This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Kress Publications and they are offering up five great prize packages, each of which contains three great books. Each of the winners will receive:

• Uneclipsing the Son by Rick Holland. Daniel Akin says, “It is possible to get so close to someone you no longer see them for who they are and what they are worth. Tragically, it is possible to do this with Jesus. In Uneclipsing the Son, Pastor Rick Holland brings us out of the shadows and into the glorious light of the Son of God as he is revealed in the Bible. Jesus is a great Savoir who accomplished a great salvation for sinners. Perhaps it is time for you to get reintroduced to this great King.” Click here to read the first chapter.
• God’s Wisdom in Proverbs by Dan Phillips. James Hamilton says, “One of the great pleasures of life is puzzling through the book of Proverbs, and if you're looking to navigate life with Solomonic skill, Dan Phillips is ready to show you the ropes. This book's author is not too proud to learn from the Bible and he's not too scared to think for himself. This is the first book I would recommend for those wanting to study Proverbs.”
• Upsetting the World by John Crotts. John MacArthur says, “The apostle Paul's message, methodology, and ministry strategy are the keys to fruitful evangelism and healthy church life. This fresh, insightful analysis of Paul's ministry in Greece is a superb study, showing why Paul was such a great leader, an effective church planter, a persuasive preacher, an outstanding pastor, and a remarkable pioneer missionary. No matter what ministry God has called you to, you will find this book a wonderful help and encouragement.”

That is three great new audiobooks for your listening pleasure. Of the three, The Transforming Power of the Gospel is the newest. Here is the publisher’s description:

The apostle Paul writes that we are to be transformed, but for many Christians, figuring out how to approach spiritual transformation can be elusive. Bestselling author Jerry Bridges helps us understand that we have available to us the ultimate power source for true spiritual growth: the gospel.

In The Transforming Power of the Gospel, Bridges guides you through a thorough examination of:

• what the biblical meaning of grace is and how it applies to your life
• how Jesus' work in His life and death applies to the believer in justification and adoption
• why basic spiritual disciplines are necessary for spiritual growth
• what role the Holy Spirit plays in both definitive and progressive sanctification

This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by the Ockenga Store at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. This store offers a wide selection of audio resources from conferences and events held at the seminary. It also has a variety of educational resources including Semlink, the distance learning program at GCTS, and Dimensions, education from seminary professors for the building of the church. It also distributes PulpitTalk, a quarterly audio journal published by distinguished preaching faculty, including Dr. Haddon Robinson.

The store is offering 5 prize packages, each of which includes:

• Preaching to the Heart by Timothy Keller - How can we change people’s lives with our preaching without simply providing information on the one hand or working on people’s emotions on the other? As preachers we are called upon to bridge the distance between the solid Truth of scripture and shifting demands of our congregation. How can we remain faithful to the task to which we are called? Each week, Tim Keller works to meet this demand to his own congregation. In this series he helps us to take a hard look at preaching that impacts the congregation with biblical accuracy.
• CASKET EMPTY: God's Plan of Redemption Throughout History by Dr. Carol Kaminski and David Palmer  - These lectures are intended to help you grasp the "big picture" of both the Old and the New Testaments and understand how God's redemptive story progresses through history and is fulfilled in the Messiah.
• Theology of the Pentateuch by Dr. Gordon Hugenberger, Senior Pastor Park Street Church, Boston, MA - The primary objective of this course is to introduce the student to the theology of the Pentateuch, stressing its foundational relevance for a proper understanding of the whole of biblical revelation.

In addition to the giveaway products being on sale, other sale items this month include “Greek I” with Dr. Scott Hafemann which is normally $50 but only $25 until the end of February. Tim Keller's "Evangelism and Church Planting in Postmodern Cities" is normally $20 and is on sale for $5 and Michael Horton's recent conference "The Ministry: A Fellowship of Receivers and Deliverers" is priced at $5 from its normal $12.

This week's Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by P&R Publishing and it features quite a prize package. Actually, there are 5 prize packages to win, each of which will contain the following:

• Equipping Counselors for Your Church by Bob Kelleman
• Uprooting Anger by Robert Jones
• All 27 volumes of the Resources for Changing Lives series of booklets.

The newest of these books is Bob Kelleman’s Equipping Counselors for Your Church. Here’s what the publisher says about it:

Want your ministry to have a lasting impact? The best way to leave a legacy is to equip others to leave their own. Leaders want to change lives, and the best leaders know that a truly effective ministry must train its members to become leaders themselves. After all, God’s people want to change lives too but we are all tired of approaches that promise much and deliver little. We are ready for an equipping ministry that is comprehensive, easy to implement, and relationship-oriented; not program-focused.

The 4E Ministry Training Strategy, tested in hundreds of churches already, is a best-practice tool for empowering God’s people to make disciples. Here is the 21st-century manual for a Christ-centered, church-based, comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally informed mobilization of the priesthood of all believers, enabling the body of Christ to change lives. So launch a revolution in one-another disciple-making, and make your church into a place not simply with biblical counseling, but of biblical counseling.

As always, there are 5 prize packages to win and each of the packages contains both books and all 27 booklets.

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 a little bit different, and I like it that way. It is sponsored by Reformation Heritage Books and William Boekestein who has authored Faithfulness Under Fire: The Story of Guido de Bres and The Quest for Comfort: The Story of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Here are the prizes this week:

• Two winners will receive a copy of Faithfulness under Fire and a print from the book (the stained glass window scene)
• Three winners will receive a copy of The Quest for Comfort and a print from the book (the printing press scene).

The prints are archive-quality and measure 11” x 17”. 

Here is a description of The Quest for Comfort: “The Heidelberg Catechism has been taught to children for hundreds of years, encouraging them to seek Christ as their true source of comfort. But how did this catechism get written? In The Quest for Comfort, William Boekestein and Evan Hughes combine history and art to retell the events that led to making the catechism. By sharing the stories of Caspar Olevianus, Zacharias Ursinus, and Frederick III and how they came to Heidelberg, children will gain a greater appreciation of the Christian faith as it is expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism.” The books are beautifully illustrated and perfect for young readers.

For the entre we have 3 Old Testament Commentaries from our popular Focus on the Bible Series including the new one on Amos by T. J. Betts

Amos: An Ordinary Man with an Extraordinary Message by T J Betts - Amos had no claim to fame. He was not even a son of a prophet. Neither had he had any formal training to be a prophet. Yet God called him out from a career of overseeing Herdsman. He was sent out from the south to bring the…read more

Isaiah: A Covenant to be Kept for the Sake of the Church by Allan Harman - Isaiah has been called the ‘fifth gospel’. Why? Because in it God speaks through his prophet of his people’s departure from truth, the need for repentance and the redemption provided by a coming saviour. Isaiah’s imagery is some… read more

Joshua: No Falling Words by Dale Ralph Davis - This exposition is rooted first in a thorough analysis of the Hebrew text, employing helpful insights from archaeology and linguistics, and second in the major theological and literary themes discovered in each section. Finally… read more

The Word Became Fresh: How to Preach from Old Testament Narrative Texts by Dale Ralph Davis - “I am a bit puzzled over why many Christians seem to think the Old Testament is such a ‘problem.’ I know the usual answers to that, but I can find many of the same ‘difficulties’ with the New Testament.
