This week's Free Stuff Friday is all about Bible study for small groups and individuals. This week's sponsor, The Good Book Company is offering 5 of you a chance to win a collection of all 33 Good Book Guides.

“The format is very user-friendly and the content is rich and accessible.”
—Justin Taylor, author, blogger and and VP of Editorial at Crossway

The folks over at The Good Book Company see their mission this way, "God's growth process for individuals and churches starts with us clearly hearing God's voice in Scripture. Therefore, our aim here at The Good Book Company is to produce resources which put the Word of God in the driving seat, helping ordinary believers open up the Bible for themselves. Whatever your age or stage in life, we offer practical, Bible-centered books and resources that will help you and your church family build your lives on the gospel of grace and serve the Lord better day by day."

The missional direction of The Good Book Company directly applies to the purpose of their Good Book Guides:

The aim of these Good Book Guides, as with any profitable Bible study, is to enable us to:

• understand the meaning of a Bible passage.
• fit the passage into the 'big picture' of God's total revelation in His Word, so that we can understand what it means for us now, living in the light of Jesus and His gospel.
• apply what we have learned in depth, to ourselves, individually and as a church, so that we can work towards practical changes in all aspects of our lives.

The range of Bible study guides have authors such as Mark Dever, Tim Chester, and Justin Buzzard among many others. And, coming early 2013, Timothy Keller.

5 winners will be awarded complete sets; however, The Good Book Company is offering to double the amount of winners to 10 if they can achieve 2,000 "likes" on their Facebook page by next Friday.

They are currently offering 55% off any bulk orders of 10 or more of their Good Book Guides, through the end of September. If you're interested in trying a few you can enter the discount code: chgbg and get 25% off each one, today only.

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Kress Biblical Resources, a publisher that exists “ to provide solid, biblical resources for those who have set their hearts to study God’s Word, to practice it, and to teach it.” They are offering up five prize packages and each package will consist of the following books:

• In Pursuit of Prodigals by Stephen Davey
• Awake O Harp by William Varner
• Uneclipsing the Son by Rick Holland

Pursuit of Prodigals is a helpful little book that serves as a short primer on the importance and practice of church discipline.

For nineteen hundred years, the Church practiced the discipline and restoration of prodigals, but in the last fifty years, it has been replaced by apathy, fear, and tolerance. This brief primer is prayerfully offered as an appeal to return to this distinctive, as well as to instruct and encourage shepherds who are textually bound and not so faint of heart. After all, should we not fear most the day of our accounting before the Chief Shepherd? In Pursuit of Prodigals was written as a call to faithful shepherds and for the edification of the Church.

Again, there are five prize packages to win, so you probably ought to go ahead and enter. If you would like to purchase In Pursuit of Prodigals, you can do so at 25% from Friday until Monday. Click here to take advantage.

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by CBD Reformed, a name you know well by now. As they always do, they are offering 5 prize packages, each of which will consist of the following three products:

• ESV Value Thinline Bible - Retail price $14.99
• Jesus + Nothing = Everything by Tullian Tchividjian - Retail Price $18.99
• Trusting God — Even When Life Hurts by Jerry Bridges - Retail Price $14.99

You will recognize Jesus + Nothing = Everything as a winner of several awards. Here is the publisher’s description:

It's so easy to forget what the Christian faith is all about. We struggle so much, work so hard, and fail so often that we frequently sense something in the equation of life must be missing. Tullian Tchividjian argues that what we are missing is the gospel--a fuller, more powerful understanding of Jesus and what his finished work means for everyday life.

During a year of great turmoil, Pastor Tchividjian discovered the power of the gospel in his own life. Sharing his story of how Jesus became more real to him, Tchividjian delves deeply into the fundamentals of the faith, explaining the implications of Christ's sufficiency--a revelation that sets us free and keeps us anchored through life's storms.

Ultimately, Tchividjian reminds us that Jesus is the whole of the equation as he boldly proclaims that Jesus plus nothing really is everything.

In addition, CBD Reformed is offering a 4-day sale (July 13 - 16) on the following three products:

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Reformation Heritage Books, a name that ought to be familiar to you by now. And they are giving away a prize that proved pretty popular the last time they did a similar giveaway. They have 5 prize packages to win, and each package will consist of 8 Journibles.

What are Journibles? Well, they are what happens when you smash a Bible into a journal. “The idea comes from Deuteronomy 17:18, where God commands the kings of Israel to hand-write their own copy of the Torah, or book of the law. The purpose of this was so that they would carry it with them always, read it, learn from it, and lead the people accordingly. It’s interesting to note that 3400 years later, educators have been discovering that most people learn kinesthetically, by doing or writing things out for themselves. As you open the book, you will see chapter and verse numbers on the right-hand pages. These are conveniently spaced according to the length of each verse. However, these pre-formatted lines are left blank for you to hand-write your Journible book of yourself.”

It’s kind of a neat idea, really. As you read the Bible, you get to write it out on your own—a great way of enhancing understanding and retention, and you also get to take your own notes. Pretty cool, eh?

So far there are currently 15 in the series and the winners will each receive 8 of them.

If you want to get a better idea of the format, click here to see a sample page from Galatians. Or you can visit the official Journibles site.
