Free Stuff Fridays

Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by a publisher that kind of feels like an old friend (and not just because the guy who heads it up here in North America is both old and a friend). I’m speaking of Banner of Truth. Banner has a long and faithful history of providing great books to God’s people. They were Reformed long before it was cool to be Young, Restless or Reformed.

This week they are giving away five prize packages, each of which contains the following three books:

  • My God Is True: Lessons Learned Along Cancer’s Dark Road by Paul Wolfe
  • All Things for Good, a Puritan Paperback by Thomas Watson
  • Living Faith, a Pocket Puritan by Samuel Ward

Banner BooksMy God Is True is a book about which I’ve heard lots of good things. It is a book that deals with one Christian’s fight against cancer. Nearly everyone knows someone who has had cancer. “But do we know well the Bible’s teaching that will strengthen us in the face of it? Everyone undergoes testing and trials. But do we do so trusting firmly in the goodness, wisdom and power of God? Here is a book that will help. My God Is True! is one man’s chronicle of cancer and the lessons he learned through it. In these pages Paul Wolfe tells his story of diagnosis, treatment and survival, and he points to the glory and grace of God along the way. Above all he points to the faithfulness of God, whose promises will certainly prove true. Read this story and be reminded that there is good reason - even in the midst of suffering - to worship and rejoice.”

It comes highly praised by Alistair Begg and Sinclair Ferguson. I’ll leave you to explore the other two books, both written by Puritans.

Giveaway 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.

As a plug for Banner of Truth, I want to encourage anyone who is ever near Carlisle, PA to get off the highway and visit them. You can get “scratch & dent” books for 50% off and anything in the warehouse for 20% off.

Tim,Above reads, “It is a book that deals with one Christian’s fight against caner.” With all the news of Ergun Caner on the internet right now you may want to change that:) For helping with this I think that I should win.

Anonymous, the only problem with your suggestion that you win for correcting Tim’s misspelling, is that since you posted that anonymously (and with no web link to who you are), ANYBODY can claim to be you! :)

Living Faith” is likewise a seriously good book(let). Get ready to exercise your faith. Here is a review of it in case anybody is interested: http://www.discerningreader.com/book-reviews/living-faith

Tim (and all) -First, I’m glad to be called your friend, Tim, but … “old”??? Come on! :-)I picked these three books specifically for this because clearly they are all aimed at helping us think rightly, and that is so important. “My God Is True” deals with cancer, but you can just as easily substitute anything else that has come into your life that is undesired. Paul Wolfe (a good friend who is NOT old, by the way) has done the church a great service in giving us this book - if you don’t win it, buy it! And the others go right along with that “thinking rightly” idea.Greetings from all here at Banner. I really am pleased to represent the books in this place. If you haven’t connected with the Banner of Truth, get connected with us. You will be challenged with some genuine spiritual meat upon which to chew. And if you have any questions or want to chat about it, let me know. I’m certainly accessible at steve@banneroftruth.org. Hopefully you’ll find me to be less than the “old” guy that my Canadian friend presents me to be.:-)
