I am especially excited about posting this ebook. That's true for several reasons. First, I'll give you details about the book.

It's entitled J. Gresham Machen: A Biographical Memoir and written by Ned B. Stonehouse. Stonehouse was considered an expert on Gresham, I suppose, with him having written several books about Machen or his work.

The book appears to be 471 pages long, at least in the ePub. This ebook is seemingly of the first edition (1954).

The book is in print. There is a Kindle edition available at Amazon for $9.99, though it appears to be of a later edition. A hardcover of this edition starts at $4.75 there.

How good is this book? Well there is only one review, with a 4-star rating, at Amazon. However, there is an excellent 4.25 rating at GoodReads, from 20 ratings.

The main reason for my excitement is that I've had immense respect for Machen since college days, when I was required to read one of his books. Machen did his work around the turn of the 20th century or the early 20th century. He wrote about a dozen books I think. He was a brilliant scholar and also served as president of Princeton University for a number of years. Princeton was (and maybe is still considered to be) a Presbyterian college, but it was far less liberal and far less secularized then than it is today. Machen was in the thick of the fight against Princeton's movement into greater liberalism. I am looking forward to reading about Machen in this biography.

The book is free in a mobi and ePub version. I couldn't find a free pdf anywhere. A heads up: I downloaded both the mobi and ePub versions. The ePub didn't render well at all in Adobe Digital Editions. The mobi looks fine in Kindle for PC 5.

Here are the direct links:
mobi.
ePub.
