Quote:

Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated gospel.

Table for One: The Savvy Girl's Guide to Singleness by Camerin Courtney

A couple of Bibles are on sale at Amazon. This is kind of weird in that the sale prices look like they were set by the publisher, but nobody else is showing the lower prices.

The Orthodox Study Bible is $3.99
Amazon Now at: B&N Kobo (couponable in the US)

The Orthodox Study Bible is interesting to me because the Old Testament is a translation of the Septuagint. It uses the NKJV in the places that the Septuagint matches the Masoretic text, making comparisons between a standard NKJV and the Septuagint relatively easy.

For example, in the NKJV Genesis 46:27 reads:

Quote:

And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.
The Orthodox Study Bible (matching the Septuagint) reads:

Quote:

The sons of Joseph born to him in the land of Egypt were nine. Thus all the souls of the Jacob's house who went to Egypt were seventy-five.
I would have preferred a different translation than the NKJV, but it's a cool resource nonetheless.

The HCSB Study Bible is $2.99

It's available as a DRM-free epub at Ligonier's online store as long as you're willing to create an account. Just be aware that you'll get quite a bit of junk mail (both paper and electronic) from them.

By the way, if you want a new translation of the Septuagint you can download it for free from http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/nets/

There are a few interesting bargains right now:

The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus by Amy-Jill Levine is $3.99
B&N Kobo Parable Amazon

If you happen to shop at a local brick-and-mortar Parable store, ask them for the store's link to Parable online. The store gets a cut of online purchases if you use the link.

The Prophecy Answer Book by David Jeremiah is $2.99
B&N Kobo Amazon

The A to Z Guide to Finding It in the Bible: A Quick-Scripture Reference edited by the Baker Publishing Group is $1.99
B&N Kobo Amazon

The Books of the Bible is $4.99 at Amazon. It's regular price ($16.99) everywhere else. Be careful if you're looking, because the edition that just contains the New Testament is also $4.99 (so both are the same price at Amazon right now). Make sure you're getting the one you want. In case you aren't familiar with The Books of the Bible, it's basically the NIV formatted to be read like a regular book. There are no chapter or verse numbers, no footnotes and no section headings.

The Message Bible by Eugene Peterson is $3.06 at Amazon. This is the lowest price I've seen for The Message.
