Free Commentary Download

This may be one of the best freebies ever—a $35.00 commentary for free!


They just re-launched the Logos Blog and They really need our help to spread the word! Logos is making it easy by giving everyone a free commentary download to encourage us to spread the word and link to their blog! Not to mention... buy the entire commentary series!



Here's the catch: The freebie only lasts as long as the entire 9 volume series is on Pre-Pub.



As of the time of writing this email they were at 93% of the interest needed to move this commentary series into production. Apparently it is a hot series, and why not, contemporary scholarship from nearly 100 scholars, based on the New Living Translation, almost 5,000 pages, edited by Philip Comfort...



They will keep the freebie going after they reach 100% interest and move into production, but they will be working hard to get the finished series to market as soon as possible, and then the freebie goes away!



Now, here's more about The Cornerstone Biblical Commentary Series...



Last Friday the Cornerstone Biblical Commentary (9 Vols.) hit the Pre-Pub page. This relatively new series from Tyndale, under the editorship of Philip W. Comfort, Tremper Longman III (OT), and Grant Osborne (NT), attempts—like the second edition of the New Living Translation it is based on—to be both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful.



The CBC gives careful attention to both the words and theological message of the texts of Scripture and strives to be a helpful tool for teachers, pastors, students, and lay people alike.The contributors to this series—Allen P. Ross, Tremper Longman III, Darrell L. Bock, Harold W. Hoehner, and many others—represent a wide spectrum of theological positions within evangelicalism, reflecting the rich variety that exists in the church.



The 9-volume collection now on Pre-Pub includes the following titles:
Genesis, Exodus
Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations
Minor Prophets: Hosea-Malachi
Matthew, Mark
Luke, Acts
The Gospel of John, 1-3 John
Romans, Galatians
Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Philemon



Visit the product page to place your pre-order. Get the free volume now!



Logos has arranged with Tyndale to give away one of the volumes for free—no strings attached! For a limited time (until the Pre-Pub ships) you can get one of the volumes for free—visit the Logos Blog to find out which volume they are giving away!



They're confident that after you've had a chance to try out the free volume from this series many of you will want to place your pre-order for the whole collection.



Check out the Logos Blog to find out which volume is free, then download it and help spread the word about this free offer!

"The More"

The more generous we are,
the more joyous we become.

The more cooperative we are,
the more valuable we become.

The more enthusiastic we are,
the more productive we become.

The more serving we are,
the more prosperous we become.

The more outgoing we are,
the more helpful we become.

The more curious we are,
the more creative we become.

The more patient we are,
the more understanding we become.

The more persistent we are,
the more successful we become.

This really got me thinking...


Christian amusements
(J. R. Miller, "In Green Pastures" 1890)

Amusement must never become an end in life. Itmust always be a means, a help on the way--just as sleep is, just as rest is. An hour's amusement, should be to you, just what a night's sleeping is. It should make you stronger, clearer-headed, braver, calmer-souled, more hopeful, more earnest, more enthusiastic--inspiring you for godly living.

Anything which leaves a taint of impurity upon the life, or starts a thought of impurity in the mind, anything which degrades or debases the soul--is an unfit and unworthy amusement for a Christian. Christian amusements must be such as do not harm spiritual life; they must be means of grace.

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do
~ do everything for God's glory!"
1 Cor. 10:31
