Free Stuff Fridays

This week Evangelical Press, celebrating the opening of their US store, is offering five copies of Fearless Pilgrim: The Life and Times of John Bunyan. You may recognize the title from a review I wrote just a couple of weeks ago. I said there that “This is a fantastic biography–one that is well-written and nicely paced. It could so easily have bogged down through discussions of Bunyan’s voluminous writings, but Cook does an excellent job of saying only what needs to be said and allowing the book to move along. One endorsement of this book suggests that it is Cook’s best book yet. Though I have not read all of her works, I’d be inclined to agree. This is a very good biography and one that is worthy of a place on your bookshelf.”
