Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by our friends at Harvest House Publishers. They are giving away 5 prize sets today, and each of the prizes will contain the following 3 books:

  • LifelinesLifelines for Tough Times by Mike Fabarez. “When tough times hit, we often find ourselves vulnerable—to doubt, fear, worry, even depression. We ask, “Does God care? Has He forgotten me?” So why does God allow suffering? Author Mike Fabarez—who is well acquainted with deep pain himself as the father of a special-needs child and as a pastor who has counseled many through life’s hurts—looks to the truths of Scripture for answers. Along the way, he shares… how complete trust in God alone can restore your confidence and hope; the power of focusing on God’s eternal goals for you in life’s temporary setbacks; God’s promises to love and protect you no matter what happens. This book will not only help you understand why God allows suffering—it will provide you with the resources to stand strong, rest in God’s care, and endure!”
  • Things That Go Bump in the Church by Mike Abendroth, Clint Archer & Byron Yawn. “What does the Bible say about the important topics you hear about in sermons every week? Authors Mike Abendroth, Clint Archer, and Byron Yawn explore issues where confusion abounds — critical issues such as: Hell: What does the Bible say about hell being a real place of future punishment? Demons: Just how much influence do demons really have in the life of a Christian? The secret to overcoming fear is knowledge. As you carefully compare your church doctrine with what the Bible says, you’ll gain confidence in knowing the truth and be able to discern and apply it. The more you know what God’s Word says about things that go bump in the church, the less hesitant you will feel about discussing them with others and living according to them.”
  • PreachingThe Kind of Preaching God Blesses by Steve Lawson. “A powerful must-read for every minister who desires to preach God’s Word in a way that truly exalts the Lord and nourishes His people. In 1 Corinthians 2:1-9, the apostle Paul wrote about the keys to effective preaching. In this compact yet dynamic book, readers will learn about… the priority of biblical preaching—an urgent call to every minister; the poverty of modern preaching—what is lacking in today’s pulpits; the preeminence of Christ in preaching—making Jesus the dominant theme; the power of the Spirit in preaching—replacing self-confidence with God-dependence; This is a passionate appeal to Christ-centered preaching—the kind that God blesses, the kind that brings real revival in people’s lives. Great for pastors, Bible teachers, and Christian students aspiring to a teaching ministry.”

  • The Quest for More

    The Quest for More

We want more money, more authority, more followers, more of whatever it is that we find especially desirable or especially validating. “Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,” says the Sage, “and never satisfied are the eyes of man” (Proverbs 27:20). We live within a vicious…
