A new Friday brings us another occasion to celebrate Free Stuff Fridays. This week’s sponsor is Crossway. They have put together a package of books ideal for a recent (or forthcoming) graduate. But, of course, the draw is open to anyone and ought to benefit whoever reads the books. Five winners will take home a prize package consisting of:

  • ESV Study Bible

  • No Little People by Francis Schaeffer
  • Things That Cannot Be Shaken: Holding Fast to Your Faith in a Relativistic World by K. Scott Oliphint and Rod Mays

Free Stuff Fridays

There are some great books there!

Please note that this week’s giveaway is open only to people who can have the prize shipped to a North American address.

These are all great books, I would love to have them. I already have your Spiritual Discernment book, and the rest would help me in my study.

Tim,

You outdid yourself. While there is never an offering I do not find desirable, this one looks to be extra special. I don’t know how you put these together each week, but thank you for doing so!

I’ve been to your site before, but this is my first time entering the Free Stuff Fridays drawing. If I win, I plan on giving the books to my son who will be going on a mission trip this summer and graduating from college next year. He has really been growing in his walk with the Lord. It was a step of faith for him to do this mission trip this summer and the Lord has really blessed him. Thank you so much for this opportunity! God Bless!

Every Saturday morning I go up to our church for my husbands band practice and I start checking out your blog and every Saturday morning I say, “pooh, I forgot to enter the sweepstakes last night”. Well, I finally remembered. I hope it pays off. I love to read good stuff!

I know just the person/people who would benefit from this (and no, I’m not talking about myself).

Thanks, Tim!

Am I the only person who receives ‘Free Stuff Fridays’ after midnight on Fridays, thereby making it impossible to enter the draws?

Unfortunately, if you subscribe to the site via email, you will not receive the notifications until it is too late. You may just want to visit the site earlier on Friday (the giveaways are posted by 10 AM EST).

Hi Tim,
Are non-winners also notified? If not, should we assume that we haven’t won if we don’t receive an email after X days? Thanks!
