Free Biblical Resources

I just sent this out as an e-mail to family and decided it would be worthwhile to put on our family site.

1. John Piper material. Here is Dr. Piper's web site. Sometimes you'll find free offers on this site directly. Of course, you can look at any of his sermons over his almost 30 years at his church plus many other articles. Even some of his books are online and free and may be downloaded without cost here.

On the top of the site, click on "About Us". Now scroll down to "Postal Mailing List". Fill out the sheet and submit it. Periodically, you will receive a letter from his organization usually offering a free CD of one of his recent sermons or other material. If you want you can contribute to the ministry but that is not required. Just check the box in the letter requesting the free info and send it back. Ok, it's not quite free. It will cost you 42 cents for a stamp!

You might also check out the e-mail subscriptions there as well and sign up. I presently have 5 or some of Piper's sermons on CD to which I have already listened. If anyone wants one, let me know the next time you are here. I will give it to you provided you agree to pass it on after you hear it. I don't care if I get them back but I don't want them simply thrown away.

2. Mt. Zion Chapel Library. Send an e-mail to chapel@mountzion.org and request their free quarterly publication called "Free Grace Broadcaster". This magazine is a collection of articles written by various Christian scholars/pastors all built on a common theme for the quarter. When your copy arrives, it should also contain a letter informing you of their current quarterly free literature offer. These offers usually consists of tracts and pamphlets with an occasionally small booklet. All you have to do is return the form with your name and address requesting this free literature and they will send it to you usually within 2 weeks. Yes, a 42 cent stamp is needed unless you can find a way to request it online. Maybe you could simply send an e-mail to the above address requesting it. They used to do that but now seem to have gone to the form. At any rate, it is good literature and essentially free on a quarterly basis.

3. Teaching Resources International. Ministry of Dr. Jim Ehrhard, a good man whom I have met and chatted with at conferences on several occasions. Go to here and click on the "Information" link near the bottom of the page. This will explain the various resources available. There is a link under (1) to which you may subscribe to the quarterly publication he puts out. This pub is similar to "Free Grace Broadcaster"; a magazine containing a collection of articles from various writers on a common theme.

4. Christian Communicators Worldwide. Here is the web site for Jim Elliff's ministry. Jim is a good man and quite funny if you ever get to meet him. Always lots of things here, many of which may be downloaded. Some excellent bulletin inserts if your church ever needs some. You can sign up for his monthly e-mail update which notes new items. There are items to buy but you will probably find enough free-bees to keep you reading for a spell.

5. The Center for Biblical Spirituality. Dr. Don Whitney's site contains some free stuff and you can sign up for his monthly e-mail which always has lots of good info. Most of the items here are for sale but he usually has some chapters from his books available for free reading. I have also met Don several times and he is a very neat person. Those are the ones that come immediately to mind and that I receive. There are others but this will do for now.
