Become a Friend of the Blog (There's Still Time!)

I want to remind you about rather a unique program I offer here at the blog (one that hundreds of you have already taken advantage of and seem to be enjoying). It is called Friends of the Blog.

This is a program I established in order to give people an opportunity to support this blog and, at the same time, to find a creative way of thanking them for doing so. The idea was to ask people to help support the site while returning far more value to them. And by and large I think the program has done very well in that way. Some benefits have come and gone while others have arisen. But through it all, I think the value has remained oustanding.

Let me tell you what’s in it for you if you become a Friend of the Blog.

There are deals and gift certificates for when you shop:

  • $10 gift certificate for Westminster Books
  • $15 gift certificate for The Good Book Company
  • Discounts on all purchases at Vision Video and on a subscription to Modern Reformation magazine

You’ll also get free books:

  • 4 new a-list books or DVDs of your choice from Zondervan (you can choose 2 today, 1 in a couple of weeks, and 1 in a couple of months)
  • 1 new book from Reformation Heritage Books (later this week)
  • a free 6-month subscription to Christianity Today

And there is lots to listen to:

  • 10 full-length albums, available for immediate download in mp3 format including albums by Sovereign Grace Music, Indelible Grace, Christa Wells, Shai Linne, Sojourn, and more.

That’s not all; there will be other things coming your way over the life of your subscription. But that’s still hush-hush.

But best of all, you’ll get a warm, fuzzy feeling for supporting this blog (and its author). Win-win.

I can testify that this is worth it for the music alone. I signed up on Saturday and downloaded almost all the current music. On Sunday afternoon I fired up Winamp and played it straight through the afternoon and it was a great way to spend the Lord’s day affternoon. After a few hours of it (and a nap on my part) and it was still playing, my wife said “You downloaded all that just _yesterday_?” My teenage daughters enjoyed the Indelible Grace stuff too since they had some of that already and one came downstairs singing along at one point. I’d like to say that they dog enjoyed it too, but I doubt she did that much.

I concur, Friends of the Blog is a great value and being one does give one the warm fuzzies.

I recently ordered the Soul DVD ( youth-oriented and evangelistic ) from The Good Book and it’s excellent.

Sounds great! But (forgive me for asking) what about free advertising (for those who subscribe)? :-D :::big grin::: Had to ask. :)

Do all (or most) of the benefits apply to Canadian residents?

Stephanie - Yes, they largely apply to Canadians. I believe the only current exception is the subscription to Christianity Today.
