Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by CBD Reformed. As they always do, they are offering some great prizes. There will be 5 winners this week, and each of the winners will receive the following 3 books:

  • Building for God’s Glory: Haggai & Zechariah Simply Explained by Michael Bentley (Retail price $15.99). “Times were tough for the first recipients of the prophecies of Haggai and Zechariah. They needed to be encouraged to resume the work of reconstructing the temple – to awake from their lethargy and to be enthusiastic for a life lived in obedience to God. The people were still very materialistic in their outlook. Their zeal was for ritual rather than reliance on the Lord. Their concern was for respectability in religious observance rather than an acknowledgement of their sin and a desire to please God in all their thoughts and actions. Michael Bentley has written a worthy commentary in giving a straightforward explanation of these two prophecies and applying their message practically to the needs of the church today.”
  • KellerThe Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism by Timothy Keller (Retail Price $16.00). “How could a loving God send people to hell? Why does he allow suffering? Can one religion be ‘right’ and the others ‘wrong’? Responding to the questions of open skeptics and ardent believers, Keller draws from literature, philosophy, reason, and real-life conversations to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief. 336 pages, softcover from Dutton.”
  • I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Norman Geisler & Frank Turek (Retail Price $18.99). “Norman Geisler and Frank Turek show, first of all, that truth is absolute, exclusive, and knowable. From there, they proceed to demonstrate that the cardinal Christian doctrines are true beyond reasonable doubt, all convincing for you as a Christians to believe, but requiring a leap of negative ‘faith’ if an atheist is to disbelieve them.”
