The Freebie Round-Up #145

I’ve been talking to a solo parent who hasn’t been in church for quite a while. She told me that she’s having a hard time going back because of what happened to her life. I knew her when she was a teenager and she was very active then. We talked about parenting and told her a story that is similar to her situation. That gave her encouragement to think about church again. Please pray for her as she makes her first step going back to church.

Anyways, enjoy these freebies!

You can find the new booklets first on the list along with all the free e-books included in this series.

(Interview) Aaron Armstrong

In his new book, I’m A Christian…Now What?, Aaron Armstrong delivered a blend of the usual and unique guide for the new believers. Having finished it, I can say I haven’t read something like this.

I reached out to him to talk about his family, John Piper, creativity and of course his book.

To add a twist, I dug some interesting IG photos from Aaron’s account and asked him to try and fill some stories into those photos.

Have your kids read one of your books?

My kids have read at least parts of one of my books, “Epic: the Story that Changed the World“. They acted as my test readers on that one, which was really kind.

Children’s Book Review: March and April Releases of The Good Book Company

Here’s some books that your kids might enjoy and get to know our Lord from The Good Book Company. Click on the titles of the book to order your copy.

“Helen Roseveare: The Doctor Who Kept Going No Matter What” – (Laura Caputo-Wickham and Cecilia Messina) – I read this one to my daughter and she liked it. The story might be brief but it feels like you have gone reading a big bio of this saint. It touches the highlights of her life without the having that feeling the story is rushed. It’s interesting to tell stories of contemporary notable believers and doing a common job that kids will be familiar with. It has a bit of suspense injected into it. This book drives an encouraging push to children.

Book Review: “Is Easter Unbelievable?” (Rebecca McLaughlin)

I’m excited to read something from Rebecca McLaughlin and I’m glad The Good Book Company provided something short and slated for Easter. It would be nice if you could consider getting this one for you or your unbelieving friends.
