Review #004: 'Simply Jesus'

Simply Jesus, by Joseph M. Stowell, is a short, easy read intended to help readers develop a closer relationship with Christ.  Stowell addresses Christians who have a knowledge of Christ, but who feel that they lack a true relationship with him.  Of course, this is hardly virgin territory; innumerable books have been written on this very theme.  It's been particularly popular over the last twenty years or so.  The question, then, is this:  does Stowell bring anything new to the table?

Kindle freebies and cheapies, 20DEC12

Here are a few good books for the Kindle that are either free right now or really cheap.  Enjoy!

Good (not) free book #003: 'How to Choose and Use a Wide-Margin BIble'

Randy Brown over at Bible Buying Guide has put together a short ebook on the virtues of wide-margin Bibles and how to pick one and use it to its best advantage.  Randy's site is one of the two I'd recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about quality Bibles; it was one of his reviews that led me to the LCBP Notetaker's Bible, my personal favorite wide-margin layout.

He's distilled a lot of good advice into his book, and it's a worthwhile read even if you don't plan on buying a wide-margin Bible.  The book is currently $2.99 at Amazon.

Good (almost) free book(s) #002: Richard Wurmbrand

Richard Wurmbrand was known for his faithfulness under persecution in his native Romania, and for his dedication to spreading the Gospel throughout the world through Voice of the Martyrs.  Amazon has a great many of his books for $1.00 each, including his most famous work, Tortured for Christ.

If you'd like to read Tortured for Christ and either a) don't have a Kindle, or b) don't want to spend a dollar, then you can request a free dead-tree copy here.

Good free book #001: '[Citation Needed]'

[Citation Needed] is a collection of material from the blog of the same name, which of course happens to feature the queen mother of all cuss words as its post today.  That's as good a way as any to learn that the blog occasionally features language you probably didn't learn from your sainted mothers, so don't say I didn't warn you.
