Fast Action Giveaway

*Update

Replies only reached to 21, so my plans for giving the books to replies 25 and 50 didn't quite work out.

I did hear from one of the original winners, and so I've decided to ship him his book (it's on the way Chris).

For the other book- Grace, God's Unmerited Favor, I just used the random number generator tool and it landed on reply #1 which was Carlo Provencio of California. Carlo happened to insert his entire shipping address into the post and so no email response is needed.

It's on the way Carlos!

Thanks for those that participated, I have a better way to do this in the future.

I have a quick 1-day giveaway for you, so act now if you're interested!

Despite the p.s. note in the previous Spurgeon book giveaway that the winners would need to send me an email with their full shipping address, I still haven't heard back from 2 of the 5 winners. (I may try some sort of sign up form in the future so that I can contact you and your email stays private).

So I have decided to do a quick 1 day giveaway to get the remaining 2 books out to a good home.

The books are:

All of Grace by Spurgeon
Grace- God's Unmerited Favor by Spurgeon

Evidentialism vs Presuppositional Apologetics

"From my perspective, using a defective epistemology and a defective world view to try to slowly nudge someone toward the proper worldview is itself a compromise, and it's unnecessary. It's unnecessary because it comes from a theology that thinks that it's my job to convince somebody to adopt my position rather than the Spirit of God's job to bring about regeneration."

Was John Calvin a Murderer?

by Jim McClarty "This is a question that shows up in my email from time to time. It's a claim that is leveled by those who seek to besmirch Reformed Theology. Usually, the claim that Calvin was a murderer is an attempt to make all Calvinistic doctrine wrong through 'guilt by association.'

However, historically speaking, the so-called 'Doctrines of Grace' - which go by the nickname of Calvinism - did not originate with Calvin. They are the result of a Synod held in Dort, Holland in 1618/19, after Calvin was long dead. Those of us who hold to Reformed Theology do so not because we are attempting to replicate the theology or ecclesiology of John Calvin, but because we are convinced that the Biblical arguments and conclusions stemming from that Synod are valid and our own exegesis confirms the five points.

If it could be proven that John Calvin was indeed a murderous wretch, it would have no effect on the theology that sprung from the pen of the Reformers. In other words, the 'guilt by association' tactic has no teeth. That being said, let's clear up the history and let the proverbial chips fall where they will." continue reading...

New Workbook from Paul Washer

(from the description at Monergism.org)

The One True God is a unique kind of workbook, intending not just to teach truth but to lead to an encounter with the living God. Beneath that goal the book aims to ground believers in orthodox Christian theology and the actual contents of the Bible. Students are encouraged to thoughtfully draw conclusions from the Scriptures rather than to merely absorb the principles, inferences, and illustrations set before them by the author. For this reason the book does not include such material and instead focuses on digesting the Scriptures directly.

Through God's own words and under various systematic headings the book unfolds the nature of God. In this way the reader is set on a firm foundation and will readily perceive the centrality and high authority of biblical doctrine within the Christian life. It is the author's conviction that the study of doctrine is both an intellectual and devotional discipline. Therefore students are guided throughout the study to think through and apply the truths they learn, meditating on the demands of Scripture for their heart and mind. The book puts us squarely in the middle of the material, and demands we give searching thought to how we will live before such a God.

This workbook is especially suited for the following contexts: (1) doctrinal training for new converts; (2) college or adult Bible studies; (3) private study; (4) Christian or home school curriculum; (5) Sunday school material; (6) an aid to parents in teaching the Word of God to their children.
"In The One True God , Paul Washer has provided a sound, biblical, substantive theological study for those of us who have been longing for more. Anyone interested in bolstering their understanding of the Doctrine of God will find this study immensely valuable. Moreover, since The One True God is expositional in nature, it can also serve as a teaching tool to give young believers a solid foundation, or to aid in evangelizing unbelievers."
--Voddie Bauchum, Author of Family Driven Faith

"Paul David Washer's study guide on the doctrine of God, The One True God , is the best introductory work known to me. It sets out great truths in clear and balanced form. Human authorities are not quoted but it is evident that the author is familiar with the literature of historic Christianity and accordingly he misses the pitfalls into which others might fall. Young Christians could scarcely spend their time better than working carefully through these pages."
--Iain H Murray, Banner of Truth

"The One True God will lead you through a profitable exercise in biblical and systematic theology. You will learn what the Bible says about the character and attributes of the God who is truly like no other. This is a wonderful work that I pray will help many grow in knowing God. Read it and be blessed. Read it and worship your God."
--Daniel L Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

The Spurgeon books as seen in the video:


I will do a random drawing for each book on Monday 4/13/09


We'll cover shipping, no purchase necessary. Each item will have a different winner.

Some basic guidelines:

• U.S. residents only
• no 'anonymous' users
  
• reply to this post with your name and postal (zip) code
• indicate that you are interested in all of the 7 books or put the titles you would be most interested in (if you already own some of them)
• if you have a blog, feel free to leave a link to it
  
• check back in a week for a note in the Welcome! area at the top for a link to the winners

P.S. Believe it or not, in the past I have drawn winners that never responded back with their shipping address. If you don't plan to check back in a week to see if you've won, please don't reply to this offer, Thanks!

P.P.S. Some have replied without their name and zip code whom I have not let through. I ask for this info so that multiple people do not send me emails saying "I was the winner for book A, send it here" and I have to try to sort out who the real winner is. By asking for the name and zip, I can quickly match the one given in your reply with the one given in your email. If a name and zip is too much to give out, I understand... but that is how I have set this free giveaway up, sorry!
