Deal of the Day: Fabulous Friday
Every week CBD has a “Fabulous Friday” sale. There usually is not much worth buying. Today, though, there are some exceptions. You can get Ryle’s Expository Thoughts on all four gospels (in hardcover) for $24.99, a MacArthur Study Bible for the same price, C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity and Screwtape Letters together for $7.99, etc. It’s worth taking a look.
