Free Stuff Fridays (TGBC)

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by The Good Book Company. They are giving away a bundle of books for ministry leaders. 

The Bundle includes:

  • Both/And Ministry by Gary MillarGary Millar has been involved in training hundreds of gospel workers at Queensland Theological College. Pointing to Christ as our supreme example, he helps readers to reflect on and refine their own ministry practice in a range of different areas—while also enjoying God’s grace where they fall short.

As you look at all things through the lens of the gospel, you’ll increasingly become the fully-formed follower of Jesus and servant of his church that you have been called to be.  

  • 5 Things to Pray for Your Church by Rachel Jones – We long for God to be working in our church fellowship, and we know we’re meant to be praying for our church. But often when it comes to it, we don’t quite know what to ask for. Or we feel our requests to God are shallow, repetitive and stuck in a rut. That’s where this little book is designed to help. It will equip you to pray powerful prayers for your church family—prayers that really change things, because they’re based on God’s word.
  • Into His Presence by Tim Chester – This collection of eighty theologically rich and beautifully written prayers and meditations, adapted from Puritan prayers and prose, will enrich and deepen your prayer life. Each prayer combines beautiful words with profound truths. Read during personal devotions or use to lead rich and deep corporate prayers.
  • Zeal Without Burnout by Christopher Ash – Exhaustion and burnout is experienced by many people who are involved in Christian ministry, sometimes to the extent that they simply cannot carry on. Christopher Ash shares his wisdom in this short, accessible book, in which he reveals seven keys to avoiding burnout that flow from recognizing our human fragility and the necessity of depending on God. His practical and biblical guidance will help enthusiastic Christians gain the mindset and lifestyle to protect themselves from burnout and serve Jesus for the long term in a sustainable way.
  • The Christian Manifesto by Alistair Begg – In this book, Alistair Begg unpacks Jesus’ sermon in Luke  as a manifesto about genuine Christian living that lays out God’s vision statement for us. Begg encourages Christians to live a radically different life that upends the world’s values and philosophies. It’s a lifestyle that is counterintuitive and countercultural, yet one that God blesses with true meaning and impact. This compelling book will remind you of God’s grace and what it means to follow him, helping you discover the ultimate blessing that is found in him.

Giveaway Rules: You may enter one time. When you enter, you permit The Good Book Company to send you marketing emails which you may unsubscribe from at any time. The winner will be notified via email. The giveaway closes on Friday, January 31.

  • Trump, Trudeau, and the 51st State

    These are strange days in Canada. The incoming President of the United States has suddenly promised to slap a 25% tariff on cross-border trade—a tariff that has the potential to devastate the Canadian economy.

    Thoughts on Digital Libraries in 2025

    Do I have a library made up of thousands of books or do I have a library made up of a couple dozen? I suppose it depends on what you count as a book. It has been many years—at least 15, I think—since I decided to go all-in with ebooks, a decision I have stuck…
