About 95% of the text of this short (33 pages, and using large type at that) book is dedicated to listing Kindle public domain books. This in itself is not all that helpful--books like that are easy to find at Amazon.
However, this list would have tremendous value if the author has used some knowledge and experience to select the better books under each topic. I say, "if"--I have my doubts that the author has done this.
There is not much "meat" in the other 5% or so of the text, which tells how to search for free books at Amazon. This is the gist of it:
". . . . type 'Free Kindle book' and add the Christian topic you are interested in . . . . Remember, these are daily specials . . . . Now try, 'Free Kindle books' and add the last name of your favourite [sic] Christian author". Then, he gives a couple more examples of topics that you can search for.
I've said all of that to say this: there is not much in this booklet that you don't probably already know.

Ah but the point is that the individual reader makes up his/her own mind if they want a given book or not. While many are free PD books it does save the individual time searching if someone has already done the work and shared the results. And when I posted the link ther was no sign of it even being .99 for it. It was listed as $0.00 at the time. A lot of books here at MR re free for just a short time so it's not always clear that a given book is normally .99 or more either. It's the luck of the draw at all times and the thread saves time looking for books in genre or topic x as well.
