Free Stuff Fridays (NIV Zondervan Study Bible)

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays giveaway features the great new NIV Zondervan Study Bible. There will be 5 winners this week, and each of the winners will receive 2 copies of the NIV Zondervan Study Bible—one to keep, and one to give away. Here is a little bit of information about this study Bible:

In an ambitious undertaking, Dr. D. A. Carson, along with a team of over 60 scholars from a wide range of evangelical denominations and perspectives, worked over a 5-year period crafting the unique study notes and features in the NIV Zondervan Study Bible.

These leading scholars have dedicated their lives to studying individual writers, books, and sections of Scripture. Their collective wisdom is now brought together in nearly 20,000 verse-by-verse notes and additional features that pack the pages of this Bible. As you read and study, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the biblical writers, the times in which they wrote, and the larger purpose of their writing in God’s story.

And here is D.A. Carson providing a brief introduction:

  • Harder to Change

    I’m Finding It Harder to Change

    As 2026 began, I decided to change up my devotions. I have followed roughly the same pattern for the last 15 or 20 years and thought it would be nice to freshen things up a little bit. It went poorly.
