Free E-Book Alert – Glorious Ruin by Tullian Tchividjian
For tonight (June 17, 2013) only, Glorious Ruin by Tullian Tchivijian is available as a free .pdf download. I cannot recommend this book enough. You can read my review of the book here.
Located in Colorado Springs, David C Cook is very closely linked to many who have been personally affected by the recent wildfires within miles of our headquarters. While we don’t pretend to know the “why” behind these tragedies, we do know there is a “Who” that is there to suffer with us in our times of trial. With that in mind, we would like to offer a FREE PDF download of Tullian Tchividjian’s book to help aid anyone who might be wondering about the purpose of suffering in a believer’s life.
In this world, one thing is certain: Everybody hurts. Suffering may take the form of tragedy, heartbreak, or addiction. Or it could be something more mundane (but no less real) like resentment, loneliness, or disappointment. But there’s unfortunately no such thing as a painless life. In Glorious Ruin, best-selling author Tullian Tchividjian takes an honest and refreshing look at the reality of suffering, the ways we tie ourselves in knots trying to deal with it, and the comfort of the gospel for those who can’t seem to fix themselves—or others.
This is not so much a book about Why God allows suffering or even How we should approach suffering—it is a book about the tremendously liberating and gloriously counterintuitive truth of a God who suffers with you and for you. It is a book, in other words, about the kind of hope that takes the shape of a cross.

Free E-Book Alert – An Essay on the Kingdom of Christ
In his day, Abraham Booth (1734-1806) was one of the leading pastors of the English Calvinistic Baptist denomination. Once described by Andrew Fuller as “the first counsellor of our denomination,” he was always referred to by his contemporaries with deep respect. His chief claim to literary fame is probably his The Reign of Grace (1768). This essay, which has also been reprinted a number of times, was written some twenty years later, and is a valuable exploration of the ramifications of our Lord’s confession before Pontius Pilate: “my kingdom is not of this world” [John 18:36]. Booth argues that by this statement Christ depicts himself as a spiritual monarch, ruling over the realm of the human conscience and the heart [p.6-7]. Moreover, since “the empire of Christ. .. extends to every creature” [p.5], his kingdom cannot be regarded as coterminous with any earthly state. Building on these assertions, Booth queries “whether any national religious establishment can be a part of his kingdom” [p.21].
Free E-Book Alert – The Perfect Leader
Ken Boa hits the mark. You don’t have to look very far today to come across “popular” ideas of leadership that try hard to mimic biblical
principles. The problem is that’s all they do… mimic. Boa propels leadership a giant step forward with the revelation of the ultimate Christian leadership model.
Boa rejects the compromises found in much of today’s teaching that force-fit secular standards into a biblical mold—ideas that hover around humanistic ideas of fairness, kindness, and basic morality. Instead, Boa challenges leaders to do a serious evaluation of their approach and to follow the leadership qualities exhibited by God in his Word.

Free E-Book Alert – The Saint and His Savior by Charles H. Spurgeon
In The Saint and His Savior, Spurgeon has written what amounts to a basic introduction to the experience of God. He writes on the subject of religious experience, dealing in particular with the experience of beginning Christians. Spurgeon offers counsel “to comfort the mourner, to confirm the weak, to guide the wandering, and reassure the doubting.” The Logos Bible Software edition of The Saint and His Savior was originally published in New York by Sheldon, Blakeman & Co. in 1858.
““I have turned to Charles Spurgeon in these days for help, and I have not been disappointed. . . . I think the word ‘indefatigable’ was created for people like Charles Spurgeon.” —John Piper”

Free E-Book Alert – The Masculine Mandate: God’s Calling to Men
There is a crying need in the church today for men to be men. But competing visions for what a man is to be some growing out of popular culture and others
arising from flawed teaching in the church are exacerbating the problem. Richard Phillips believes it is possible to cut through all of this confusion by consulting the Bible. Only in the pages of Scripture, he asserts, can men find a clear explanation of their God-given roles as leaders, husbands, fathers, and churchmen.
Beginning in Genesis, Phillips shows that God commissioned Adam to work and tend the Garden of Eden. In these twin tasks, he perceives a template for manhood, one that, when carried out with diligence, provides dignity to men, service to mankind, and glory to God. He then goes on to show that men are called to lead, to love their wives, to discipline their children, and to serve the church of Jesus Christ. Here is biblical exposition of the most practical sort teaching that reveals not only what men are to think but what they are to be.

Free E-Book Alert – Alive to Wonder by John Piper
We’re happy to announce the release of our latest ebook from John Piper, Alive to Wonder: Celebrating the Influence of C.S. Lewis. It includes a significant introduction from Piper, written for this project, with a collection of extended excerpts from his corpus where Lewis’s fingerprints are most vividly seen.
Piper calls it “the immeasurable moment” — that instance in reading when we come across a sentence or phrase that unleashes a new glimpse of truth. The lights go on. We read it and reread it. We’re gripped to see more. While it’s an experience that can happen when reading any good author, many would testify that it abounds when reading C.S. Lewis. Undoubtedly, this has been the case for Piper.
Even a cursory reading of Piper’s most foundational books shows Lewis’s fingerprints. From the deep truths of Christian Hedonism to the good interpretive deed of valuing an author’s intention, Lewis-thought is there. And in this fiftieth year since Lewis’s death, Piper expresses his profound thankfulness in the form of this new ebook. (We’d like to thank Crossway and Multnomah for their partnership in making these extended excerpts available for this special volume — including the entirety of the chapter “How to Wield the World in the Fight for Joy” from When I Don’t Desire God.)
In the Introduction, Piper calls attention to a quality of Lewis’s work coined “magisterial humility,” which hangs as a banner over the particulars Lewis teaches. This magisterial humility, says Piper, is a need in our day, and while it won’t keep us from all error, we can learn from Lewis how to “embrace truth more wisely and humbly, even the truth he didn’t see.” So it is in this spirit that we commend Awake to Wonder. (from Desiring God)

Free E-Book Alert – Jesus Killed My Church
God is forever writing our story, and He gives us the dignity of being able to introduce characters that occasionally wrinkle the plot. Often we fear that we’ve permanently changed the trajectory of what might have been if we’d only been more obedient or pious. He smiles at this. He alone knows how many pages He has left before He needs to bring resolve, and He knows that it’s going to be okay.
Jesus Killed My Church is the story of a church plant that should have gone gangbusters yet managed to go bust, and a church planter who learned that the only measure of success is recognizing the leadership of Jesus as perfect. Randy Bohlender relays his lessons learned in a humorous way that drives home a point – that God has a plan even when ours fall apart.
