Book Giveaway

We here at the blog are firm believers in sitting at the feet of godly teachers gifted by God to glorify Him through teaching, in written form, what they have learned in there diligent study of the Word of God. We believe in that so  much that we will be giving away free books. Good books, too! This month we will be giving away Dr. Michael Horton's systematic theology: The Christian Faith. Good books, like Horton's, are of much value to serious students of the Word of God. Having a a sound theological library is a must for the man in ministry or seeking to be in the ministry. Reading those works (on top of Scripture of course) is also a necessity. When you examine all the great theologians, scholars, pastors and leaders in the Church, you will find they were all readers. Spurgeon read six books a week and John Owen read for 18-20 hours a day! So we want to help build up fellow believers libraries with great books.

Here are the rules to enter:

1. Must live in the U.S. or Canada.

2. Become a follower of this blog and make sure you leave your email address so that we can personally notify you, if you win, and get mailing directions. To sign up click on the "follow" button on the top or bottom of the blog and sign up. It should only take you a few minutes.

 3.Share this blog article on your Facebook or Twitter page (only if you have one). Of course we will not check on up on this. :-) We want to make this as easy as possible and give others a chance to win and get the blog some exposure.

Pretty simple isn't it? That's the way it should be. And  this Friday (20th of May) we will randomly draw a winner from the followers of this blog and notify you (be sure to leave an email address) and we will also announce it on Facebook. If you wish to be friends on Facebook, for those that aren't, our Facebook names are Fernando Cassie Ramirez (all one name) and A Wretch Saved. Soli Deo Gloria!

"Time must be found for reading, and we turn now to the more intellectual type of reading. The first is theology. There is no greater mistake than to think that you finish with theology when you leave a seminary. The preacher should continue to read theology as long as he is alive. The more he reads the better and there are many authors and systems to be studied. I have known men in the ministry, and men in various other walks of life who stop reading when they finish their training. They think they have acquired all they need; they have their lecture notes, and nothing further is necessary. The result is that they vegetate and become quite useless. Keep on reading; and read the big works." -Martyn Lloyd-Jones

For His Glory,
Fernando

  6. Finney's is a good study for those interested in Pelagianism, and the doctrines of men being taught as the truth of God.

    It is available on Bible Explorer 4 as a free download.

    Bible Explorer 4 is a free download with many resources itself, of both heretical writings and some very good, solid Reformed writings.
