 2009, Russell Moore’s Adopted for Life. You can read my review of it here.

But first, a word (and offer) from our sponsor…

Who Is Timberdoodle?
Timberdoodle began in 1985, when Dan and Deb realized that the homeschool supplies Deb used with their 3 daughters, ages 1, 2, and 3, were in great demand. They soon discovered that if she purchased products in case quantities, she could resell the excess to fellow homeschoolers and save them money off of retail. This began the Timberdoodle tradition of searching out the best homeschool supplies and selling them at discounted prices.

Free $5 Gift Certificate
Because Timberdoodle has spent so many years searching out the most effective language programs, most comprehensive math curricula and most fun thinking skills games, we feel confident that we have something that each of you would enjoy. So, in addition to giving away 5 copies of Adopted For Life, Timberdoodle is giving a $5 gift certificate to any Challies reader who signs up for Timberdoodle’s free email newsletter.

$5 Gets You A Lot At Timberdoodle
Free media rate shipping on any books or software.
Or perhaps a free graphic novel with your order.
50% off Thinking Putty, our favorite desktop fidget.
Maybe you would prefer an additional discount off our complete curriculum packages.
You decide!

To get the $5 gift certificate, simply sign up for Timberdoodle’s email list here: http://app.streamsend.com/public/DfQy/Tyg/subscribe. Your gift certificate will be emailed to you immediately. (You can easily unsubscribe at any time!)

But for now, sign up here at Tim’s blog to win a copy of Adopted for Life.

Rules: You may only enter the draw once. Simply fill out your name and email address to enter the draw. As soon as the winners have been chosen, all names and addresses will be immediately and permanently erased. Winners will be notified by email. The giveaway closes Saturday at noon.

    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,…

  • Motives Matter

    Motives matter, even (or perhaps especially) when it comes to something as very good as studying the Bible. The best motive for reading the Bible is to be transformed by it. For this to happen, we must approach our reading and studying with both confidence and humility, asking God to transform us through his Word.…
