May's free audiobook from christianaudio.com, The Hole In Our Gospel by Richard Stearns, is out. It is so funny because I saw it somewhere earlier today and was intrigued by it. Lo and behold, when I checked my christianaudio email I read that it was the free audiobook of the month.
If you do not already have an account with them, I would encorage you to do so. Just create a username and password and such and they will send you an email each month telling you their free book of the month. I have downloaded some great books that I would have otherwise probably not read. However, I can load these audiobooks onto my ipod and listen as I go.
Their books of the month range from old classic authors like Martin Luther and Augustine to contemporary writers like John Piper and Mark Denver and everything in between. Even if I don't listen to it right away I try to remember to download it, because I never know when I might want to listen to it. And who can turn up a great free book! It seems that the books they offer for free download are usually very doctrinally sound.
Here is a paragraph from one of the reviews,
In The Hole In Our Gospel, Stearns presents a compelling challenge to westerners, especially the church, to forsake their myopic pursuit of wealth, comfort, and self-realization and to fulfill the uncomfortable command of Jesus to care for the poor. As Stearns says in the book’s introduction,
“…being a Christian or follower of Jesus Christ requires much more than just having a personal and transforming relationship with God. It also entails a public and transforming relationship with the world.”
That sounds very challenging, I hope it is! Now where did I put my earphones...?
