This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by CBD Reformed. As they always do, they are offering up 5 great prize packages, each of which will contain these 3 books:

• ESV MacArthur Study Bible - Retail price $44.99
• When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert - Retail Price $14.99
• The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller - Retail Price $25.95

When Helping Hurts is a very important book that shows how many of our well-intentioned efforts in global missions can actually be harmful. After I read the book, this is how I wrapped up my review: “If you are going to go on a short-term missions project you need to read this book; if your church is getting involved in working with the poor in your community, you need to read this book; if your church is looking for involvement with missions work overseas, you need to read this book. Corbett and Fikkert tells what we've been doing wrong and offer solid, practical, biblical advice on what we can do to get it right at last.”

In addition, CBD Reformed is offering a 4-day sale (May 4 - 7) on the following three products:

• KJV Personal Giant Print Reference Bible - retail $19.95 / sale $6.99
• Crazy Love by Francis Chan - retail $14.99 / sale $6.99
• How to Stay Christian in College by J. Budziszewski - retail $15.99 / sale $7.99

This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by first-time sponsor Discovery House Publishers. Discovery House has published several books that I’ve endorsed and/or reviewed in the past couple of years and they have packaged them up here and made them available for this giveaway. There are five prize packs to win and each one will contain a copy of all three of these books:

• The Last Enemy: Preparing to Win the Fight of Your Life by Michael Wittmer (my review)
• Written in Tears: A Grieving Father’s Journey Through Psalm 103 by Luke Veldt (my review)
• You Are the Treasure that I Seek by Greg Dutcher (my review)

I chose Written in Tears as one of my top picks in 2011, saying “Several years ago Luke Veldt suffered the unexpected and devastating loss of his thirteen-year-old daughter. After Allison's death, Veldt turned to Psalm 103 and he read it again and again. He read it every day for more than a year, and through that psalm he experienced God's presence. This book, a short but powerful little volume, shares many of the lessons the Lord taught him through his grief. It makes for valuable reading for those who have suffered loss or those who are seeking to help others who have experienced loss. It's profoundly moving and deeply biblical.”

This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by first-time sponsor Hendrickson Publishers. Hendrickson focuses on publishing Bibles and academic materials and they’ve got just the thing to interest you: The ESV Looseleaf Bible. They are offering five of them which means there will be five winners today.

The English Standard Version's rigorous fidelity to the original languages of the Scriptures has quickly made it a widely used translation--now it’s available from Hendrickson in a loose-leaf edition that will be a tremendous tool for serious students. There's plenty of room to take sermon or study notes on the text pages, which fit both three-and five-ring binders.

• 8.5 x 11 inch, 5-hole punched pages, including blank pages
• Sturdy, 11 x 11.5 x 2.75 inch, five-ring binder (pages also fit a standard three-ring binder )
• Concordance and center column references

The looseleaf format is very helpful for studying the Bible (though it’s a safe bet that you won’t be taking this to Bible study with you every week).

There are five of these to win!

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.

The Visual Theology series of infographics has now visited the ordo salutis, the attributes of God, the books of the Bible, Philippians 4:8, the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, Philippians 2:5-11 and, most recently, the tabernacle. I have opened a Visual Theology store where you can purchase any of these as prints. And just for kicks, I’d like to give away some of those prints.

So here’s the deal: Simply enter the giveaway using the form below (if you are reading via an RSS reader, you’ll need to visit the blog). You will see that there are many ways that you can gain extra ballots.

This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by CBD Reformed, and you know that they always offer up some great prizes. Today they give you your first chance to get ahold of Matt Chandler’s new book. There will be 5 winners this week and each of them will receive these 3 books:

• The Explicit Gospel by Matt Chandler - Retail Price $17.99
• Crazy Love by Francis Chan - Retail price $14.99
• The Barber Who Wanted to Pray by R.C. Sproul - Retail Price $17.99

Here’s a quick description of Matt Chandler’s new book:

Even if you go to church, it doesn’t mean that you are being exposed (or exposing others) to the gospel explicitly. Sure, most people talk about Jesus, and about being good and avoiding bad, but the gospel message simply isn’t there-at least not in a way that is specific and comprehensive.

Inspired by the needs of both the overchurched and the unchurched, and bolstered by the common neglect of an explicit gospel within Christianity, popular pastor Matt Chandler has written The Explicit Gospel, a punchy treatise to remind us what is of first and utmost importance—the gospel.

In doing so he makes a clarion call to true Christianity, to know the gospel explicitly, to teach it uncompromisingly, and to unite the church on the amazing grounds of the good news of Jesus!

In addition, CBD Reformed is offering a 4-day sale (April 6 - 9) on the following three products. Anyone is free to take advantage of these offers:

• Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church by Michael Horton - retail $19.99 / sale $3.99
• Institutes of the Christian Religion, Deluxe Edition by John Calvin - retail $49.95 / sale $16.99
• ESV MacArthur Study Bible - retail $44.99 / sale $19.99

This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Harvest House Publishers. As [almost] always there are five prizes to win and each prize is comprised of several books. Each of the five winners will receive:

• At the Throne of Grace by John MacArthur
• What Every Man Wishes His Father Had Told Him by Byron Yawn
• Finding God in Hidden Places by Joni Eareckson Tada

What Every Man Wishes His Father Had Told Him is a book I read recently and one I enjoyed a lot. In my review I said “What this book offers is interesting, helpful, mature reflections on what it means to be a man, to be a husband, to be a father. These are the little pearls of wisdom that too few men bequeath to their sons. This is manhood at its best, not some pathetic Eldredge-like counterfeit, but manhood grounded in the gospel and reflecting Jesus Christ.” 

According to the publisher “In What Every Man Wishes His Father Had Told Him, author Byron Yawn offers vital input many men wished they had received during their growing-up years. This collection of 30 simple principles will help men to Identify and fill the gaps that occurred in their upbringing; Benefit from the hard-earned wisdom of others so they don't make mistakes; Prepare their own sons for the difficult challenges of life.”

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.

This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by CBD Reformed and, as always, they have a pretty good prize for you to win! There will be 5 winners this week and each of those winners will take home a prize package that includes:

• At The Throne of Grace by John MacArthur - Retail price $22.99
• You Can Change by Tim Chester - Retail Price $15.99
• Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit by Francis Chan - Retail Price $14.99

At the Throne of Grace is a book of the pastoral prayers of John MacArthur. Here is what the publisher says: "For more than 40 years, John MacArthur has steadfastly committed himself to the careful and faithful teaching of God's Word. A key outgrowth of his study of Scripture is the profoundly God-centered prayers that precede his sermons. John's prayers are the offerings of a heart that is fully committed to honoring God, proclaiming and obeying His Word, and calling others to do the same. In this book, prayers and Scripture readings from across his years of ministry have been brought together to stir Christians toward more meaningful and edifying communion with God."

In addition, CBD Reformed is offering a 4-day sale (March 23 - March 26) on the following three products:
