Great books on sale....

[Andrea411]

In the past few months I have noticed that many really good books go on sale and then the price goes back up. I bought N.T.Wright's 'Surprised by Hope' for $2.99

This week i just ran across a book by Gordon fee (noted Charismatic theologian who wrote How to read the Bible for all its worth... great book.

Just now I ran into this one and bought it...

If you guys find really good books, please let us know. Also some books that are for sale on amazon can be found free online in some places but be very careful there are scammers that offer free downloads (pirated books) these may come with malware. I never download freebies unless they are by the author...

Speaking of Gordon Fee, he will be releasing a revised edition of his highly acclaimed commentary on 1 Corinthians later this month which was first released in the 80's. It will now be based on the 2011 NIV.

Thanks for that info and I can't wait to see what he has to say; as his first edition is 27 years old it is becoming a bit dated (though still valuable) and I will certainly be looking forward to reading his new book.

Google books have a sample of this new book on their website.

Yes I discovered this randomly yesterday. I saw some good deals for the Old edition and then discovered there's a revised one coming that is triple the price of the deals I saw. I think soon the value of my Amazon wishlist will exceed my salary and all I have on there is books.

I can certainly relate to this; I've stopped putting in an online wishlist at my favourite Christian bookstore a longtime ago - the publishers seem to be releasing some really great books on a daily basis.

During the charismatic renewal of the 70's and even the early 80's, Pentecostal theologians were unthought of and all we had to fork out for were relatively inexpensive books by authors such as Dennis Bennet, Basham and Nicky Cruz.

Yes but in looking for the best deal, I found the 1987 edition 'new' for $13. Thats a good deal.

I often buy books like that I can then resell when I'm done reading them. Yes I know its hard to give up books but the truth is everything is online today anyway. A book has to be really great for me to keep it, I have 4 book cases full now. I admit most I will never read.... I have given away hundreds of books just to get organized (yeah that's going to happen - sarcasm).

But if you think of it as a loan, most of these books will sell well later.

just a thought, andrea

Of course Project Gutenberg is a genuine site. We will never ask you for money before allowing you to download our books, but voluntary donations are welcome. See the button on the left.

There are lots of free kindle books on Amazon.

Manybooks offers our books in a different formatting. If the book you downloaded from us doesn't work for you, maybe you can get a different copy of the same book here.

Feedbooks offers our books in a different formatting. It also offers ebooks for sale. If the book you downloaded from us doesn't work for you, maybe you can get a different copy of the same book here.
..........................................
There are many free books online and many ministries offer there books for free even if you see them selling on amazon. So check the authors website first before buying books. Of course eBay often sells great books for $1 plus S&H. I have found some great books cheap and resold them at a profit.

God bless, andrea

That is a good deal, but I'm one of those people who has to have the latest edition so I'll be waiting until some sellers offer that edition cheaper. I was born in 87 so I'm sure he'll have some changes since then lol. I also don't have the NIV84 the old edition was based on which I would need to pry away from my wife if I needed to check it but I do have the NIV2011. That's another expensive endeavor, collecting Bible translations. According to Fee's exegesis book, you need at least 7 when doing detailed exegesis.

I like Kindle books but I will never buy them unless I'm getting a significantly better deal for the reason you said and because I can't lend them to people. I think I only have 4 or 5 purchased books on my account. Bible study helps are almost always inferior in kindle form compared to physical copies.

Someone had recommended this book to me and S.McKNight as an author. I bought it at a higher price and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in having their perspective on how we read the scriptures challenged.
Not so much about a particular perspective but a book about how we look at scripture. I had no idea how much we had changed the scriptures to fit our culture, yet we readily accuse others of doing the same thing.

He is the author of the Jesus Creed, another book I am trying to read....

I just ordered it.... I want to become more prayer focused. I always say I pray 24/7 but lately I've been so busy buying a house, selling or renting one and I've gotten myself all tied up and anxious... the lord let me know worry is just another word for unbelief. More time with the Lord, more faith, less unbelief... no worries.... LOL.

anyone want to join me in reading it... we can compare notes?

God bless, andrea
