Long-time readers of this site will likely remember the series of giveaways I did about two years ago. Every month or so I would give away something good–usually a couple of books or DVDs or something along those lines. Well, the giveaways are back and they are better than ever! This month I’m going to be giving away the biggest and best prize yet (though to be honest, the second and third place prizes aren’t too bad either). Altogether I’ll …
Tuesdays are review days at Discerning Reader and this week we’ve added five new ones. Because I am reviewing so many books these days, I will only be posting some of them at my blog. The rest will appear over at Discerning Reader and you can read them there if you’re interested. I’ve written reviews of a couple of popular titles, one coming from a professed Christian and the other from an ardent atheist. Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian …

Each of the prizes is an admission pass to the conference (or, if a person entering the contest wished to take his or her spouse, a pair of passes). A word about methodology for choosing the winners.

The Outdoor Bible, a perfect gift idea for someone this Christmas,is printed on 100% plastic material, which makes it a fully …

The selection of Bibles includes the Compact TruGrip ESV Bible (available in four styles) OR ESV Bible, Compact TruTone Edition (Cranberry, Filigree Design, …
After taking a month off (trust me, these giveaways are a lot more stress and work than you might think!) I’m launching another giveaway. This month I’ll be giving away an autographed copy of Simplify Your Spiritual Life by Don Whitney along with The Vally of Vision CD set (7 CDs). If you want to know more, just click on over to the Draw Page.
Thanks to all who participated in the giveaway of Amazing Grace: The History & Theology of Calvinism DVD and the Luther DVD. Response was overwhelming. Before I reveal the names of the winners, I’d like to once again thank Monergismbooks.com for their ongoing support. You can thank them for their support by visiting the site, even if it is just to poke around and see what they offer. If you would like to purchase Amazing Grace, that is the place …
