Book Giveaway | NICNT Philippians Commentary by Fee
I haven’t given any books away in a while so I thought now is a great time! I have a commentary from the “New International Commentary on the New Testament” series to give away by Gordon Fee. This particular book is Paul’s Letter to the Philippians. 
I have a stack of books to giveaway in the coming weeks as well, so stay tuned.
This is an older commentary (1995), but still considered a great one.
Since everyone else is jumping on the “PunchTab” band-wagon I thought I might as well try it out as well. So if you want to enter the contest use the PunchTab widget below. One thing I have learned though using PunchTab so far is that you have to make sure you are not using an ad blocker in your browser. If you are then disable it for my site (I promise, I don’t have ads anyway).
Also, if you are reading this with an RSS reader you’ll probably have to jump to the site to participate.
Congratulations to Christopher Watson, Ph.D. student and adjunct professor at Central Baptist Theological Seminary, for being chosen as the winner.
“The Next Story” by T. Challies | Book Review & Giveaway
Tim Challies’ The Next Story: Life and Faith After the Digital Explosion has been extremely confrontational to my soul. If any of you know me well you know that I am a technology type of guy. I enjoy using my iPhone, MacBook Pro, Amazon Kindle, and a myriad of other devices to stay connected and informed. It is a rare occurrence when I am more than a few feet from any one of these technologies.
What I have learned from Tim is that I have a problem. I have a distraction problem and I have an idol problem. Tim addresses these topics and many more in this latest book. I think one would be hard pressed to find someone more capable to write such a book on technology and faith than Tim Challies. He is the author and owner of the popular Christian blog, challies.com, and is the author of a few other books as well. He frequently speaks at conferences on technology and faith, which makes him well suited to address this topic in a book. On top of these things he is also an elder at his church.
In The Next Story Tim does well to not only address how technology impacts our lives, but he does so through a Scriptural grid that intersects with theology. Each chapter is packed full of practical insight on how technology can serve us or how we can serve technology. One of the best aspects of how Tim has brought each chapter together is that he ends with a section on application and questions for reflection. These sections take the already practical insight that Tim has and helps you to process the thoughts personally.
One of thoughts that has stuck with me is when Tim was talking about how we have become a “skimming” society, always skimming material. He says;
If we grow so accustomed to skimming words, to passing quickly over texts, we will eventually impose this practice on the words of God. The danger today, in an era of skimming and fragmentation, is that we will fragment the Bible into small bits and have no time or ability to craft unity from the parts.
The church has been served well by this latest book from Tim Challies. I would recommend to anyone that uses technology in one form or another (read here, everyone) to get into this book. I think you will be surprised about how attached you are to digital media.
In conjunction with this review I am giving away a copy of this book. To enter fill out the form below. If you are reading this with an RSS reader you might need to click through to the page.
FTC Rhetoric: I do not receive payment for my book reviews. I do sometimes receive free review and giveaway copies from authors, publishers, and publicists. My first responsibility is to my readers, therefore, I am committed to honest reviews.
Congratulations to Coach Pete Wehry for winning this great book!

ESV New Classic Makoto Fujimura Edition | Giveaway
Since my first giveaway went so well let’s try out another! If you were at The Gospel Coalition Conference you already got your hands on the New Classic Reference Bible (ESV) Commemorative Edition. As far as I can tell this is not even available for sale yet (at least Amazon is 2 weeks out still and it is not even listed on the Crossway website). The Bible has a retail price of $70, so by price alone you know this is a very nice Bible. The back card inserted into the shrink wrap of the Bible says this about the Bible:
In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Version in 1611, Crossway presents this special commemorative edition of the ESV New Classic Reference Bible. This limited edition includes a publisher’s foreword recognizing the historic significance of the King James Version, and features stunning artwork illuminating the four Gospels, commissioned by Crossway and painted by world-renowned artist Makoto Fujimura.
This Bible is beautiful but I don’t need another one! So I am giving this one away through my blog. Similar rules as last time:
- One entry for simply filling out the form
- One entry for posting a link to this page on Facebook
- One entry for posting a link to Twitter
- Two entries for posting something about this on your blog
Contest is open to only residents of the United States (I don’t want to get crushed for shipping and duty to some foreign land)
Contest is now closed…congratulations to Austin Neal on winning himself this great Bible!
My First Book Giveaway! The Gospel of John (NICNT)
Since I have a few surplus books around here, and in some cases a few duplicates, I have decided to give some of them away through my blog. The first book I’ll be giving away is Leon Morris’ book, The Gospel According to John. This is a commentary in the “New International Commentary on the New Testament” series. This series is regarding as one of the best available.
What makes this particular book a little more special is that it is out of print. You can still buy it, but currently at Amazon the cheapest price is $85, used. So this is a great way to get an out of print book on the cheap (read free)! The newest volume that replaced this one is by J. Ramsey Michaels.
You can earn multiple entries based upon how much “work” you want to put into this.
- You can earn one entry for simply filling out the form
- Another entry for tweeting about the giveaway and following me on Twitter
- Another entry for posting a link to this page on FaceBook
- A double bonus entry for putting a post on your blog about this giveaway.
The giveaway will run until Sunday night at midnight. The winner will be announced at the beginning of next week.
