Free Stuff Fridays

Giveaways / Free Stuff Fridays Collection cover image

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by 10ofThose. 10ofThose exists to To support Christian mission through the provision of quality Christian resources. They produce small but excellent books and try to provide them to churches at the lowest possible prices. Today they are giving away 5 prize packages, and each will consist of 5 of their books:

  • True FriendshipTrue Friendship by Vaughan Roberts. “In a culture where online communications and communities can be set up in seconds, it is striking that loneliness is still rampant. Even in the church, a place where we might hope for an oasis of love and acceptance, we can find interactions awkward and superficial. It’s for this reason that Vaughan Roberts takes us back to the Bible, and challenges us to consider our need for true friendship. He’s both honest and clear in his approach as he shows us that knowing and being known by God is the hope we need to begin to deal with the sickness of our ‘self–love’ society.”
  • The Freedom of Self Forgetfulness by Tim Keller. “In this short and punchy book, best–selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel–humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self–condemnation. A truly gospel–humble person is not a self–hating person or a self–loving person, but a self–forgetful person. This freedom can be yours…”
  • Will you be My Facebook Friend? by Tim Chester. “In just a few years, Facebook has gone from nothing to a major feature of modern life. There are over 500 million users, half of whom use it on any given day. There is much that is good about this…social networking brings many benefits…but what about the dangers? Image, identity, idolatry and self–promotion are just some of the challenges that social networking can present. Dr Tim Chester looks at these issues pastorally and biblically, in his usual clear and candid manner. He asks pertinent questions to help us tackle them head on.”
  • Old Wives Tales by Clare Heath–Whyte. “In the eighteenth century God used men such as John and Charles Wesley, George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards to bring spiritual revival to both Britain and America – but what about the women in their lives? What was it like to live and work with such dynamic and demanding men? While looking through the lens of history, Clare Heath–Whyte draws out lessons for today, via the honest portraits of these seven unique women.”
  • The Everyday Gospel by Tim Chester. “It can sometimes be difficult to see the link between our Sunday worship and the Monday morning grind. So how can our relationship with Jesus impact how we live and serve in our daily lives? Tim Chester unpacks how we can relate the Holy to the everyday. He explores how seemingly inconsequential tasks can point us to Jesus.”
