Bloodlines For Free

Bloodlines was the book that I purchased because I was planning to preach about the sin of racial discrimination at my church. But unfortunately, I did not have a chance to execute my plan yet. So the book is now just kept in my old white bookcase. You know, pastors like to collect books. Anyway, I would actually like to let you know that today Desiring God has made the book available for free download.

John Piper, the author, says:

Bloodlines is one of the most autobiographical books I have written. It tells my story from racism to the path of redemption. I preached on the theme of Bloodlines yesterday to mark Martin Luther King weekend. The title of the message was “From Bloodlines to Bloodline.” I argued that God is calling his people to move from the alienation of many bloodlines to the reconciliation of the single bloodline that began on the cross of Christ.

I urged my people to read the book. Not because I care about selling books, but because I want them to know my story, to be aware to the global relevance of the issue, and to feel the hope that comes from the power of the gospel.

In making the book available in a PDF version online for free we are trying to remove every obstacle that might keep you from that experience.

Chapter six is the one I tried to unpack in this week's message (to be posted shortly). It is close to the center of the Gospel’s relevance for perseverance in the cause of Christ-exalting ethnic diversity.

Free E-books from Monergism

If you have kindle reader, ipad, ipod touch, or any other kind of tablets that can operate mobi and epub files, here is the link to the classical theological e-resource: monergism. All is free. I actually just downloaded Calvin's Institutes of Christian Religion, Berkhof's Summary of Christian Doctrine, de Bres's The Belgic Confession of Faith (1561). So enjoy the books and be glad in the Lord.

Logos Bible Software Free Books

The Logos Bible Software is giving away a book every month starting in January 2012. Click here! You can also subscribe to their mailing list to get the info on their future freebies and free books.

January’s Free Book of the Month is John Owen’s Temptation and Sin. This book contains:

• On the Mortification of Sin
• On Temptation
• On Indwelling Sin in Believers
• Exposition of Psalm 130

Temptation and Sin is more than a fanciful book on behavior modification; this is a powerful resource for anyone looking  to understand and battle sin. Theologian J. I. Packer has admitted to owing more to John Owen than to any other theologian—and owing “more to On Mortification of Sin than to anything else he wrote.”

Not only can you pick up your free copy of Temptation and Sin, you can enter to win the 24-volume Works of John Owen! Just head over to the Free Book of the Month page to download your free book and enter the giveaway!

Seminary and Bible College scholarship

Going to Seminary is expensive. On top of that, finding a scholarship can be really difficult. That's why I was so excited to find this Seminary Scholarship website today. Not only are they giving away a $1,000.00 scholarship and a digital theological library, all I had to do to apply was watch a short video and answer a few questions! It took less than 15 minutes. What is best of all is that if you're in seminary and apply for the Seminary Scholarship, and put my name as the person who referred you, if you win the scholarship, so do I! We could both get a $1,000.00 scholarship and digital theological library. So, do us both a favor and go apply for the Seminary Scholarship today.
