There is big news for Christian readers this morning. Today and tomorrow, Amazon is hosting Big Deal Days for those who have a Prime membership. They have a huge amount of items on sale crossing all categories. Of course, my interest is in books and Bibles and, thankfully, there are lots of great deals to be had (in printed rather than Kindle editions). Most are discounted by 50% or more. Click here to see the book deals.
For those who prefer Kindle editions, there is also big news. Eerdmans has discounted pretty much their entire catalog including volumes in some of the best commentary sets you can ever buy: Pillar, NIGTC, NICOT, and NICNT. This sale is so big that I gave it its own page. There are some other great Kindle deals as well.
