Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by New Growth Press. They are offering a great selection of books this week. There will be 5 winners this week, and each of the winners will receive the following 3 books plus 5 minibooks of their choice.

  1. Running ScaredA Quest for More: Living for Something Bigger than You by Paul Tripp. “Paul David Tripp expertly traverses the deepest recesses of the human heart and compassionately invites fellow Christian travelers to journey with him into God’s bigger kingdom. The author promises readers that they will be encouraged, excited, and motivated by hope as they learn how to set aside their ‘little kingdom’ attachments which can expertly masquerade within the church as Christian activism, legalism, emotionalism, formalism, creedalism, and externalism; in favor of God’s expansive and soul-freeing eternal quest. Tripp demonstrates through sound biblical principles how humanity is made by God to transcend far beyond the mere physical realm and is likewise created to be “glory junkies;” those whose visionary lives are governed by God’s grand purposes rather than existing only within their narrow self-interested confines.”
  2. Loving Well: Even If You Haven’t Been by Winston Smith. “Trade in Your Bad Relationship Habits for Something Better. Distance. Resentment. Avoidance. You want to love your family, neighbors, and coworkers. But all too often something goes wrong, and you find yourself tearing down the relationships you wanted to build. Are you doomed to keep repeating the same relationship mistakes? William P. Smith explains that destructive relationship patterns no longer need to control you. Experiencing God’s love will change you, so you can trade your bad relationship habits for real love.”
  3. Running Scared: Fear, Worry, and the God of Rest by Edward Welch. “Edward T. Welch reveals God’s plan for encouraging those in the grips of fear. One of the haunting dilemmas of the human condition is that fear is “an inescapable feature of earthly life.” Every person who has lived on this earth has encountered fear. Tragically, for this reason our race for the good life finds us all too often “running scared.” In his new release, Running Scared, Edward T. Welch investigates the roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications of living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread.”

Each winner will also be able to choose any 5 minibooks. The minibooks deal with a wide variety of important issues.
