Well, we’re back from hiatus, and I’ve got a report on all the free stuff that you won’t want to miss out on this month. In case you’re not familiar with the little quotes for each piece, those are lifted from the various websites of the publishers; they are not mine.
The Brothers Karamazov (audio book)
“A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.”
Believers Church Bible Commentary: Ecclesiastes (Logos)
“In this volume, Miller respects the pastoral and theological contribution of Ecclesiastes, without muting its critique of simplistic and comfortable approaches to the life of faith. It is particularly useful for Christians who need a fresh look at the insights of this ancient sage in an era of uncertain identity, the flux of worldviews, and the elusiveness of truth.”
“The August issue of Tabletalk considers addictions. Both men and women are affected by addictions because of the fall. The root problem of addictions is that they reveal our idolatrous hearts. While there are differences in the various types of addictions, they all are a consequence of the darkness of sin. Thankfully, the Bible addresses addictions and gives us hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Prophet, Priest King (CredoMag)
“In this issue of Credo Magazine, three theologians walk us through this three-fold distinction, helping us understand each office better in light of the coming of Christ. So we invite you to come, like Mary (Luke 10:38-42), and sit at the feet of Jesus in order to marvel at how these offices display the glory of Christ.”
