The Old Testament book of Job is not only a mysterious and fascinating one, it is also perhaps the most important book in the Bible when it comes to understanding suffering. Why is there suffering in this world? Why does God allow even seemingly righteous people to suffer? What can we do to help ourselves or others who are suffering? Our new book Job: Answering the Question of Suffering gives a short, but in-depth, look at this biblical book – and the answers Job provides to some of life’s most difficult and important questions. You can download a free copy of this greatly encouraging book to read on any smart phone, e-book reader, tablet, or computer, here.
If you have never read R. Herbert’s widely popular book Lessons from the Life of Jesus, you now have a new opportunity to read the book or listen to a discussion of its main ideas. Rather than simply retelling the story of the life of Jesus the book focuses on some of the details of the Gospel narratives that are easy to miss, but which can help us to better understand the life and teachings of Christ. Lessons from the Life of Jesus is now revised and expanded in its fourth edition – and available as both an e-book (.pdf, .epub, and mobi formats here), and a podcast summary and discussion here! Download the format of your choice to gain insights you can utilize today.
Don’t have time to read a whole e-book? Want to get the key ideas and principles in just a few minutes? Or perhaps you would like to get a better idea of what an e-book is all about before investing the time to read the whole thing. If one of these situations applies to you, or you would simply like to enjoy a podcast style discussion of one of our books, we have good news for you.
We are now producing Deep-Dive podcasts for a number of our e-books. These podcasts give a more in-depth look at a book’s central ideas than a simple blurb can do, and are stimulating ways to engage with the book’s content and message. We now have the first podcasts available – providing short but meaningful looks at e-books we are sure you will enjoy. Listen to the podcasts on our sister-site, here, and check back often as we will be adding new podcasts each week.
Although we experienced some glitches with the first couple of our audio-books, these problems have been corrected now and so feel free to re-download a book you may have tried earlier. Also, we have added a number of titles to our audio-book list and you should find that these are all smooth listening. Check out the new titles on our dedicated audio-book page, here. And don’t forget that you can also listen to any of our audio-books on your Android phone using our free app.
We are pleased to be adding the audio book format to the available options for the free Christian books we offer! Now you will be able to download and listen to our free books in the .mp3 file format that can be played on any computer, tablet, or smartphone. We plan to release audio book titles each month and to have all our books available in this format as soon as possible. Our first audio offerings are already available – Seven Promises from the Words of Jesus; A Brighter Light: Seven Simple Steps to Help Your Christian Light Shine; and The Centurions – new and already very popular books by R. Herbert. Click on any of these titles to download the free audio book and enjoy it as you commute, relax, or as part of your devotional study.
A New, Free E-Book by R. Herbert – Seven Promises from the Words of Jesus
The promises recorded in the Bible are among the most important words in the Scriptures – and there are literally thousands of them! Even when we look only at the promises made by Jesus during his earthly ministry, there are hundreds of promises that could be considered. Yet many of these promises are prophecies that apply, for example, only to those who reject God, while others are clear promises made to those who submit their lives to him. That type of promise is of particular importance to every believer, and it is on those promises that this new book focuses. There are actually only seven such unconditional and ongoing promises that Jesus made regarding his relationship with his followers – promises for believers in every age – and it is these seven vital promises that this book examines. You can download a free copy of this new e-book to read on your computer, tablet, e-book reader, or smart phone, without registration or having to give an email address. Download a copy here.
