“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.” (CS Lewis, “God In The Dock”)

by Stephen Rodgers

And after a month-long hiatus…we’re back. Don’t worry, we’re going to ease back into the swing of things, and in keeping with the ancient pact, I’m here at the beginning of the month to bring you a list of free resources you’ll want to know about.

  • The free book from Logos this month is Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Creation and Fall.  I haven’t read it personally, so I’m just the conduit on this one. One one hand, Bonhoeffer can be a tad hit and miss. On the other hand…free book.
  • The free book this month from christianaudio.com is Anna and the King of Siam.  You probably are more familiar with the name of the play: The King and I.
  • Ok, onto more familiar territory for people. The August issue of Tabletalk is out, and it’s on the topic of The Ordinary Christian Life.
  • If you haven’t already picked up all 17 free books in RC Sproul’s “Crucial Questions” series, now is your reminder to do so. If you have already picked up all 17 free book…well, they added 3 more. And they’re free. You should get them.
  • And last but not least, RC Sproul is giving away another free book this month, and it’s the very well-reviewed Surprised by Suffering.

That’s it. I’ll be driving all over tarnation and / or California this weekend to finish up some work related to LBC’s missions works in the Czech Republic, but I’ll hopefully be back next week to pick up where we left off in June.  See you then!
